The Annual Pep Rally for Democrats. Sucking Up to White House? Politics is Just The Script - Another Oscar Night Wasted

Land in OZ and get the Wicked Witch from the East! 
Thank goodness I was spared this. I haven't watched the Oscars in years.
I grew up in Hollywood and my father was in its business. It never held much awe or glamor for me. It is nasty, mean and boring for the most part and most of the stars are empty vessels without a script. 
It is ironic that the finest president of the modern era emerged from this mess. m/r

The American Spectator : Another Oscar Night Wasted

by  on 2.25.13 
Maybe Seth McFarlane should be footman to Mrs. Obama, our own Evita.

SundayI am not quite sure who Seth McFarlane is, but he must be important, because he was the host of the Oscars show last night. He managed to be the most offensive host I have ever seen on an awards show. He looks sane, but there is something wrong with him, or maybe it’s that the producers asked the writers to be really offensive, and the writers produced offensive material, and Seth McFarlane just blithely read it.
But herewith some of his bons mots:
He mentioned various actors who had played Abraham Lincoln — Raymond Massey, Daniel Day-Lewis — and then he added, “But the only actor who ever really got inside the brain of Lincoln was John Wilkes Booth.”
What the hell was that? A sick, evil joke about the murder of Abraham Lincoln on a network TV show? We have really gone way down into the toilet bowl of humor.
