Awwwww
Poor widdle BushCo fascists are having hissy fits over that mean Negro picking on them at the Oscars. Boo hoo hoo. My only complaint is that Chris Rock should have known that even the mildest criticism of Holy Bush will be punished, so he shouldn't have bothered with the obvious attempt to placate the righties with favorable mentions of The Passion. But the beginning was dead-on funny -- and true. (This USA Today piece has most of them, but not the best one and the one that pissed off Bush the most:
"A lot of people like to bash Bush – I’m not going to bash Bush tonight. I think Bush is a genius. Cause Bush basically re-applied for his job this year. Now, can you imagine applying for a job, and while you’re applying for the job, there was a movie playing in every theatre in the country that shows how much you suck at that job? It’d be hard to get hired, wouldn’t it?"Somewhere, Michael Moore is laughing his ass off. This just guaranteed another uptick in DVD sales for Fahrenheit 9/11. What's so silly is that the Bush people have apparently forgot the old rule: Don't call attention to things you don't want people to see. Because of BushCo's freak-out, now we'll probably see that bit of Rock's monologue again on the various news shows throughout the day today. Not what BushCo intended, I'm sure. Oh, and the Limbaugh/Hannity crowd are also upset that their efforts to strongarm the Academy backfired. I'm betting that The Aviator would have won if not for the wingnuts' attempts to punish Clint Eastwood for Million Dollar Baby. Awwwww. Schweeeet!
