I think the Kenedy Honors was a giant FU to Bush
Streisand, Twyla Tharp, Morgan Freeman, The goddamn WHO (won't get fooled again, you numnuts)
FU Mr. President.


Yeah, we'll throw in George Jones for your sorry ass (Not that Jones doesn't deserve it)

3. Notice how Pickles had to get herself onstage. What a fright she is with her too tight
plasticized face.

13. This is a tribute to them
they don't speak. But seeing Streisand up in the Presidential box was priceless, she has not been shy about here contemp for Chimpy.

10. I don't think he wants to go overseas. He never travelled much
outside the US before he started presidentin, except to Texas-Mexico border towns for misbehavin'.

23. Hey Alyce! Sorry I haven't been around much for
the MM Show. I post some at night, but I don't have much opportunity to sit and simply listen to Mike unless Hubby is out of town on business. I miss all of you! I'll have to drop in some time, just to drop in.

12. Oh he'll go overseas
To some lovely country where he can't be extradiated - like Paraguay.

Buy up enough land people don't need to see your face

24. Shoes are bigger in Texas, too.
And I've got a pair of 6-inch studded black leather platform clogs here that weigh about 5 lbs. each. These things could sure `nuff get the job done, allright!

So George, please do come back to visit Austin soon. My two little friends are just *aching* to meet you close-up!

7. I think it's terrific
The whole thing and it is really sad to me if the best anybody got out of this was "fuck you" to Bush.

8. I agree, and that's why I think * appointed RW cronies to the Kennedy Center Foundation this week.

Purpose is to recognize "correct" culture. Waiting for Donny & Marie, Patricia Heaton, Kelsey Grammer, and Bruce Willis to get their medals.

15. And I'd like to add that
the show introduced me to Joss Stone. (Hey, I'm old! I don't keep up anymore.) Good goddess, what a set of pipes!

17. George Jones is a Democrat, just so you know.
He was a Wes Clark fan and even recorded robo-calls for Clark in Tennessee during the 2004 primaries. He hates George Bush.

And Pete Townshend initially supported the war - but has since come to his senses. He is a contributor to the Labour Party.

18. Honoring thoughtful accomplished artists is not necessarily directed against Bush
They're celebrating humane values and those who enrich our lives. No Bush need apply.

19. I agree.
It's coincidence.

When you honor smart and talented people, it just LOOKS like you're slapping people like mmmbush in the face. Can't be helped.
