    Right On

    What more can I say? A nauseating evening capped off by the biggest weasel cop out. I actually watched for some escapist pleasure only to feel confronted again by this hideous capitulation to right wing pressure. What hypocrites to be so self congratulatory while spinelessly kissing ass.

    Crash? Are you kidding me? Stiff, sterotyped, shallow, shriekingly in your face Crash?

    To quote Bill Mahr, "I don't hate America, I'm EMBARRASSED by America."

    I looked for some commentary the next day and for ten seconds all I heard was right wing radio ranting about George Clooney?

    What a country.
