.....and she fashioned a tight noose and hung herself.
Let's see, the fact that she did write most of it before the show was aired was evident. She couldn't come up with anything new so she recycled all the "awards" she wanted to give away...speaking of giving it away, that was proof enough she had her whole schtick canned before airtime.
Someone else already snipped the tiny paragraph wherein she actually referred to the awards show, begrudgingly admitting "there were some solidly good movies." Hollywood is so glad you took the time to notice, Cintra.
She also outs herself for the no-talent she is with her last paragraph:
"I would like to thank Ms. Camille Paglia for adding a whole lot of wit and intelligence to the podcast and for expertly negotiating my torrents of profane blathering. That podcast was a lot of fun and everything -- but in the end, it was like trying to jump-start a dead whale: There was no imposing life on the subject, and after a while, the putrid goo just got everywhere."
"Torrents of profane blathering," indeed. Oh, I see. It's the Oscar's fault your podcast (and article) sucked because they sucked. So if they were good (and they were) then none of your torrents of profane blathering would have made any sense, either, now would it, Cintra?
So we gave you all the rope you needed and you hung yourself. Good riddance.
Salon, you guys really, really suck. You can keep this stupid [bleep]ing website. What a waste.
