How predictable... far louder applause from the Hollyweird crowd for "let's hope this country comes out of the dark and goes toward the light" (Translation: it's all George Bush's fault we're in this mess, let's elect Obama in November) than for our troops in Iraq presenting the previous Oscar...

At least that ass Michael Moore didn't win for his "documentary" Sicko.

And then they drug out the drek against the troops after using them.

Exactly. The "support the troops" Hollywood crowd used them as a prop to rip their mission.

There is no single film tonight that I want to see less than Michael Clayton. Just saying.
