Even certified Hollywood liberals were reeling after Chevy Chase's potty-mouthed Bush-bashing Tuesday night at the Kennedy Center, where the actor hosted an awards ceremony staged by People for the American Way.
For most of the evening, Chase was his usual comedic self, delivering lines like "This just in -- resignations in the upper echelon of the Bush administration. The Bush sisters have resigned and are being replaced by Paris and Nicky Hilton. Back for more news later."
After actors Alec Baldwin and Susan Sarandon delivered speeches accepting their Defender of Democracy awards, Chase took the stage a final time and unleashed a rant against President Bush that stunned the crowd. He deployed the four-letter word that got Vice President Cheney in hot water, using it as a noun. Chase called the prez a "dumb [expletive]."

LOL
Who would hire him to speak anywhere?
His talk show was one of the worst things ever conceived for TV. And that's saying something.
Ah, the stupids never learn.....
He has seldom been funny since.
And Tuesday's poor behavior suggests that Chevy has a limited perspective on the world ....... and perhaps alot of alcohol.
Why these people are given center stage to spew this stuff is beyond my ability to grasp. My loathing of the hollyweird left knows no bounds. He's made his money and does'nt care obiviously. If Bush is such an idiot, lets see chase make a successful run for the Presidency. You don't get elected President by being stupid. You become a successful comedian by saying stupid things. Hey chevy, go screw yourself idiot.
The organizers of this event and the moveon.org event knew exactly what these two idiots do on stage. They expected it. They really want us to think they were shocked? I just hope it was filmed and saved. They hid the Goldberg show in New York and pretended it was nothing. Let us all see what that nasty hate group put out before the elitists. The voters need to see this.
I see your time is Short...my Mike is home for Christmas this year....Merry Christmas and your New Year will be a homecoming..
CC has no talent and no acquired dramatic ability....thinks he does.
And isn't it amazing that these "smart" Hollywood people have such, shall we say, limited vocabularies? And you are so right about the education slur they so casually throw around... to hear some of the Hollywood elite dismiss Pres. Bush's intelligence/education, you would think they had Ph.D.'s.... what arrogance. The good news is I truly think more and more Americans are getting fed up with it.
I still can't get over that they have an awards ceremony to highlight their futility.
oh. okay. I am sorry, I guess I should have known all that. then again, I'm not a memory expert of every movies that has produced since 1923.
This just in -- resignations in the upper echelon of the Bush administration. The Bush sisters have resigned and are being replaced by Paris and Nicky Hilton. Back for more news later."
Not a bad line. Jenna, you can stay with me until this tragedy is corrected. :)
I think letterman used this one in his monologue LAST WEEK. Geez.
If he's still in the AFLAC commercials he won't be after this....The Amos family that runs AFLAC is a good conservative group out of Columbus, GA.
They'll dump him...
NeverGore :^)
right.
Sounds like Chase was wasted. What an idiot. But a Defender of Democracy Award for Sarandon and Baldwin? The Defenders of Democracy are in Iraq and Afghanistan!
I was very disappointed recently to see that there was an ebay item of handwritten lyrics to one of Weird Al Yankovic's songs, which was being sold to raise money for People for the American Way. The ebay item description noted that the money would go to fight the right wingers! What an insult to a large portion of Al's fans.

"Chase was valedictorian of his high school class before attending Bard College, where he earned a B.A. in English."
He seems to have been a heck of a lot smarter when he was young. Today, he's apparently become just a bitter fool. Perhaps since everything he has done since the 80's has been less than sparkling, he's lost it.
What a waste.
