Last Tuesday night, actor Chevy Chase hosted an awards ceremony for a group called People for the American Way (search). That's a left-wing outfit funded by Hollywood producer Norman Lear . The event took place at the Kennedy Center here in Washington and honored actors Susan Sarandon and Alec Baldwin , among others.

Watch for Chevy to get a new gig, noticed, this was privately applauded.

Is there really any difference between Norman Lear and Chevy Chase?

Most folks don't see any. BTW, this sort of thing really isn't news any more ~ it's simply expected of this crowd of superannuated alcoholics and dopers.

I truly think you are right... when one is that far gone this kind of behavior is to be expected.

Well, and how relevant are they, anyway? In his day clinton was routinely referred to as "turd", but still got reelected in '96.

The least funny of the original Saturday Night Live group further reinforces our original impression.

Chevy Chase, IMHO, has been unwatchable for a long time.

No kidding. This was (in my opinion) just another tired pratfall.

Chevy Chase was funny as hell 20 to 30 years ago. SNL was great in the old days and he had some great movies (Foul Play, Caddyshack, the first Vacation, etc.) back then. IIRC Chase got seriously addicted to drugs and his career has been worthless ever since.

My big question though is doesn't that idiot O'Reilly have anything better to do? Comedians making fun of presidents has been going on forever, and most presidents have enjoyed it.

There is a huge difference between making fun of presidents and calling them a dumb f*** in a highly public gathering.

I agree. What he said was despicable, but hardly surprising.

Chevy, George Bush is the president of the United States...and you're not.

(Not to mention, Dubya has a life...and you don't.)

"There is a huge difference between making fun of presidents and calling them a dumb f*** in a highly public gathering"

I am in total agreement.

I cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, picture a conservative on stage at a public event spewing forth such vulgar filth.

It just goes to show you how desperate and low the liberals have become.

They're rats trying to claw their way back up a slippery slope.
