TV Land Awards Turning Into A Bush-bash Fest.

Looks like the TV Land Awards Show is trying to gain some 'legitimacy' by treading into territory the Academy Awards skirted around - bashing Bush. The MC (never heard of him) opens the show with a quip about W's lousy jet pilot skills. Now I understand that TV Land covers dated shows, but that's no excuse for dated jokes. Then we get a long monologue from the Smothers Brothers, with the punchline being the tried and tired poke at W's and his so-called lies about Iraq. Ground breaking stuff.
I now understand why shows about a talking horse, a Martian and a witch were so popular in the sixties. It's not the Vietnam War television viewers were trying to escape. It's the rantings of these counter culture gurus, who were in their heyday at the time. Frankly, if Mr. Ed were talking out of his other side, I'd find him more entertaining and insightful than these twits.

You mean the Smothers Brothers emerged from the 60's in the 00's on TVland? How pathetic.

Why even torture yourself watching any award shows on TV? You know what their agenda is. Save yourself a few blood pressure pills!

I think Cedric The Entertainer is hosting this.Not watching. It's strange to give awards to shows that have been off for decades.

The MC (never heard of him) opens the show with a quip about W's lousy jet pilot skills.Hmmm... There's a word for jet fighter pilots with lousy "jet pilot skills." DEAD! And IIRC, the plane that President Bush flew back then was one of the hottest fighters around at the time, and it really took its toll on the lives of its pilots. I believe that more than 1/4 of those planes built were lost just in training accidents.
Now I understand that TV Land covers dated shows, but that's no excuse for dated jokes. Then we get a long monologue from the Smothers Brothers, with the punchline being the tried and tired poke at W's and his so-called lies about Iraq. Ground breaking stuff.
Those punchlines must be dated. Somebody needs to tell the Smothers Brothers that the NY Slimes just admitted that President Bush's intelligence reports were right.

Actually it was more like a sneak attack. I watched last year's show and it didn't have this political agenda. But I did turn it off after the Smothers Brothers crack.

It's called being on top! You want to be Number One, you have to take the potshots from the little people. GWB took the barbs after he won in 2000 and that just made him stronger
Heck, could you see the LIEbrals heads imploding if GWB said "Well, since Saddam didn't have WMD's and he didn't have ties to OBL and since he did let the Weapon Inspectors in, we're going to give Iraq back to him..."
Oh man, that would be so great.

Wonder how much stick time Cedric has in the F 104? Just love all the Hollywood and MSM nimrods who talk shit about W flying and they can't get a kite into the air. Pathetic.

The only flight time they have had is the result of being loaded on cocaine in the first class lounge.

Yeah, the Smothers Brothers, there's some fresh talent. Those f'''ers must be around 90 by now. Double George Burns, but less talent. They told all their good jokes 40 years ago.

The only way to get invited to the right parties and the right casting couches is to bash Bush. And these guys are supposed to be the creative ones? LMAO.
