I feel so bad for the HollyWierd-I-Hate-America-crowd...NOT!

I feel like weeping melodramatically.

Doesn't it just break your heart....!

Interesting thought....we've been planning this war for HOW many MONTHS....and this is the weekend of the Oscars.....and the WAR starts!!!!

Geez, a bunch of pampered, over-indulged, sycophants won't be able to walk the red carpet and preen for the screen as they kiss each other's butts, and we're supposed to feel cheated.

Screw'em. Let 'em hold it in Baghdad.

fears that images of jewel-encrusted stars waltzing into the show would seem unseemly

I believe the word the author is looking for here is "frivolous". Nothing like raining death and destruction on others to make it easy to identify the "frivolous".

The spectre of war in Iraq is threatening to cost hundreds of millions of dollars in Oscars-generated revenue...

The SPECTRE of war? Well, too darn bad!!! Ha!ha!ha! I hope they lose their pants off in revenues!!!! It's about time these phoney creeps find out just how irrelevant they are!

[Sam Cree]

What's a sycophant?

Whatever it is, it sounds like the right word for those people (Hollywood jerks).

[MEG33]

Well, I can see you haven't gotten your priorities straight! (^;

[Kozak]

Another added benefit from the war.

[Born to Conserve]

I just want to clear one thing up: The Hollywood stars did not cancel the red carpet entrance ceremony "out of respect for our soldiers", they canceled it because they are afraid of terrorist attacks and or freeper demonstrations.

They are selfish, Selfish, SELFISH.

[BamaGirl]

I wonder if this is the main reason so many stars were against the war to begin with. How long ago was the March 17 deadline known? Wasn't it while back?

[Bush2000]

In a word: Good.

"The spectre of war in Iraq is threatening to cost hundreds of millions of dollars in Oscars-generated revenue from services ranging from coveted advertising time to Botox shots for ageing movie stars."

My first thought is 'so what' and 'who cares' about the traitors in Hollywood? After reading first line, think the author may actually feel the same way. . .
