[Warren_Piece]

Are you kidding me? That's one of the funniest commercials I've seen inyears!

[Mo1]

I know .. but the left think he is sneaking into our homes and invading our privicy

Maybe I'm over reacting .. I just didn't think it was funny

[Dr.Deth]

That pic is Photoshop's finest moment!

[al baby]

So what do you have against the best golfer of all time????

[Robert A Cook PE]

Oh granted those problems. (Worse was the short time for the guy to make that model of the ship he had only seen once from a distance. ....

Never heard of anybody ever pulling wheels off of the cannons either, but it "could" work, and was a way to aim at the mast. But why not improvise chain shot or bar shot?

But reading M&C now shows me how better the movie script really was! Apparently, it (the movie) merged one of the early books (he was captain on a sloop in the Med) with a later book (when he was chasing the bigger Frenchman off Chile.)

[HairOfTheDog]

That was funny. Yeah - We were just wondering if the Oscars were getting like the Superbowl, ie new commercials.

[Petronski]

"Miss Congeniality"

My previous girlfriend just loved that film. Of course, she was also an insufferable twit.

[Rik0Shay]

Ditto

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

He looks like one of those "life force sucking things" from the movie Lifeforce, but he is facing the wrong direction.

[wizardoz]

Whe decided to pull Diane Keaton out of mothballs?

Tell me about it. From now on, when people say Keanu can't act, I say, "Hey, he kissed that old catcher's mitt and didn't look he'd just bit a lemon. I say the guy's earned a little respect."

[torchthemummy]

"I think Billy Crystal was referring to the guy who made the speech, am I wrong here? You people are SO FREAKING SENSITIVE!"

It was a good joke on the fly but you will never see anything about the amazing list of people that countered Bubba Clinton/Hildabeast and received audits. The chances are beyond mathamatical possibility.

[Lil'freeper]

Ok, is that Tiger Woods commercial new? I've never seen it before.

It ran in the theater before the showing of "The Passion" I attended. It was an awkward juxtoposition.

[pitinkie]

I think Wagner pushed her in as a joke and left her there...they were all drunk.

[Dr.Deth]

I'm a crack addict now!

[NYC GOP Chick]

True, true. And as far as I'm concerned, the Oscars became totally irrelevant when they hosed Russell Crowe and snubbed him for A Beautiful Mind. I knew for sure then what a total scam it was.

[BigWaveBetty]

I'm speechless.

[Lil'freeper]

Whoohoo! Phil Collins- break out the Ritalin. ;)

[kenth]

So, was it true that in the tribute clips, Leni Riefenstahl was shown? And Hollywood has the audacity to claim anyone else is anti-Semitic?

[JulieRNR21]

Gosh.....wonder if he meant to say....we found Saddam down a rabbit hole.....but those Hollyweird types don't have that much common sense.

[DoughtyOne]

Death at the hands of communists are of now concern to this guy and his ilk.

What upset me about Crystal was his comment about the IRS auditing this man. I'll bet Crystal is completely oblivious to what took place under the Clintons.
