NewsBusters reported Friday that Oscars host Billy Crystal intended to mock GOP "idiots" during Sunday's awards presentation. Roughly forty-five minutes in, Crystal was true to his word taking a cheap shot at the Republican presidential candidates (video follows with transcript): Billy Crystal: A dark knight, an American psycho, a charismatic crack addict. You'll get to choose one on Super Tuesday. And of course the audience found it hysterical.

“....a charismatic crack addict.”

I thought we was talking about Obama. :)

[Chgogal]

Whoops!

we=he

The Dark Knight????
Perfect description. Obama in Joker makeup...battling the Dark Knight!

Gotham needs you!

Let me think on this, do I want Ricky Gervais back? Hmmm... this is a hard call...hmmm...no. I’ll take Crystal’s snarkiness over Gervais.

Billy Crystal Nacht is an 0bamanite capo and useful infidel..

[Shyla]

Much to do about nothing.

I saw the clip. Didn’t seem like it was even funny to the lefties. To be funny, the joke has to make sense. It didn’t.

[JaguarXKE]

Thou shalt not speak ill of “The One” for it is blasphemous, even in jest!

[Chgogal]

That’s how I took it. ; )

Bill Clinton is the only charismatic crack addict that I think of.

This is why I don’t watch the Oscars and stopped going to movies. I refuse to contribute to the well-being of Marxist elitists.

Too bad some fools are actually influenced by what these comedians say.

Thus the popularity of receiving news via The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and SNL Weekend Update.

He called someone Batman? Isn’t that a compliment?

[tcrlaf]

PIMP THE MEME in front of 50 million potential voters.

“You don’t want to be associated with THOSE people, do you?”

NEVER, EVER underestimate the power of propaganda, folks.

Christian Bale played the "Dark Knight" and was in "An American Psycho," perhaps he also played a charismatic crack addict.

This "joke" only works if you can easily match the candidate with the description.

[mc5cents]

Let me take a stab at it: Newt is the Dark Knight, Ron Paul is the American Psycho and Santorum is the charismatic. He left out Romney which I suppose means he likes him. Enough said.

Wow, as they get older they look more and more alike though. (And sound more and more alike.)

Wow, as they get older they look more and more alike

Now here's some look alikes...the Three (Liberal Retards) Stooges!

I agree. That pathetic attempt at a joke really fell flat.

Well, hopefully our dark night will be over in January 2013.
