Billy Crystal Calls GOP Candidates 'Dark Knight, an American Psycho and a Charismatic
Newsbusters ^ | 2/26/12 | Noel Sheppard

Posted on 02/26/2012 8:01:43 PM PST by Nachum

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.

Way to be cutting edge Billy. A joke bashing Republicans to a crowd to the left of Stalin. Courageous.

These Washington insider elites are smarmy, laugh at their own jokes but are not funny.

So I’m confused...which is the charismatic crack addict?

Between the 5 (our 4 and their 1) theirs is the only one that I know of that has definitely done drugs and admitted it.

Must be liberal projection again

Too bad they have the “second biggest TV audience” of the year. Too bad some fools are actually influenced by what these comedians say.

How about the big eared, muslim kissing jackass in the white house who just ruined America's credit rating, tanked the economy, put us in debt and is shrinking our military.....?

What say you Billy on Dumbo's performance so far?

Which is supposed to be which? I mean, it’s only funny if there’s a grain of truth. If there’s a grain of truth, it’s usually evident. But I honestly can’t tell who he thinks is a crack addict. Presumably liberals think all three are psycho...

Thats why I’d rather gouge my own eyes out than spend hours watching half-wit, self indulgent and pompous celebrities have orgasms about each other’s movies that 7 people in the country have watched. If Billy Crystal and the entire auditorium of celebrity retards got nuked, the world would be a better place.

Just make sure Kim Kardashian was right next to the nuke when it went off.

Crystal spoke from personal knowledge of his Hollywood/entertainment friends. He and his friends live in the cesspool of decent humanity. I’ll bet there are many people who get a high by living vicariously with these people and pay for their dress and jewelry.

A dark knight, an American psycho, a charismatic crack addict.

Isn't that the perfect description of our Dear Leader, Pharaoh Obama?

And probably most of the people who were there to hear it. Seems to me like only a psycho or somebody high would have made any connection between those words and any of the R candidates. Who the heck did he think he was talking about in a comment that made absolutely no sense to a sober person?
