WOW!
They left out Osama for “Death to America: Thoughts On Extinguishing the American Dream.”
Need a lot of carbon credits to off set all of that hot air.
So Ahmahdinejad (?) didn’t have an album, huh?
Where’s Chevez’ props?
Talk about your coincidences. I head on ver to Hot Air and notice a headline from the CSMonitor, I check it out and read the following: Ahmadinejad: rock star in rural Iran
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
All from the far left? I know Alda played a conservative Presidential candidate. How come no lullabys the goracle?
I was just reading how Amy Winehouse was nominated for a Grammy. If Kate Moss made one of the most interesting people this past year, you know the state of the world is pathetic. Everything is a bad joke. The media is biased and the performers at best mediocre. I hope this show gets extremely low ratings. The music stinks, this list here stinks, and people’s tastes stink. There is no taste anymore, it is the age of below par mediocrity and obvious bias.
I think you forgot to tell people to get off your lawn.
I think the Grammy’s are stupid.
Poor Alan Alda.
Double ZZZzzzzzzzzz with a cherry on top.
Man, talk about a new way to glorify mediocrity!
I sorta like Alan Alda.
He bends, therefore he’s funny.
Sometimes you have to feel sorry for people in the comedy business. How can they possibly parody this?
Holy mackarel! Amy Winehouse (most appropriate last name EVER) is overrated. I may have to punch someone if I hear that stupid Rehab song again.
Ever since The Dixie Chicks swept the Grammies for their “George Bush Sucks” CD, I knew my taste in music was out of sync. Britney Spears also has a Grammy - I guess that show the “artistic” integrity of this awards show.
Yeah, this list is an absurdly obvious collection of ulta-left-wing names which could only be cobbled together by people so biased as to be positively prejudiced against anyone or anything remotely politically center of the road. ONLY THESE PEOPLE ARE GOOD ENOUGH SPEAKERS TO BE NOMINATED. Uh huh. Sure. Right.
I remember when I was a kid and the Oscars and Emmys and grammys were good, non-political family entertainment shows which brought the country together in a spirit of artistic competition and fun entertainment. Like everything else they touch, the ulta-left ideologues destroyed it in their quest to force the world to believe the way they do. What’s most infuriating is that they’re so holier-than-thou (no pun intended since most are secularists) that they don’t care what they destroy to force their maniacal socio-political obsessions onto the world, and as a consequence so much has been left in the stinking waste-dump of ruined pop culture. Innocent children’s programming, a clean day at the movies with kids, pop music - you can’t even have a church service or bury a loved one without brainwashed, mentally sick robosocialists waking in dressed in costumes specifically designed to cause enormous amounts of emotional distress and try to create memories as angry and sick as their own world views.
The only way to stop them is to mock them. The only thing they can’t stand - being horrendous cases of obnoxious arrested development - is to make they look stupid in the playpen. I wish there was a way to make them stop in a serious way, but that’s the kind of serious attention these losers crave.
How many liberals does it take to compile a list of spoken word Grammy nominations? Ten. Nine to hang out all day to think it up and one to call a school teacher to write it down for them.
No contest!!!! It’s a tie! ZZZZZZZZZZ
Geez, the Ron Paul fanatics will go ballistic when they see he didn’t make the list.
Goracle, I didn’t invent Global Warming but I will exploit melting ice.
BLOWhard did you say BLOWhard…
Looks like Inhale hard to me…
That list is a joke, right?
My public library (New Britain, CT) has 3 or 4 copies of Al Gore’s book. This from a library that is not rich. It also has every liberal book against the war and every DVD that’s been made against the war. I’ve also noticed in the last 2 years they have expanded their book collection on Islam even though the community is mostly Polish and Puerto Rican.
And the Grammy for biggest political blowhard goes to: It’s a tie! They all suck.
I’d like to see a list of things like this. If I mention something to the effect of “Libraries have a liberal bias” to someone, they ask me to prove it.
I see examples like this just about every day. I’m pretty much convinced at the bias and prejudices exist in many American institutions. This is as unfair and unbalanced as a conservative bias in another institution. Liberals will often disparage AM radio for it’s conservative slant, but I see something like the library example (and NPR as well as other media) as not a product of the marketplace dictating what the majority wants … as much as the bias of the individuals.
Oh, and this list from the Grammys …… wow. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at this kind of news.
No.
This is so funny. If I cared about the Grammy’s this wouldn’t be funny. But I don’t, so it is.
That reminds me…I got a Christmas card from Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter yesterday that also sought donations so they could continue with their works in these “trying times”. I have no idea how they got my address, other than maybe through the IAFF and their support for Dodd and his support for abandoning the troops and surrenduring in Iraq. Way to go Harold Schaitburger. Picked another winner in opposition to te membership.
Anyway, let me tell you, they are going to get a donation…just not the kind of donation that they were expecting. This donation will come in the form of a letter thanking him for all he has done to help us to make the Middle East what it is today, mainly Iran outward, and to ask them to please, never, ever mail anything to y house again.
Now, I soulf be getting my White House Christmas Card any day.
There are so many “awards” one can’t keep up with them all. It’s nothing more than a show to pat each other on the back. “Hi, here’s an award.” “Why, thank you, and here’s an award for you too.” “Ah, thanks!” The more liberal you are, the more “awards” you get. I’m still trying to figure out how Gore qualified for the “peace” prize. With all the private jets, limos, lights, and such, how many carbon credits is this going to cost?
Michelle, Pleeease don’t tell me these are reading assignments. It’s Christmas, I don’t have the money and the audio won’t get past the BS flusher in my sound system.
I have a hard time believing the members of the nominating committee actually listened/read this tripe. Anybody that had to sit through that entire list would not live to tell about it! Maybe we can use this as an interrogation technique.
We quit watching any self serving entertainment cartel awards shows a couple of years ago and the only thing we have missed is the BDS rants of the presenters and winners. Another one of those who cares moments, going back to sleep ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Liberalwood, and their overhiped award shows, grammys and academys, have not been watched in my house just because of the blatant “WE ARE SO WONDERFUL, WE LOVE OURSELVES SO MUCH AND WE ARE SO WORTHY” was more than i could handle. i think about 15-20 years ago?
Popularity contests have never been my cup of tea.
BWAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAA
* wipes tears from eyes
I am sorry but if that didn’t make you laugh, your wood is wet. Have you ever checked the Clinton’s charitable giving on their tax returns?
The only thing a Clinton gives is more of my money.
Hey, if you can’t actually give, at least read a book that may make you say some phrases that make it sound like you give.
P.S. leave out world alone!
I fixed it for the Grammy nominating committtee.
It’s hard to believe that this is even a category. Does anyone even buy that garbage, or do you have download it at Dkos?
They probably consider that lineup to be politically balanced, with Carter being the right-winger.
Liberal bias! There’s no liberal bias…
Move.On
*snort*
so glad I did not have a hot cup of coffee in my hand just now
All,
The people from the Boriken Center of East Harlem, Health Center, were on Imus in the Morning today. They are trying to raise money for the new health center. Here’s the thing we have a former President, that put his offices in Harlem and Al Sharpton runs NAN out of Harlem. This center contacted Deidra Imus, last February for help, to raise the money, they need for a community hospital, that serves a working class basically poor community. (Harlem has some of the highest rates of asthma in the country) Imus promoted their cause this morning and gave them a check for 250,000.00 to kick off the fund raising. Now I want to know with a former President and a supposed champion of African Americans’ Rite Rev Al Sharpton…how come this Boriken Org has to go into Manhattan to get some coverage and some help? How come Mr Bill, has not brought up this cause in the MSM, we all know they are all willing to stick a Mic in front of his face, and let him spout any talking points he wants, after all his offices are in Harlem!
Laura Inghram was also on today, Imus in the Morning, I am warming up to Laura SMILE. The hypocrisy of the Democrats champion poor people, and disadvantaged people is ringing so hollow. Where are they? When people with real needs, are not being addressed? http://www.boriken.org The East Harlem Health Center, has been trying to raise this money for their hospital for sometime…has anyone heard of Al Sharpton,former President Bill Clinton his wife the Junior Senator from New York any high profile Democrats from New York, mention this cause? I have not, until this Week because Imus is back on and broadcasting out of NYC. Still they will pat each other on the back and give each other awards!
I see they’re also going to televise the ‘Schmoozefest’ for Julia Roberts. Talk about an ego trip.
It was one thing when they were schmoozing the directors and fans, now they’re schmoozing each other!
BTW, Schmoozing is not a dirty word, just a disgusting one.
I forgot to mention when Laura Ingraham was on Imus in the Morning today, she said, I am so glad you are at a real radio station 77WABC..I hear they are still cleaning the mold out of WFAN- (CBS) everytime I would come to see you over there, I wanted to put on one of those enviormental suits Big Grin. The Imuss are serious about being Green. This might be why Imus’s health has improved so much over the summer. I think Laura is going to be a regular on the show. I hope Michelle thinks about going on the new show. I brought up WFAN is CBS station because doesn’t CBS promote the Goracle’s Global Warming rhetoric? Yeah slap him on the back give em all awards.
I also quit watching any hollywood awards shows years ago. My g/f turned on the Grammy’s top 100 moments or some such thing last weekend and if that was the best, wow how badly the worst must utterly suck.
Wow. A Grammy Nom, eh?
I had no idea that donating your old, worn out underwear to charity could have such a lasting, positive effect on mankind.
Does anyone remember the Academy Awards when Brando had an Indian girl accept the award to make a speech? Talk about the “boos”! Nowadays, she would receive a standing ovation and numerous interviews on MSM. I used to like the Awards, now I ignore them…all of them.
…& the MainStream ‘Industries’ keep wondering where everybody went as they cling to their warhorses & faux-generated fanbase. May their #s continue to crash,their movies continue to bomb,their great literary works go un-noticed as the ‘INDIES’ wipe the floor w/ them & Creative History truly corrects itself.
Git the Fork Boyz…this turkey is done!
I think I just threw up in my mouth…
Ezra Klein just challenged each of them to a public debate.
