23. Mari, Bless Ya, But...
This is a matter of degrees here. For these people...ego-heads that they be...this is the night their careers, their lives can be made or broken. Principles are important, but not in proportion to what this event is really about.

I might be one of the few embarassed by excessive political displays at what are supposed to be non-political events...be it the Oscars or the Super Bowl. These are supposed to be entertainment, diversion. Look at all the crap we took last year for Moore's outburst. No matter how I (and I'll assume you)agreed with the message, the media slamming and outrage (especially at that particular time) was a torent and it took months for Moore and many of us to get our footings again.

We're starting to get to the point where people know the election is ahead and what's at stake...getting them to find the facts and truth are more important than making statements that can be easily twisted as yet another diversion attack by this regime.
