At some point(s) tonight, the liberal Hollywood communists will say or do something that makes the wingers foam at the mouth. I don’t know what it will be, there’s so many possibilities, and I’m not as adept with winger hermeneutics as I used to be.
If I’m Rick Santorum (sorry for the Grudenese, but there’s no off-season anymore), I’m thinking about turning Michelle Williams’ Palestinian scarf or Viola Davis’s terror fist pump or whatever into a Two Minutes Hate fund-raising, attention-getting opportunity. Use this an open thread to comment on the Oscar moments that might get the right riled up (remember, it could just as easily happen on the red carpet as during the awards ceremony itself).
Update. Here’s the mistake I think Republican candidates make: they wait for Rush or Drudge to find something crazy to yell about, then they fall in behind them and yell about it too. They should be more pro-active, have a staff that finds crazy stuff to scream about, and get out in front of the Two Minutes Hate. Sarah Palin is good about this, “death panels” was a big hit for her. Why don’t the presidential candidates take more fliers on things like that? When it pans out, it can be political gold.
Update. I just tuned in. Why is Billy Crystal dressed as a matador?
