CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 12, 2024
I GENERALLY AVOID WATCHING AWARD SHOWS ON TV. THEY HAVE BECOME PLATFORMS FOR LIBERALS AWARDING LIBERALS, AS WELL AS TRASH TALK AND DENUNCIATIONS OF REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES.
WHILE I CONTINUED THIS TREND AND DIDN’T WATCH THE OSCARS SUNDAY NIGHT, PRESS REPORTS OF THE OVER-HYPED CEREMONY CONFIRMED MY POINT OF VIEW.
JIMMY KIMMEL BOMBED SAID ONE HEADLINE. A NAKED MAN PARADED ACROSS THE STAGE WITH A PIECE OF PAPER THAT COVERED ONLY HIS PRIVATE PARTS. THERE WERE JOKES ABOUT ROBERT DOWNEY JUNIOR’S PAST ABUSE OF DRUGS (BUT NOTHING ABOUT HUNTER BIDEN’S DRUG USE).
PRO-HAMAS AND ANTI-ISRAEL DEMONSTRATORS DELAYED THE START OF THE EVENT AND CELEBRITIES HAD TO WALK INSTEAD OF USING LIMOS TO GET TO THE FRONT DOOR OF THE THEATER. OH THE SHAME! THE DEGRADATION!
AND OF COURSE THERE WAS THE PREDICTABLE SWIPE AT DONALD TRUMP. JIMMY KIMMEL WONDERED IF THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND CURRENT CANDIDATE HAD NOT EXCEEDED HIS “JAIL TIME.”
OH FOR THE DAYS OF BOB HOPE, JOHNNY CARSON AND BILLY CRYSTAL, WHO WERE GENUINELY FUNNY AND MOSTLY STAYED OUT OF POLITICS. LIKE SO MANY OTHER THINGS, THOSE DAYS ARE LIKELY GONE FOREVER. AND THEY WONDER WHY THE RATINGS ARE SO LOW. I’M CAL THOMAS.
