I watched the Academy Awards for 20 minutes last Sunday night. The very first guy I saw who whimpered and complained like an epicene was the unendurable Bill Maher.

Maher reminded everyone to watch out for his upcoming movie in 2008, the one about religion, and he went straight downward from there. He has not realized that his movie was a flunk and that nobody went to see his movie. Even people in Hollywood like him didn’t bother to see his movie. One, they don’t want to be on Maher’s show, and secondly they don’t want to give him money. He’s not really an actor you get fond of, even his fellows in show business don’t like him.

Then a few minutes later Harvery came on. No, I’m not talking about Jimmy Stewart’s Harvey, but the Harvey for the new millenium, Harvey Milk, the gay city councilman from San Francisco, embodied by the one and only Sean Penn, friend to Castro, Hugo Chavez and every other leftist nutbag in existence.

Sean Penn came up and went to the microphone and made his acceptance speech. “Hello, all you leftist, social democrats, communist and homo loving…” That was really funny, and in my limited viewing of things like this, it was certainly funnier than anything I have heard or seen from him. He might not know what he’s talking about, but ain’t ashamed of what’s coming out from his mouth.

But it was really odd that in Penn’s acceptance speech, he didn’t even thank his wife, who was also an Academy member, and a skilled actress too in her own right. She was just there right up front yet Penn forgot to thank her. She looked beautiful and did some pretty fine acting on hiding feelings for being insulted by her own husband.

His few minutes on stage delivering his speech has already told us more about him than all his gibberish on politics combined. I agree he is a fine and talented actor but in reality, he’s one selfish wacky man who doesn’t weigh his priorities in the appropriate directions.

I’m certain that the wife told him privately what he could do with that golden statue award.

If she needs something stronger, like some pepper spray or a stun gun, she can call me.
