OK this is confusing me. They made a big deal about using the word “bitch” and I guess they decided not to, cause they changed the line to “…a whole lot of _witches_ talking shit” Didn’t they kind of miss the [point](http://www.erenkrantz.com/Humor/SevenDirtyWords.shtml)? Huh. It just won. Awesome. Intersting camera angle – I wonder if they are wearing something bizarre. ---

He was right, though–they were so happy to be up there! Them and the Penguin guys (they don’t count, French). I’m loving Steven Colbert’s narration of the Swift-Boat parodies. ---

Not anymore, she had her son a couple of months ago. But–just like an ordinary woman–she hasn’t taken off all the weight yet. Aha, the ever-popular ‘Bring Out Yer Dead’ montage! ---

I can’t believe Shelley Winters didn’t get more applause, or that there wasn’t a standing ovation. ---

Sounded to me like “Mr Myiagi” got the most applause. Also, seems people like Don Knotts and Dennis Weaver were too late in their deaths to be inlcuded. ---
