Hey.... It's okay to politicize the Oscars...

As long as you do it the way Ben Stein wants you to do it... What a loser and idiot!

Ben Stein says the people who truly were snubbed on Oscar night weren't those who didn't win, but were the American military personnel serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Speaking Thursday at a Kent County Republican Party fundraising dinner, the conservative humorist, writer and political pundit said movie stars and film industry professionals failed to highlight the sacrifices of soldiers during the Academy Awards on March 5.

"Not one prayer or moment of silence for those who have given their lives," said Stein, who also has acted ("Ferris Bueller's Day Off") and hosted a game show ("Win Ben Stein's Money"). "And they complain about (falling box office numbers). Stop spitting in the face of Americans and maybe we will go to the movies."

Hey Ben, here's a bit of advice for ya... The Oscars are an entertainment show, based on honoring ENTERTAINERS, some of whom support the war, some of whom don't. Get the fuck over yourself, or go apply for a speechwriting job on Pennsylvania Avenue.
