Martin, Baldwin to Host Oscars

We hope you weren’t looking forward to the song-and-dance routines. A year after Hugh Jackman’s ratings success, the Oscars have turned to two more-traditional hosts for March’s show: Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin. Martin previously hosted in 2001 and 2003, while Baldwin has never hosted. "I am happy to co-host the Oscars with my enemy Alec Baldwin," Martin said in a statement.

I would love to see Pelosi and Cheney host the Oscars!
With Alec they lose the conservative audience.

Haven't we had enough of that windbag Baldwin? He is like poopy-doopy--everywhere. You can't get away from that self-righteous, know-it-all pontificator. He and those disfunctional brothers Baldwin are everywhere, just that Alex is the worst. Why ruin the Academy Awards, which are too long and too full of hot air anyway, with that fool? Steve Martin is a great guy who is genuinely funny. Who needs Baldwin?

What's with you? Are the Baldwins following you around? Peeping in your windows? Get a grip. The boob tube does have an off switch if you don't like it.

Does anyone still watch the Oscars?

No.
According to the Peanut Gallery: My pals and I will be burning Skipper dolls in effigy, swilling Shiner Bock, listening to Blue Oyster Cult's entire catalog and off loading 30k lbs. of cod we will have just hauled in.
Actually, that sounds like a good time. I'll red pencil that into the vessel's "ahead" log.
We'll all try not to commit any crimes against the English language.

Who is Alec Baldwin???

Alec is to conservatives as O'riley is to liberals.
Penn is to conservatives as Beck is to liberals.
Moore is to conservatives as Rush is to liberals.
