I thought this was America... free speech for everyone, right?

WRONG.

Setting: The Academy Awards.

Steve Martin can make sexist and slightly homo-phobic/erotic remarks and jokes... no one bats an eye. He's a the host, and a comedian so, he's allowed to take things to levels that some would find to be in bad taste. (I certainly did. Most of his banter was pathetic.)

The guys who won for best sound get to prattle on about how their wives really helped them through the hardships of sound effects for Lilo and Stitch.

Michael Moore, a man who's known for his mouth, his strong opinons, and by far a funnier man than Steve Martin anyday--gets boo-ed for not falling in line with Bush. For once, the Academy gets it right, and Hollywood, gets it all wrong.
