There was an article some Freeper posted last year ago talking about this very thing, how just about every award today has been commandeered by the left and is now used exclusively to further their agenda......which is exactly what is going on here.

I heard Carol Burnett was really ticked off about this because Tina Fey, Whoopi Goldberg, Ellen Degeneres, probably three of the worst comedians in the history of comedy, were all given the Mark Twain prize for humor well before she was (she is finally getting it this year). She wasn't ticked off because she thinks she's better than them (even though she is) but because of how the left is using these awards to further their BS politics. Tina Fey was given hers immediately after her pathetic Sarah Palin imitation in a pathetic attempt to patronize the masses "Oh look how funny this is! Isn't Sarah Palin an idiot!" So to me, these awards are meaningless to me. F them all to hell, every last one of them.

Skimming through the list of all recipients I noticed how Republicans didn’t award on a strictly partisan basis. Democrats? It’s about their agenda and heroism for their causes.

I could not have said that any better....good post especially the conclusion.

I stopped watching all “pat-me-on-the-back” shows about 30 years ago.
