Billy Crystal is a has-been never-been that wasn't even funny.

The last I checked the only one running for President that admitted being a crackhead is Obama himself.

Crytal is a hack comic and most of his movies suck.

Precisely why I haven`t watched any awards show like that in many years. And it`s also why I don`t give two sh*ts about whether celebs live or die. They mean exactly nothing to me.

‘Dark Knight,

Assume Newt

an American Psycho

Assume Paul

and a Charismatic Crack Addict’

know this must be Obama.

A by-partisan joke at the Oscars? wow.

I thought his only good line was at the beginning of the show when he said watching a bunch of millionaires accept gold-plated statues was just what Americans wanted to watch....Should have added “liberal” millionaires to the joke.

I cannot figure out why Crystal and the other Zer0-istas wish to be enslaved to a big, arrogant oppressive government.

Can't these pea-brains realize that they will be as ensnared as us peasants??..

..maybe even more since they will be high profile, thus attracting the attention of the head cutters...

Pretty clear he messed up on his party affiliation, he meant the Democrat Obama.

“Dark Knight”, “American Psycho” and “Crack Addict”?

It's Obama.

He’s clearly talking about Mitt Romney, Ron Paul & Barrack Obama.

He is like George Soros and see’s little difference.

The last I checked the only one running for President that admitted being a crackhead is Obama himself.

Admitted, yes. But... oh them Kennedy's. Pumped up on amphetamines to 'help' them keep us with a hectic schedule.

That tweeker took us to the moon...... literally.

meh...I saw it - mountain out of a molehill... - standard schtick that could have come from a Johnny Carson monologue or ‘Carnac’ routine.
He took a lot more jabs at the famous & wealthy in Beverly Hills.
