I was one of those grassroots Facebook campaigners responsible for Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live the other night, so for that, let me just say: "You're very welcome!" I thought she was fantastic, better even than I had expected she might be, and by most accounts her coming on the show was a huge success. Except for some, who apparently had more eternal concerns weighing on their minds, precluding enjoying it so much. Like Jose, who while conceding that Betty White is legend "in this day and age of rebels and rockers" (I really don't know what that means, but it seems to be a good thing), is more concerned about her afterlife appearance instead, presumably being so old as she is. A legend, sure ... "However, I think Betty really needs to start taking her relationship with God serious. Betty can't please this new generation, she has nothing to prove to them. Her relationship with the Lord is what she needs to take serious." Well, all...
*hee hee* "Ditto." :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it is absolutely hilarious that with our nation in the shape it is in 6,000 of the blind faithful could still muster the enthusiasm to show up to hear McBush. (I betcha Palin would have drawn a larger crowd - she's a lot easier on the eyes and much more charming to boot.) Can it be more clear that Americans are ready to try something different now?
ReplyDeleteUsually crowds scare me because of the sea of white faces. Or if the crowd is in China, the sea of Chinese faces. Or if the crowd is in Mexico, the sea of Mexican faces.
ReplyDeleteThere is something unsettling about seeing people who all look alike and think alike in one area.
And then we have the Obama rallies. Wow. A sea of different faces and different philosophies (Democrats and Republicans) who share a common goal: restoring America.
It doesn't get any more beautiful.
Doug - I betcha you're right about the Palin factor. Seems to be his only draw these days, although even she seems to be as of late helping to tighten his noose mostly.
ReplyDeleteFan - Yeppers, we have quite a mix around here, which is a beautiful thing, I agree. Missouri is apparently a swing state and usually goes red, but at least here in my county we're blue through and through and very diverse.
