I think the reader comments miss the point, either unintentionally or intentionally, which was that Stein would have had a field day no matter what the Oscar show did.

I kinda liked Comment #13.... "Ben Stein says the people who were snubbed on Oscar night weren't the stars who were passed over for Academy Awards, but American troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. The conservative humorist, writer and political pundit said movie stars and film industry professionals failed to highlight the sacrifices of soldiers during the awards ceremony on March 5. "Not one prayer or moment of silence for those who have given their lives," Stein said, speaking Thursday at a Republican Party fundraising dinner." -- Associated Press, Sat.

The Rocchi Report: An Open Letter to Ben Stein Posted Mar 24th 2006 8:00PM by James Rocchi see Lane 3's article, 888888888888888 then see the comments on Rocchi's post, including this one... 13. Yeah, how dare he want, at an event seen by hundreds of millions of people, a whole 30 seconds directed towards the troops. Why they might have to cut out a commercial or God forbid some snarky little bit put out by Stewart. But having Hollywood say something positive at that time about the troops,when movie after movie doesn't do anything but slam the war might be a bit odd. Yes, the night is for the Michael Moores, Richard Belzers, and George Clooneys of the world. Perhaps they could sober up Charlie Sheen for a few minutes and let him ponder how the whole September 11th thing looked to him as fake. Yeah, that would be good television.
