 i loved chris rock's monologue last night. rock himself was the only reason i even changed the channel from qvc to watch the oscars. I expected him to be edgy, cuz he always has been. i expect him to take shots at somebody, cuz he always does. but above all, no matter who he went after, he would get everyone in the room to laugh. hysterically. now while charlton heston and pdiddy might not hold hands and drink cristal together after the show, if he got a smile outta dirty harry clint eastwood himself, he did a good job. a snippet for the less fortunate:
A lot of people like to bash Bush. I'm not gonna bash Bush here tonight. I saw 'Fahrenheit 9/11', I think Bush is a genius. I thought Bush did some things this year nobody in this room could do. Nobody in this room could pull off.
Bush basically reapplied for his job this year. Now can you imagine applying for a job, and while you're applying for that job, there is a movie in every theater in the country that shows how much you suck at that job?" (Laughter)
I'd be hard to get hired wouldn't it?
Now I watched Fahrenheit, I learned some stuff man. Bush did some things you could never get away with at your job, man. Never, ever, ever.
You know, when Bush got into office he had a surplus of money. Now there's like a $70 trillion dollar deficit. Now, just imagine you worked at the Gap.(Laughter)
You're closing out your register, and there's $70 trillion dollars short. (Laughter)
The average person would get in trouble for something like that, right? (Laughter) Not Bush, no. (Laughter-Applause)
Then he started a war, that's cool, support the troops, he started a war. Now just imagine you worked at the Gap.(Laughter)
You're $70 trillion behind on your register, and then you start a war with the Banana Republic...(Laughter) 'cause you say they got toxic tank-tops over there.(Laughter)
You have the war. People are dying. A thousand Gap employees dead, that's right, bleeding all over the khakis.(Laughter)
You finally take over Banana Republic and you find out, they never made tank-tops in the first place.(Laughter-Applause)
dishing out criticism while making everyone laugh? now thats genius.
in my book, chris rocks.
