now i see lotsa folks who are a disgrace to the name kennedy.

who do you want off the list?

---

I choose to eliminate Eugene Ormandy, solely for the reason that I don't know who he is.

---

betty! these are the kennedy center honors and we cannot have them sullied by continuing to list underserving honorees! it's a slap in the face to the kennedy name which stands for all that is good and right about america. retroactive elimination of those who besmirch the great tradition of kennedy dignity is the only way to right these horrible wrongs that have been perpetrated upon the american people.

"I choose to eliminate Eugene Ormandy, solely for the reason that I don't know who he is."

Elimination? What do you think this is...Messageboard Celebrity of the Day? No can do, mister!

damn you somms! it's been over 37 years! when will you people let uncle ted alone? geez, abandon one girl to drown and people just never let you forget it. it's a good thing the senate doesn't function like the dark heart of broadwayworld. shame on your somms.

---

Yay for Comden and Green! I wasn't aware they were honored. What a pair of fricking cuties they are.

---

Let's play Spot the Homos. Is there a year a Homosexual wasn't honored? What year had the most?

---

Sueleen, how do you tell a homo from a Kennedy Center roster?

---

So that's your vote for rescindment, bway?

---

Where's your Sar-Dar today?

---

Oh, and Elphapug is wearing that one today.

---

It's all politics!!!!

---

Wow, Calvin. And after I begged to see your abs.
