I'm with Ross on Sarah Silverman. I like her actual act, but her award show schtick -- at least as directed against the easy targets of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton -- has been deeply cruel. It's fun watching the powerful get skewered, which is what Silverman's act does: It skewers the blithe self-absorption of the privileged. Watching the pathetic get publicly humiliated is substantially less enjoyable.
I may, of course, simply be helping this backlash along so I have one less competitor in my quest to succeed Alan Dershowitz as Spokesperson For The Jews.
