I got active in the Republican Party during Einsenhower's second term, while I was in high school. A lot of Republican officials I worked with in Washington in those days were still talking about McCarthy. Many felt as you do, that it was better for Eisenhower to let McCarthy self-destruct, as he eventuall did. Many others, including a lot of people I greatly respected, felt that Eisenhower's decision to let McCarthy run wild until be became so absurd he self-destructed gave rise to the fear of "McCarthyism" that hampered and restrained legitimate and rationale anti-communist efforts. raj, #89, you make a good point on Eisenhower’s strategy in dealing with McCarthy, and I won’t argue with it.

Socialists like George Clooney, on the other hand, do presume to tell other people how they ought to be happy to have the state redistribute their income in the name of social inequality. Therefore, it's fair to ask whether they walk the walk or just talk the talk. #104 — Actually, Extermination Boy, I really couldn’t give a crap how other people spend their money, nor would I presume to tell them how to do so.

The Academy went in a different direction this time. - I'm glad they weren't political, but their choices for awards were very timid. Crash is just a TV-movie of the week, at best. Witherspoon was miscast in her role and she won because she's Reese Witherspoon. Hoffman was adequate but not much else. Clooney didn't deserve to win - I hate when they give someone an award as a consolation prize. Crash won because they don't want to acknowledge any film that shows gays as anything beyond murderers, psychopaths, bad jokes, or AIDS victims. The irony is that some people on other sites are claiming that BBM is less popular than Crash and Crash is the real financial success, but BBM actually made more money at the box office than Crash.
