How can it be possible that the rightwing is in a perpetual state of outrage? Seems unhealthy.

Oh wow. I fell asleep early and missed the last half. Some serious faux-rage going on there.

Anyone outraged by this is a sorry human being. Left, right, or certifiable batshit. nt

No outrage.
But then liberals don't engage in faux outrage.

(45,488 posts)9. Didn't Reagan appear at the Oscars as President too?

(45,488 posts)17. I know. I also don't care. Presidents and their wives appear at many functions.
The Academy Awards are no different than other big splashy events. There shouldn't be a drop of outrage either from Fox News idjits or the bash-Obama crowd here on Du.

Gave the award from a remote location (any location not on the stage)

(27,985 posts)25. So, I'm supposed to care that the FLOTUS was on the Oscars, why?
She looked great but so do most of the attendees. What am I missing?
Caveat, I couldn't give two tweets about the Oscars, don't now, never have. I am wondering how this became an issue, it's such a non starter for me.
