I agree with Alamo. There should have been longer tributes to those who passed instead of watching Babs burble away. Complete failure and sensibility on behalf of the producers.
Also didn't care for the First Lady's appearance. Guess George Clooney got payback for all the stumping he did for her husband. It also makes me think that someone may have leaked the winner to set up the communications.
By the by, after looking at my predictions I understand why I don't bet on horse races.
We deal in lead, friend.
