Well of course. Even though that Regan comment had nothing to do with this hood rats temper tantrum.

That people actually give a flying flock what anyone in Hollywood thinks--or celebrities anywhere--is largely why this country is such a mess right now. We're so blinded by celebrity that we can't see past a person's popularity enough to judge character anymore. This is how you end up with someone in the oval office like Obama. People are such stooges for celebrity.

Chris Rock debunks the 2-party, false left-right paradigm - YouTube
Coming from the side of the political spectrum that thinks pie and glitter attacks are harmless, justified, and funny.

Who was uninvited? Who acted like a fool? Is asking a simple question "acting like a fool?"

No, I think it was entirely accurate. If I stuck a camera in Chris Rock's face, I'd fully expect him to toss it. And how this makes anyone a hypocrite is still not explained.

I see how it is, but it is perfectly acceptable, when someone like Rock shows his ignorance, Some can dish it out oh boy, but they can't take it.
I live far from the glitz and glamour of Hoyyweird. I do like visiting, but would not want to live there. It is fun dining there, and visiting certain boutiques.

I don't however pay attention to rants such as Rock, or any other celebrity, have my own mind, and no celebrity, or musician, or comic, would ever sway me.
So many celebrity hypocrites out there.

When did Chris Rock say it was ok to be a wimp and let party crashers invade your personal space? If he did say this, then he is a hypocrite.
