These days, Broadway sensation Lea Michele will be ignoring Jessica Lange on the red carpet.

Actually, I would have had a hard time not saying things I would regret later. Good for them for showing the restraint needed.

In any traditional society, McConnell and McCarthy would be publicly shunned and shamed at every turn. They should be treated as pariahs.

Snubbing them was a much kinder response than what I would have said.

Good for them. Why shake hands with these sniveling cowards who couldn’t be bothered to do or say the right thing after you just risked your life to save them?

Kick those two in the nuts? It's more like grab them in the pussy.

They have backbone.
Those politicians do not deserve their reflected glory.
