What happened to "I paid admission to hear you

to be entertained, not to be enlightened as to your political point of view?" She, of course, can believe whatever she likes, but just as a football player would be booed for stopping the game and dedicating a goal, she deserved to be booed.
Besides, as an entertainer, she should know her audience. If she wanted to dedicate a song to Michael Moore, she could have done it at the Democratic Convention and received a standing ovation. At least she was tasteful, unlike a certain Ms. Goldberg's antics.
Now that doesn't excuse the
behavior of the guests who were upset, but I think we've all managed to agree that there are hooligans on both sides of the issues.
