Assholes rarely win



It doesn't bother me that much that Kiefer Sutherland won the Emmy for best lead in a drama series. What DOES bother me is that I actually spent the time watching the fucking Emmy's to SEE Kiefer Sutherland win.

Now I'm not a fan of 24...but I understand that with hype come accolades. So Kiefer, congratulations, Jack Bauer is a total nut job. But for my money, you ain't shit compared to Denis Leary.

For the record, Rescue Me is by far the better show with much clever writing. Plus, Denis Leary writes for it, acts in it, and produces it.

Then again, now I can understand why Leary sat next to Kiefer during his roast on Comedy Central. As Colin Quinn put it nicely, "Dont sit with your real friends Denis, sit with Kiefer." Or something like that.

I can already see who introduced Leary to Fox, but that person shall remain nameless. It's now what you know but who you know. So it makes sense, with TV politics and all, that Sutherland would win.

That's my idea for a t-shirt: Sit with Kiefer.

Perhaps next time Denis. I voted for ya.

And for the record, fuck this year's Emmy's. The only good thing that came out of the tiresome ordeal was Stephen Colbert belting out, "I LOST TO BARRY MANILOW!"

Priceless.

Those who remember, Denis Leary was the one who said "I want to have a Barry Manilow skull keg party at my apartment."

No wonder he lost too.

Sit with Barry Manilow.
