Subject: Grammer's still a midget
Message-Id: <[removed]@[removed]>

Since I am undoubtedly one of those labelled by Kathy O'Connell as "less
tolerant" I think a few words of self defense are called for. In the first
place, just because I prefer older entertainment media does not mean I don't
"recognize and accept that taste is an individual thing." I mean how else do
you account for Roseanne Barr?

And please, don't feel "sad" about my alledged "longing for the past". But I
would appreciate if you would point out exactly when I "longed for the past".
What I did do is express my opinion of two comedians. I still stand by my
original contention, compared to Jack Benny, Kelsey Grammer is a midget. A
pale imitation if you prefer. But that's a common failing in TV and films
today, screens overrun by midgets. And if you don't want to believe that,
kindly name today's equivalent of, oh, say Spencer Tracy and Bette Davis.

This whole discussion has grown way beyond what I posted originally. I only
stated it pained me to see a tribute to a giant hosted by a midget. Since
then it seems to be growing into a battle of the eras. I don't intened to
go into that now. But I will if provoked.

Not many people today may be aware of the background of this joke.  Henry 
Ford was an extremely vocal anti-semite for some time.  Eventually, he 
either saw the light or saw the harm it was doing to his sales.  In any 
event, he had a meeting with Justice Brandeis and proclaimed publically 
that he had been wrong and apologized for his previous activities.  
Nevertheless, to this day, there are Jews who refuse to buy any Ford 
products.
