the pervert and his wife will not be attending the ceremony....GREAT!! and it would be humiliating for them as most actors hate him...In addition the Committee on the Arts and Humanities ALL resigned last Friday.!
(CNN) Perhaps you heard that the remaining 16 members of the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities resigned in protest Friday. Actor Kal Penn, a member of the group, shared the resignation letter on Twitter -- a sharp rebuke of the President's response to white nationalist rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which Trump blamed people on "all sides" for the deadly violence and rejected calls to remove divisive Confederate monuments."We cannot sit idly by, the way that your West Wing advisors have, without speaking out against your words and actions," the letter said. "Ignoring your hateful rhetoric would have made us complicit in your words and actions."

The announcement comes as three of the five honorees — television producer Norman Lear, singer Lionel Richie and dancer Carmen de Lavallade — said they would boycott the traditional White House reception related to the celebration.As for the other two, rapper LL Cool J has not said whether he would attend, and Cuban American singer Gloria Estefan said she would go to try to influence the president on immigration issues.
So now that the pervert and his wife aren't going to be there...We can all relax and enjoy the show...yay!!!!

It would have been awful to have to watch him...oh the Obama memories, where all the performers were thrilled by the honor and so appreciative of him.

GREAT! They will NOT be missed. Now I can look forward to watching the show the day after Christmas. It's some of the best tv entertainment.
