If mothers ruled the world we’d all still be living in grass huts.

williars on September 17, 2007 at 12:32 AM
someone should’ve thrown her off the stage, forget using a cane
Defector01 on September 17, 2007 at 12:32 AM
Them flying nuns ain’t gonna like that.
“Don’t ya know Sally”
Texyank on September 17, 2007 at 12:34 AM
You don’t like me! You really don’t like me!
see-dubya on September 17, 2007 at 12:39 AM
So, is she counting the mothers like this one, who blew herself up and took four Israelis with her? Or these?
You know what? People who think that all the world’s problems would be solved if women ruled the world are full of crap.
And I say this as a woman and a feminist.
Meryl Yourish on September 17, 2007 at 12:40 AM
Knew a Sally who rode a Mustang. :)

williars on September 17, 2007 at 12:41 AM
That’s right! If we mothers ruled the world, Saddam would STILL be sitting in Time Out, thinking about what he’d done!
And we’d FORCE Iran to share its Wii with Israel, whether they liked it or not.
And we certainly would NOT have let Kim Jong Il go out looking like that.
aero on September 17, 2007 at 12:41 AM
She was channeling sybil there for a second, wasn’t she?
lorien1973 on September 17, 2007 at 12:43 AM
Seriously. Another three seconds of stammering and it would have qualified as a seizure.
Allahpundit on September 17, 2007 at 12:44 AM
G*****n you, Rupert Murdoch! All Sally was doing was trying to offer the progressive counterpoint to that war-glorifying, Bush-loving, neoconservative medley of talk show one-liners earlier in the broadcast.

Translated:
“Hi, I’m an addle-pated simple-minded moron, so let me lecture you on how you should do things I’m incapable of doing.”
So, in short, Hollywood.
Merovign on September 17, 2007 at 12:47 AM
Hard to believe that just as George Clooney once made a film in the 1990s calling upon America to finish the job in Iraq, Sally once made this film.
You really do get the feeling it’s all or nothing for the left to be onboard, even just a little, with the GWOT.
Ed Driscoll on September 17, 2007 at 12:50 AM
Thanks, AP, for watching the Emmys and bringing us the highlights.
I watched the Emmys once, I think it was in the ’70s. Never even occurs to me now.
jaime on September 17, 2007 at 12:51 AM
Is she still cute or am I getting old?
- The Cat
MirCat on September 17, 2007 at 12:52 AM
she’s still pretty cute. she doesnt look like she’s aged at all.
lorien1973 on September 17, 2007 at 12:54 AM
I like how she yells at the audience to shut up so she can be heard, then takes a big fat dump right on the stage. That pretty much sums up the whole looney left. Scream and yell, stomp your feet, pound your fists, hold your breath ’til you turn blue, and when you have everone’s attention… not one relevant intelligent thing to be said.
Way to go Sally. You sure told the world!
SilverStar830 on September 17, 2007 at 12:56 AM
Perhaps Sally should read up on that famous Chinese actress, Jiang Qing…
elgeneralisimo on September 17, 2007 at 12:57 AM
Yeah. She’s till cute in that ‘I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers’ sort of way.
SilverStar830 on September 17, 2007 at 12:59 AM
She sounded like she was reprising her role in ER as Abby’s bipolar mom.
JimC on September 17, 2007 at 1:02 AM
Yes, all mothers are the same. Peace loving. Like those mothers in the arab nations that send their children to be suicide bombers, or those mothers that kill their daughters for marrying a man from the wrong muslim clan.
Yes, all mothers are peace loving.
jihadwatcher on September 17, 2007 at 1:08 AM
At the orientation for my last job the HR person was going through the part of the employees manual when she skipped the part about office conflicts saying we don’t need to cover that because there aren’t many women in that office.
pedestrian on September 17, 2007 at 1:11 AM
Oh what she wouldn’t give for a lucid moment.
Yea we’re go’n for that one, just like we all know, women don’t have egos.
Speakup on September 17, 2007 at 1:12 AM

If the mothers ruled the world…we’d all have a Merry Christmas.
see-dubya on September 17, 2007 at 1:16 AM
Well, if mothers ruled the world in the way Sally meant (i.e. mothers wouldn’t send their own or other people’s children to die in wars, so there wouldn’t be any wars)–what would happen in reality is that a great many Western mothers would indeed keep their children from fighting. However, the Islamist moms around the world would be busily strapping bombs to their babies themselves and shoving them out the door to kill Jews and Americans. Result? We’d lose our culture and our lives. Miserably and quickly.
aero on September 17, 2007 at 1:17 AM
They didn’t censor her anti-war rant, they censored “God Damn It”. You can’t say that on network tv. But I bet the left wing blogs will say that Fox censored her for her anti-war comments anyways.
SoulGlo on September 17, 2007 at 1:21 AM
Obviously you guys aren’t watching the 720p HD broadbcast on a 46″ Samsung LCD TV that’s eight feet from your couch or you wouldn’t have considered the question.
ScottMcC on September 17, 2007 at 1:23 AM
I don’t agree with Sally, but wish they hadn’t cut away. Her mini-meltdown was more entertaining than the tedious parade of award recipients who thank their agents.
dedalus on September 17, 2007 at 1:26 AM
It sounded like she was saying she had a child fighting overseas (”and I am proud to be one of those mothers”). Is that true?
tikvah on September 17, 2007 at 1:34 AM
I don’t know about all mothers but if my mother was in charge I know quite a few world leaders would be nursing some welts from a hickory switch. Not to mention some stretched earlobes from being dragged to the woodshed. *shudders*
Guardian on September 17, 2007 at 1:49 AM
I thought liberals hated motherhood. You know, all that junk about it getting in the way of a career. And besides, a baby is just a clump of cells, right? Why should women be proud that they can produce a clump of cells? Hell, I blow my nose every day and don’t go ga-ga over my special ability.
Ohh, I get it. Motherhood is OK as long as it is used to justify the defeatist Left’s agenda. Gotcha.
VolMagic on September 17, 2007 at 1:55 AM
Sigh.
Another of the few Hollywood actresses left whom I respect(ed), bites the dust.
The funniest comment was Allah’s about the seizure!
JannyMae on September 17, 2007 at 2:01 AM
I didn’t think her comment was so bad. It’s was a nice, naive plea for sanity in a crazy world.
However, I would of loved to have schtupped Ms. Field about 10 years ago.
mylegsareswollen on September 17, 2007 at 2:09 AM
She sounded like her comment on the war was scripted by someone else and she forgot the words. Weird. Whatever. The Flying Nun is dead to me now.
Connie on September 17, 2007 at 2:17 AM
More like The Flying Nut.
Shy Guy on September 17, 2007 at 2:24 AM
She did get a bit shrill there, didn’t she?
I wish she hadn’t brought this up because now people will think they have to debate it. The people who should be running the world are the qualified people be they men or women. It’s not about being black or white enough either. It should be about is one human enough.
Sally is a good example of why I love the mute button and also why I don’t watch these shows, if and when they appear here in DK.
yggdrasil on September 17, 2007 at 2:24 AM
You like me, your really like me. You really really like me!
Still, even after all these years, I can still picture her in that nun’s outfit - me bad.
Wuptdo on September 17, 2007 at 2:29 AM
Ugh.
RightWinged on September 17, 2007 at 2:32 AM
I believe my mom would send a larger army than Bush would into several places in the world, and then fire all sorts of people when they screwed up.
askheaves on September 17, 2007 at 2:34 AM
WoW! Karl Rove melted her mind and she forgot her lines. That Karl can do anything.
Tim Burton on September 17, 2007 at 2:35 AM
When someone says if “Mothers/Women ruled the world there be no war” crap..do they not know anything of history?..Ms. Fields plenty of wars and other unpleasant things have happen on this planet with Women in charge.
mlong on September 17, 2007 at 2:37 AM
She was silenced for dropping the G-D bomb. Ray Romano got the similar treatment for a risque joke earlier in the show. I think there were also one or two other incidents. Seriously, if Fox was going to censor political comments, quite a few other moments would have been clipped.
TBDave on September 17, 2007 at 2:46 AM
I’d be very careful with her in the sack. She has soft bones ya’ know.
OBX Pete on September 17, 2007 at 4:00 AM
Hey Meryl Yourish! I just love her. You’ve got fans here honey. Thanks for your spots on Shire Net News.
Agrippa2k on September 17, 2007 at 4:07 AM
If my mother ruled the world, we’d be afraid of the Mr. Coffee coffee maker. “Oh, look out, honey! It might explode!”
laelaps on September 17, 2007 at 4:11 AM
Very disappointing.
I never figured her for a great mind, but never figured her for completely clueless either.
One more to add to the ‘no watch list’. Pretty soon, I’m only going to be able to watch John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, James Woods and (maybe) Bruce Willis movies.
LegendHasIt on September 17, 2007 at 5:14 AM
This is going to be tough to watch for Miss Teen South Carolina.
Shy Guy on September 17, 2007 at 5:57 AM
That made me laugh out loud. Thank you!
yggdrasil on September 17, 2007 at 6:05 AM
Is there a special ingredient in “Boniva” we don’t know about, hmm?
“If mothers ruled the world…!”
You mean mothers such as Cindy, Hillary, and Helen Thomas??!
Oy!
kiakjones on September 17, 2007 at 6:30 AM
I didn’t know she was an idiot. Too bad.
bopbottle on September 17, 2007 at 6:32 AM
I kind of agree with the idea that if women ruled the world, there’d be no wars. But would all the world’s problems be solved? Ah, hell no.
Broad brush here, but look at who women in the U.S. vote into power to represent them in the interim. There’d be no wars, no, and food and medicine and housing would fall from the sky.
saint kansas on September 17, 2007 at 6:46 AM
LOL
oldleprechaun on September 17, 2007 at 7:03 AM
God help us all if the mothers who rule the world have high school cheerleaders for daughters.
HeIsSailing on September 17, 2007 at 7:05 AM
I’ve seen moms send their kids into fight over parking spaces.
She hasn’t gone to black friday sales either i guess
coondawg on September 17, 2007 at 7:06 AM
So, Sally, if Islamic women ruled the Islamic world there would be no jihad, no suicide bombers and no intolerance of other religions…
is that it???
You might want to send a memo on that to the Palestinian mothers who glorify and approve of their suicide bomber sons (and occasionally daughters) who blow up Israeli schoolchildren in buses and pizza shops.
Always Right on September 17, 2007 at 7:11 AM
I believe that the Emmys and Oscars are at a point where they need to have the winners stand up, take a bow, then sit their sorry butts back down.
Helloyawl on September 17, 2007 at 7:14 AM
If women ruled the world, we’d be in a world war four days each month.
Texas Nick 77 on September 17, 2007 at 7:15 AM
Meryl’s words are cogent. They are also written in English. Sally Fields’ words were likewise in English. And if that woman who ruled England in 1588 had not understood that you HAVE to wage war against people who are trying to destroy you, probably about 95% of us posting here wouldn’t be fluent in English. God bless you for not being a pacisfist, Queen Elizabeth.
radjah shelduck on September 17, 2007 at 7:20 AM
No, but she plays one on TV. So, in her world, it’s real.
BacaDog on September 17, 2007 at 7:25 AM
And global warming would be cyclical
tomg51 on September 17, 2007 at 7:28 AM
She’s always been nuts, one of the little secrets that the Hollywood crowd keeps. Even back when she was
hotnot unattractive, she was as nutty as a fruitcake.Jaibones on September 17, 2007 at 7:32 AM
Heh
Jaibones on September 17, 2007 at 7:33 AM
Isn’t there a age limit on being a crackhead?
LtE126 on September 17, 2007 at 7:35 AM
Not to agree with “Sybil”, but I would’ve supported Maggie Thatcher or Jeane Kirkpatrick.
Comment on QE 1 also dead on.
oldleprechaun on September 17, 2007 at 7:39 AM
What’s her problem? Forrest went off to Vietnam, and came back just fine.
revolutionismyname on September 17, 2007 at 7:40 AM
When the Emmys came on I did my part for “global warming.”
I turned off the TV!
PaKeystoner on September 17, 2007 at 7:43 AM
Is she referring to the mother’s who explode themselves or to the mothers who raise their children to be suicide bombers? Or the mothers who encourage their children to spew Jew-hatred on Hamas TV? Or the mothers in Europe who order their own daughters murdered because they dared to date a non-Muslim? Or the mothers who let themselves and their children be used in Hezbullah propaganda photos last summer? Or maybe the mothers who were part of the terror group that stormed the theater in Moscow a few years back? Or perhaps she means the mothers who hold their daughters down during female genital mutilation?
She, like many in the audience for these silly “awards”, is an irredeemable idiot. Go back to you play-acting Sally. Leave the grow-ups alone for a while. We’re busy.
Thomas the Wraith on September 17, 2007 at 7:48 AM
People who make movies, or TV shows or who write books have got to realize that not everyone lives in their own little hermetically sealed world. I can’t STAND to be preached at!! Stuart Woods lost me forever as a reader when he turned Two Dollar Bill into a rant and rave against conservatives. I quit watching TV because they trash the values I hold dear. I don’t watch a lot of movies for the same reason. And I quit watching awards shows long ago when I realized how bored I was watching people who can’t say “Hello” without a script.
Ellen on September 17, 2007 at 7:53 AM
If mothers ruled the world the only thing that would be different is that bras would have more support and maternity leave would be better.
Have you seen women fight? Unlike men who just smack each other around a few times, women try to mind&^%$ you too, after some gratuitous hair-pulling.
If mothers “ruled the world,” society would destabilize. Example: Hillary Clinton is a mother. Nancy Pelosi is a grandmother. Britney Spears is a mother. Too much control freak for me, I’ll pass.
Besides, mothers already DO rule the world. They just aren’t using politics to do it. When’s the last time you heard anyone dump on their mother, aside from a few isolated incidents?
BKennedy on September 17, 2007 at 8:02 AM
The fact is that Saddam, al Qaeda and the rest would have been attacked by the right kind of mom. And certain mom’s would have been so draconian in their retribution, that the baddies would be motivated to find ways to keep her off their backs.
I heard this comedian relate a story about how his mom and he were in the mall and seen a child disrespecting his mother and the mom let him get away with it. The comedians mom, grabbed him by the ear and cuffed him in the back of the head telling him HE better not ever try that crap on her. We need THAT mom running the war in Iraq!
csdeven on September 17, 2007 at 8:08 AM
Hollywood “nut cases” are not worth commenting on. Don’t you people have something better to do?
duff65 on September 17, 2007 at 8:22 AM
Forrest Gump just called. Said he’s embarrassed for his mama.
JammieWearingFool on September 17, 2007 at 8:32 AM
Sally’s a nut, but you gotta admit she looks great. Her tendency to ramble at award ceremonies in no way reduces her good looks.
jaleach on September 17, 2007 at 8:38 AM
If her generation of American mothers ruled the world, billions would have been aborted.
Peace, love, human life is beautiful except for the millions of babies that got in their way.
Hening on September 17, 2007 at 8:38 AM
Okay… so I remember having seen a National Geographic show hosted by the Asian lady who left ‘The View’ in which she interviewed a Palestinian mother whose boys had ‘martyred’ themselves. She, the mother, said in the interview via a translator she wished she had more sons to do the same.
Does Gidget include her among the women she wished would rund the world?
madmonkphotog on September 17, 2007 at 8:44 AM
Thanks all for the great laughs! I wish I had more to add but my childhood fantasy’s have now taken yet another hit. Ugh.
On-my-soap-box on September 17, 2007 at 8:46 AM
I guess Queen Elizabeth wasn’t a mother, so she gets a pass for kicking the Spanish Armada’s butt.
Stormy70 on September 17, 2007 at 8:49 AM
Why don’t they just Taser anybody who uses the podium to make political statements?
“Hi. I’m a high school dropout actor/actress who has the geopolitical sense of a woodchuck, and I’m here to
accept this awardlecture you on world affairs.”They’re all drunk on their sense of self-importance. Ship them all to reality rehab.
thejackal on September 17, 2007 at 8:55 AM
I’d like to see Sally and Shrillary get into a shrieking contest.
Buy Danish on September 17, 2007 at 8:56 AM
…better yet: Can you imagine a US Marine stepping forward to accept the Navy cross and suddenly breaking out in a rendition of Othello?
thejackal on September 17, 2007 at 8:57 AM
Just another excellent reason NOT to watch award shows.
jeanie on September 17, 2007 at 8:58 AM
October 12: Elizabeth - The Golden Age. See the Spanish Armada sink in glorious CGI.
Yeah, I was wondering about that. Where do all of these evil warmongering men come from? Women. And now that we’ve had a couple of generations of men raised without the corrupting influence of fathers, all’s good in the ‘hood, right?
saint kansas on September 17, 2007 at 9:04 AM
If QE1 hadn’t been so successful, our illegal alien problem might be non-existent. The U.S. and Mexico might not be two separate countries.

Agrippa2k, you are too kind.
Just remember that when SNN’s token liberal (center-left, really) writes an essay a bit further to the left than folks are used to hearing.
Not this week, though. This week I compare WWII Hollywood with Iraq War Hollywood, complete with Harry Fonda narration.
