Sally Field Reacts To Fox's Censorship Of Her Antiwar Blasphemy

It's telling that seemingly the only thing worth discussing following last night's Emmys—an exercise in show business self-gratification only marginally more entertaining than watching a Lassie stand-in lick its genitals between camera set-ups—are the three words we weren't allowed to hear (to review: "screwing," "[shit]," and "goddamn") during the telecast.

Inside Edition was quick to get Field's post-show thoughts on being a victim of Fox's ultrasensitive network censors, who appears satisfied that it was more the comment's goddamn-iness than its antiwar-iness that led to one of the evening's conspicuous disco-ball cutaways. Edition also managed to poll Oscar-winning Hollywood shadow president Al Gore about Field's speech, who "agreed with the sentiment," but refrained from accusing conservative Fox overlord Rupert Murdoch of personally pressing a dump-button that simultaneously silenced the actress's outrage and triggered the deployment of 10,000 additional News Corp-funded mercenaries to Baghdad to assist in a surge.

I will be totally okay with never reading another variation on the headline "They Don't Like Her, They Really Don't Like Her."

Time to move onto some new Field references, wire news copy editors. Maybe something along the lines of "Smokey and the Bleep It," or "Sybil Stifled," or mayhaps something real old school like "Gidget Gets Gagged."

I'd be totally okay with never reading another variation on the headline "They Don't Like Her, They Really Don't Like Her." Time to get work new material, wire news copy editors.

Might I suggest something along the lines of "Smokey and the Ban It," "Sybil Silenced," or mayhaps something old school like "Gidget Gets Gagged."

She was in Punchline; there's gotta be something we can do with that one.

"America Spared Hearing A Few More Words from Insufferable Bitch" will do for me. If you knew Sally behind the scenes...you, too, would be thrilled that someone finally shut her up, even for just a few seconds.
