Arguing with Rand Paul, Letterman Urges Tax Hike to Pay Wisconsin Workers and Displays Ignorance of Tax Burdens

Catching up with a Thursday night appearance by Senator Rand Paul to plug his new book, Paul’s segment on the Late Show exposed David Letterman as an arrogantly ill-informed ally of Wisconsin’s public employee unions: “Why don't we just raise the taxes and let these folks have their collective bargaining, have their union representation and go back to their jobs? Raise the taxes on the wealthy.” When Paul tried to educate Letterman about how a small percent of the wealthy pay far more than their fair share, Letterman was an oblivious student as he baselessly countered: “I think there's something wrong with those numbers. I don't know what it is exactly, but I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with them.” Paul had outlined his wish to reduce government spending, prompting Letterman to retort: “What would be so wrong then in terms of leaving the public sector alone and reducing tax benefits for the wealthy and large corporations? Why couldn't you make up your money that way?” (Audio: MP3 clip )

Kirk Douglas Steals The Show Presenting Best Supporting Actress Oscar ‘She’s gorgeous! Wow! Where were you when I was making pictures?’ movie icon says to Oscars host Anne Hathaway. Hollywood veteran and icon Kirk Douglas stole the show early on in the 2011 Academy Awards broadcast. Aided by a walking cane, Douglas took the stage at the Kodak Theatre to present the award for Best Supporting Actress. By the time he handed the Oscar to Melissa Leo, Douglas had flirted with Oscars host Anne Hathaway and managed to have the room in stitches by poking fun at Hugh Jackman and Colin Firth. ( Read Kirk Douglas more… ) Kirk Douglas Shows Off On Camera (CBS) Screen legend Kirk Douglas was having some fun in the spotlight Sunday night at the Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. The 94-year-old Douglas, who announced the winner of the best supporting actress award, managed to drag out the announcement for several minutes as the nominees – Melissa Leo, Helena Bonham Carter, Amy Adams and Hailee Steinfeld – gamely looked on.

(How old is Kirk Douglas? 94 – born on December 9, 1916.) Besides being funny and charming, Kirk Douglas has great taste in food. His favorite meatloaf was apparently prepared by his German cook Fifi because his wife refused to let him cook – she served the loaf, made with a traditional blend of beef, pork and veal, with nutmeg-seasoned mashed potatoes.

He was a pretty handsome fellow back in his day and he’s still got the charm. He claims spot number seventeen on the American Film Institute’s list of the great male American screen legends of all time and in 1996 he got the Academy Honorary Award.

Douglas first gave Anne Hathaway complements on her good looks. He then teased nominees by taking detours — “you know,” he kept repeating — that kept him from revealing the winner. Nominees, including Hailee Steinfeld, Helena Bonham Carter and Leo’s ‘Fighter’ co-star Amy Adams, laughed on. It played like a Ryan Seacrest “after the break” tease on ‘American Idol.’ ( Read Kirk Douglas more… ) Related Searches : oscars, kurt douglas, melissa leo, michael douglas, kirk douglas age Courtesy : MTV , CBS News , Babble , Wagerrun , Gossip Cop & POP Eater
