This is kind of like giving an Oscar to Ishtar. But Warren Beatty did get the Kennedy Center honors last night. Really, there’s nothing like a shiny bit of metal to distract the entire country from a smoldering ruin of a resume. (Smoldering ruin of a country, too!)Medal of Freedom goes to three [AP/BG]
