More than halfway through the show, no one had taken a pointer from Mr. West and lobbed any political barbs at the presidential administration. But during the preshow awards ceremony, when Burt Bacharach won the best pop instrumental album for "At This Time" (Sony), he accused Mr. Bush of taking the country into war by "lying" that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. "I never like to be lied to by a girlfriend or agent, and certainly not the president of the United States," he said backstage. But, he quickly added, he would never say such things onstage in front of millions of viewers.

1. Oh, he should have done it. What's he got to lose?

I like his music, but come on... Just say it.

2. Well, for one - he wasn't part of the televised show

so he wasn't given that platform. But it's still good to know Burt is on our team!

3. Oh, OK. I did not watch it. But yes it is good that he got in print.
