Tough for you to admit that you stepped in go se, and all you've done since is spread it all over yourself. Lots of folks here are a lot smarter than you think, and can see right through your tiresome and predictably childish antics. Go piss up a rope, and if you cannot do that, keep trying.



What's to admit? I'm not the one volunteering to fuck anyone's 14-year-old daughters. How is it, exactly, that I stepped in shit? Seems YOU are the one who says he wants to fuck little girls. If that ain't stepping in shit and spreading it all over yourself, I don't know what is. I'd say that's between you, the cops, and Chris Hansen. Don't forget to register if you move to a new place nearer the middle school!

Now that's almost pretty funny Chris, and in most cases I'd gladly oblige. If you see my post before Kwikko The Clown re-ignited the whole thing, I stated that Palin had accepted Letterman's apology and the thing was over. Not over for Kwikko The Clown however. And as for Frem The Lonely Anarchist, well he was particularly nasty to me the other day in another thread. In that thread I wrote the following..." Most poor people are not criminals." That's it. From there, your beloved snow-eating, bark biting lunatic pal went on a full-page incoherent rant at me. But I just let it go with no response. And he also went on full-page psychotic PNesque (though with more rancid vulgarity) rants against lots of other nice folks all week who were just trying to voice their opinions....people who I'd never even seen in here before, or rare posters at best. Now he's back for more, so I kept it short and clear. I can be terse, tho' laconic's tough. No wonder this place has become a ghost town. Guess i'm next. Rejoice all. Que sera sera.

Ya know, JongStrawman, that "Kwikko the Clown" moniker would be a little snappier if you spelled it Kwikko the Klown". Has more comedic gravitas that way.

But I guess since you're running away like a little baby, it's a moot point now...

"Definently." And, ya know, it DOESN'T make my blood boil, because IT'S A FUCKING JOKE, and it's purely a hypothetical. I don't have that empathy. I never had kids, so I *CAN'T* imagine what I'd feel like if someone said that about my kids. You may as well say, "What if someone said that about YOUR Easter Bunny or YOUR Santa Claus or YOUR God!" IT HAS NO MEANING TO ME.


The fact you cannot empathize is quite disturbing to me. Add that to your incessant need to correct typos and I would say you are well on your way to a complete sociopathic meltdown.

Ahhh - so we're back to equivocation, are we? It's not so much WHAT was said, as WHO said it. Okay, since it's all about audience size, let's try this one on:

Where was your outrage at Rush Limbaugh when he viciously tore into Chelsea Clinton? He has a large-ish audience, right? (I'm speaking numbers here, not just weight) She was a 13-year-old girl when he joked about "the White House dog" and showed a picture of her on his TV show.

Where was your outrage then? Any of you?


Please direct me to the thread pertaining to the above mentioned incident and I will freely post my thoughts. Good luck digging those up unless, of course, you have a time machine.

As I've pointed out, it's not that the joke was about a young girl. Rush and McCain have proven that, with their own cheap shots at Chelsea over the years. And it's not that the joke was about "rape", as McCain again has proven with his own hilarious rape jokes. It's not WHAT was said, or WHO it was said ABOUT, but rather WHO said it.

What do tasteless jokes have to do with being on the PC bandwagon? Have I once called for Letterman to be fired? Have I ever stated that poor taste is only a characteristic of the left?

And finally, apologies to Oppyh for derailing an otherwise enlightening thread. A bonus from the usual banality that RWED has become. Tit for tats are not debate, although certain Posters do need to be 'tatted' from time to time, IMHO.

RIPWASH


"Tit for tat"
To quote Dennis Miller: What exactly is "tat"? Where can I get it and how do I trade it in for that other thing?


I think the thread about Mrs. O was started specifically because of this thread. A joke was made by someone on the right about someone on the left and the left wanted the same "outrage" as was shown by this joke. I have quite specifically stated that BOTH jokes were in bad taste.

I think it boils down to what has been said several times and people want to ignore. It boils down to context. Letterman himself admitted that he thought Bristol was the one at the game and he made sure she was of legal age before telling the joke. So, put in context, if Bristol was at the game . . . yeah, kinda funny. But, the context changed when it was the younger daughter. A-Rod having sex with an underage girl, consenting or not, is legally statutory rape (that's where the "rape joke" comes into play). Now, just because Bristol got "knocked-up" when underage, does not (or at least shouldn't) make a joke about Palin's other daughter having sex and getting knocked-up at the ball game funny. Letterman realized this and thus his second apology. People realized that if it were about they're underage daughter (as Letterman himself said he realized), it would make them upset, so they empathized with Palin and understood her anger.

I think both Chris and Kwicko mentioned at the beginning of the thread that the joke, when directed toward a 14 year old was in bad taste. Maybe not those exact words, but similar. They were, however, getting a kick at how mad it was making other people and they were just stirring the pot. Then others fell for it and it just degenerated from there. That's how I saw it anyway.

I move this thread be closed?

Any one care to second?

All that stuff directed at Finn was intended to question his integrity and bipartisanship. Obviously you didn't pick up on that.

I'm sorry, was David Letterman beating one of Sarah Palin's daughters? Was one of the girls in pain or dead by the side of the road? Are you saying they're dogs?

I said I don't know what it's like to have my daughter raped. I also don't know what it's like to have my wife raped. That in no way implies that I'd stand by and watch either of those things happen. I just don't know what it FEELS LIKE to have it happen, because it never happened to me. I would like to think that if I saw someone raping a little girl (Jongs, for instance), I'd do everything in my power to stop them. But a joke about one girl being pregnant does not constitute the rape of another, any more than telling someone they're fired is equal to actually setting them on fire.

I can recognize when a crime's being committed, even though I'm not the one committing it. That I can feel for a person doesn't mean I can know HOW THAT PERSON FEELS. You asked me to put myself in Palin's shoes, and I just never can, period. I don't have children, I don't have young daughters - knocked up or not - and I'm not a woman, so I *CAN'T* know how she feels. I don't know how much more plainly I can put it, since you obviously are making every endeavor to NOT understand the point.

John Ensign?

John Edwards?

Are those the words you're looking for?

Stupid ?

I mean, why pay for something good manners, flattery and a little class can get you for free ?

Cheap ?

Seriously, when you pay for sex, it ain't the sex you're payin for, really, it's the SILENCE, as in keepin their mouth SHUT when they ain't usin it.
Crude, but true, something most politicians go cheap on, with predictable results.

All in all though, if you have to pay to get laid, maybe you should have a look at why no one likes you enough otherwise, really...

Oh, I didn't mean that in a sexist way, there's boy-whores too, just sayin that when someone political, powerful or famous is payin for some nookie, keeping it quiet is kinda part of what they're paying for, isn't it ?

I've just got back from a funeral of an old friend, an argument with my state rep, and my doctor, and I look like a freakin pirate right now with this damn eyepatch, my mechanical leg, and a brace of stitches, so i'm not exactly in like a really happy place, no...

But the whole idea of payin for sex sets my back up, as Mal said in Shindig "It's the LIE of it" - so there's that, too.

I'm conflicted. I don't mind the IDEA of people paying for sex, and think prostitution might be better off if it were legal - except for the organized-crime aspects of it. I think there are people who'd do good to avail themselves of sex-workers (that guy who shot up the gym in Pennsylvania comes to mind) because they can't seem to get laid any other way. On the other hand, I'm prude enough that I couldn't pay for sex. Like Frem and Mal, there's just something I find distasteful about it (and when I say "distasteful", DO NOT come back with "That's why I never kiss 'em on the mouth!").

So yeah, if you can find a way to have prostitutes where they have the power of self-determination (individual rights?), then go for it. But how do you insure that they aren't victimized by pimps, whether legal or not?

Now, as to the question at hand about Letterman:

Is it clear whether he hired these women just to have sex with them? Or is it that he had sex with someone who worked for him?

More to the point, should EVERYONE lose their job if they sleep with someone they work with, they work for, or who works for them?

And if so, tell me again, why is John Ensign still a U.S. Senator? And why is he being allowed to run for reelection?

And there are SOOOOO many other great questions about Ensign, having to do with both legal AND ethical issues.

I recent met a man who did have a hooked hand. He had a boat, but no parrot.

Still, you should get a parrot. Parrots are cool. Get a baby of some smart parrot and train it like a dog. Some parrots can actually learn to talk, not just ... err... parrot ... or do I mean arr...

As my brother said years ago "parrots actually *do* know what they're saying, they're just not very nice."

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


Way, waaay too late to comment on it all, so I'll just comment on the title and as far as I read.

I agree with others, Letterman is a comedian, he screwed up, and no, I don't believe for a minute that he meant the 14 year old. That's just plain stupid. He'd KNOW the backlash he'd get; it was just dumb not to clarify the joke, which could have been done easiy with something like "good thing he didn't have Bristol with her, or..." They screwed the pooch on that one.

Palin made the most of it, as she has done with ANYTHING that would gain her sympathy or she thinks would.
Quote:

The Left's never-ending personal attacks on Palin only show just how terrified they truly are of her.
Oh, please, please, BELIEVE that, and run her for Prez in 2012...please, please, please????

I never watched Letterman much...I don't watch either of the late-night shows 'cuz I'm really sick of bad jokes being laughed at. Before I gave up, I spent a long time listening to their jokes, thinking "uh..?" while listening to the audience go crazy over something I thought was stupid or just plain not funny.

I don't watch stand-up comedians anymore, either, because the idea of their "humor" seems to be hollering, obscenity, bathroom jokes, or other just plain nasty "humor" which, again, the audience goes wild over but I find not the slightest bit humorous.

Which is not to say either Letterman or stand-ups don't come up with some really great stuff now and again...just not enough to sit through the rest of the bullshit. I always found Letterman particularly nasty in his humor and don't like the bit of the man himself which sneaks through.

But Palin? She's a joke, and I've not seen such a whiner in a long time, not to mention a quitter for self-serving purposes. She'll make her fortune dissing America, Obama, Democrats, the media, and anything else she can wrap her pathetic little brain around, happily lying through her teeth when it serves her purpose.

As to "abusing" her daughters, she used her kids every chance she got; "as ye sow, so shall ye reap". Has nobody but herself to blame. Obama's kept his kids out of the spotlight the majority of the time, yet "Kill Obama, and Michelle and the two kids too" wasn't even intended as a joke!

It's all a tempest in a teapot, as is Letterman's recent scandal. Waste of time, energy and thought.
