Want a good wholesome laugh? Listen to this quote of Bill Maher just now:

[Mira]

"Obama has gotten praise from the right and the left for his handling of the crisis of the storm. On Fox news Pat Buchanan reluctantly put forth: "You're doing a heck of a job, Brownie".


Now why didn't I think of saying that? It's so perfect.

1. Thats f'ing rich. LOL nt.

2. love bill maher

[Lucinda]

3. I don't think it's funny at all. n/t

5. Do you know that Buchanan is a racist? He was fired from MSNBC for his book...

about the loss of white America and for some statements he made. It's funny because it's not far off from something Buchanan would really say.

[Mira]

6. Of course I know it. That's the irony and

what makes this so richly funny to me.

14. My post was to Lucinda, not you. nt

15. ...

7. I'm well aware of Buchanan. And I don't find racist jokes funny. n/t

[Mira]

8. I so totally understand. YET

isn't there such a thing as something being so ridiculous that it transcends a basic stance?

One of the many bumperstickers I have had (I make them, and I change them often) is: "Please do not assume I share your prejudices". I live in a red state. I lost a major client because I responded (to all) to a racist email comment he made about President Obama's inauguration, which I attended on that icy day on the mall, and I took my grandson along on the red eye bus to Washington- but I have to be able to laugh at something so out of left field and that to me is so hilariously appropriate.

9. I understand your point, but this is not a 'racist joke". It is a joke about a racist.

[Mira]

10. Thank you. When I grow up

I want to be succinct and cut to the chase like you.

11. It took me nearly 60 years. :)
