7.  We usually let comedians get away w/ this kind of thing.
I think his choice of words was perfect- comparing The Idiot to "mentally challenged" or whatever the PC term is would have been an insult to those folks.

Bush is just a damn retard- in the school-yard-insult sense of the word.

13. I'm thinking it's so over its
facination with the retarded president(sic).

If there was spot in the dictionary for "retarded president"..bush's over photoped smirk would be there.

17. Good one!
As an aside, I really do think that the country is ready for a black president, and as much as we collectively derail the mainstream media here, I think we owe them one for airing television shows depicting black presidents, etc., as it has a huge effect on many who would otherwise still be stuck in the misguided Archie Bunker mindset and era.

19. Why is it always the comedians who nail the truth these days?
Except for stand up comics, parody news shows and editorial cartoonists I'd have given up all hope by now.

21. Because "the truth is often spoken in jest."
A death row inmate told me that once.

22. Ever hear him talk of a black vice president?
haha It's very funny. He says there would never BE a black vice president because.....he for one would be excited to whack the president so there could then be the first black president. He says what's the worse that could happen? He'd either go to prison and be treated like a hero for the rest of his life or be pardoned by the first black president.


Chris Rock is so funny. I just love him.

He is one of my favorites for sure. His humor is like a lazer beam--right on point.
