rush & imus both call their shows 'comedy'.

[Philosoraptor]

I don't know how many times these two junkie jocks have said that they have comedy radio shows, tossing it out there like some cheap excuse for what they do, which is act like drunken junkies on live radio for hours and hours every morning for millions and millions of dollars, cracking racist and misogynist 'jokes' and having the guts to call this shit comedy.

I know comedy, and this shit ain't fucking comedy.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

1. that's not very funny.

I mean, them calling their shit comedy.

At least, not intentional comedy.

[commander bunnypants]

2. I thought they were hate jocks

specially limpballs

25. No, they're comedians now

Been told that a few times today. That or they're just outlandish radio personalities. What's the big deal now? By people I thought I knew quite well.

:crazy:

[ShortnFiery]

3. No, but Rush is the ONLY radio show that Darth Cheney feels comfortable with.

:shrug: That must say something with regard to Rush's character and integrity? :evilgrin:

[no_hypocrisy]

4. They may amuse themselves and anyone else is icing on the cake.

[skooooo]

5. Olbermann refers to Rush...

...as "comedian Rush Limbaugh..."

I think people use the word in different ways. Using it to make excuses for racist comments, though, is not valid.

[RaleighNCDUer]

18. I remember reading that Musolini was refered to as a comedian,

by pundits of the time. That doesn't mean they thought he was funny.

[blondeatlast]

6. They KNOW damn good and well they are tremendous influences, but trot out

the "I'm just an entertainer" excuse when the big bad public calls them out.

I'm sick of it and the oh-so-public dramatic, wholly insincere "apologies" that are supposed to make it all better. If you want to make it count, apologize in person, away from the cameras, and let the offended take it from there.

[unpossibles]

16. yet they are the first people to decry that hollywood types and singers

have any political stance.

they're funny like a pox.

[blondeatlast]

20. Exactly! But recognize their own hypocrisy? It'll never happen.

You made an excellent point.

[Wapsie B]

7. Yeah, right. Jeff Christie gets paid $20,$30 million a year

to do radio comedy and single-handedly salvage AM radio,serve as a mouthpiece for the gop and energize the conservatives. Yeah, you bet. :eyes:

[Philosoraptor]

9. Curly Howard would wipe the floor with their asses.

[Ikonoklast]

8. Won't fly

Prove to me that anything that either has ever said was even remotely 'funny'.

Maybe they meant that the joke is really been on us, all along.

[Philosoraptor]

10. Anything that would make a Ku Klux Klansman laugh I guess.

[peekaloo]

11. The Grand Wizards of Comedy, reconstructing the genre.

[Jim Warren]

26. Haha

Klan Komedy

[StClone]

12. Con thought shoe-horned into comedy

Is sick, degrading and unfunny unless you are a Conservative-minded Putz.

Keith Olbermann gets it right with "comedian" Rush Limbaugh. He is not a comedian, does not do news, does not do scholarly reports...he calls what he does entertainment. What it really is is reality warped and morphed to the mindset of those looking to maintain their power, wealth and whacked ideals.

[lonestarnot]

13. Referencing their appearance? Then yes, I would have to agree.

[Philosoraptor]

14. imus looks like a horror movie special effect.

Which in itself is funny, and rush, well, Jabba the Hut comes to mind, or Porky Pig, although Porky had some integrity.

[lonestarnot]

15. You are right on both counts!

:rofl:

[skooooo]

19. yes the uglier the person

..the more acceptable it is to make fun of their looks.

:sarcasm:

[Philosoraptor]

22. One thing you can't hide is when you're ugly INSIDE.

I myself would scare Dracula.

[IllLib]

17. I'm confused!!

Then whats that entertainment that makes me laugh called?

[Bluebear]

21. Are you concerned and troubled by his firing?

[IllLib]

27. Bad and incomplete attempt at humor.

not in the least.

If the entertainment that Limbaugh and Imus provide is comedy, then what is the entertainment that makes me laugh called?

From my point of view there is a day and night difference between comedy and the dribble that comes out Limbaugh and Imus.

[Philosoraptor]

23. Moe, Larry & Curly, including Shemp, excluding the last 2 Curly's.

[sandnsea]

24. Manipulated into defending Rush Limbaugh

That's what DU has been reduced to. It's really incredible, isn't it?
