If Chris Christie jumps in the pool, that should be quite a splash.
That was a joke about his weight if you didn’t catch it. I like Christie, but that’s just the way it’s gonna be.
Chris Christie will eat Obama for lunch… and then still eat his normal lunch. And pie.
Fat jokes are just too easy! Someone stop me!
I’m glad they get rid of the laugh track on Sports Night. I’m not quite sure it’s a comedy.
Just to be clear, I’m not saying I’m not liking Sports Night so far. The laugh track just seemed to constrain what it’s trying to be.
I don’t watch TV shows because I’m oh so interested in what TV show writers think about politics and morality.
Fat jokes are ok. Fat people are the last people group we can make fun of. Unless of course you are fat and black then it becomes inappropriate. If you make fun of fat, black and women now there is the trifecta.
TV writers and morality? I believe you should have used the word “amoral” then the sentence would have made sensed.
Random thought-If dominion theology is correct then we must votefor Rick Perry as it will usher in the return of Christ. If Libetation theology is correct then hand over your wallet sucka!
I used to watch Sports Night when it first came out and loved the show. I recall when it was airing there was controversy between the network and the show’s producers. The producers didn’t want any kind of laugh track as they argued that it wasn’t fully a comedy. However, as I remember the network required the laugh track because of the time slot and the fact they were trying to sell it up as a comedy. One of the reasons it was so short lived when it really was a great show. Now that it is on Netflix I’ll have to watch it again.
BTW – That was just my memory of things years ago; so if I am off base at all, my apologies.
Congratulations, Frank . . . you’ve been cited in the WSJ’s Best of the Web yesterday!!
Actually, the determining factor in deciding if physical characteristics are fair game for jokesters is, of course, whether or not the object of the joke is conservative or liberal. Take the example you sight of fat black women. Starr Parker – fair game for fat jokes. Michelle Obama – don’t you dare, you sexist racist!
Fat jokes are out. They are starting to hit too close to home.
Reason #8 to vote for Chris Christie: President Christie would start a Strategic Bacon Reserve.
‘Cause he’s fat! Zing!
I’d like to see some conservative get elected who is heftier, not as handsome, bald, and sporting comical facial hair. No way they could say it wasn’t his ideas that got him in.
“I don’t watch TV shows because I’m oh so interested in what TV show writers think about politics and morality.”
Apparently, the mindset among Hollywood writers is: Given the choice to make a wildly popular and successful television show/movie or one that fails miserably but impresses your left-wing friends, always choose the latter.
RANDOM THOUGHT:
Now that representatives of the “religion of peace” are calling to cut out David Letterman’s tongue in the name of Allah, I wonder if some of his fellow Hollywood liberals might actually start thinking more seriously about the intentions of Muslims. After all, killing 3,000 innocent Americans isn’t very nice, but threatening one of their own elitist friends is downright hateful.
I never watch Letterman. His bitter, cynical, politically-motivated “comedy” just isn’t funny. Now that the Islamo-Fascists want to cut out his tongue, however, I am dying to hear the joke that set them off. And Dave – they can only cut out your tongue once, so how about an Islam-bashing joke-a-day from now on? You might pick up some viewers.
Islamo-facists want to cut off Letterman’s tongue? They’ll have to pry it out of Obama’s ass first.
How can Letterman’s tongue be up Obama’s ass when it’s in his head which is up his own ass? That is a trick that will have smarty pants philosophical types pondering for years and years…
Fat jokes aren’t ok, but phrases like “There’s more than one way to skin a cat” are. Right, DC?
What’s everyone all riled up about with Muslims wanting to cut out Letterman’s tongue? They’re a peaceful religion, right?
Maybe we’ve been misunderstanding Islam all this time. Maybe when they say “Islam is Peace” they really mean “Islam is Piece”… as in, “If you annoy us or talk about us or say ‘Mohammed’ and one of us doesn’t like it we’ll cut off a piece of you.” So they’ll PIECEFULLY cut out Letterman’s tongue… not peacefully. That must be it. I feel so enlightened now!
Carolyn – that phrase is no skin off my ass. People say it all the time – but they never actually do.
Contrariwise, cats have only one way of skinning people – but we do it all the time.
In some ways cutting out Letterman’s tongue would be a terrible waste, mostly because, much like Hedley Lamar…Letterman uses his tongue better then a $20.00 whore. On the other hand…it sure would be entertaining watching him do his top ten reason shtick in sign language.
I can see by that tuna eaten grin on your face that you’d better watch that tongue of yours DC…otherwise you’ll be up to your armpits in tongue cutting jihadists.
Common Dave, give us a top ten list:
“Top 10 things the jihadists can do with my tongue after they cut it out…”
