Why the Hell is it O.K for Dennis "Turdball" Miller....
to say that John Kerry and John Edwards should "get a room" as to imply that they are gay but Woopie Goldberg is shunned for her sexually charged joke?

1. well, that's obvious
Edited on Thu Jul-15-04 11:25 PM by enki23
it's because he does it on a nationally-available television channel, available to all the world with cable. whoopie, however, made the mistake of telling her jokes at a private party attended exclusively by like-minded folk.

3. Because there's no popular left wing 24 hour cable channel
Droning on and on and on about it with mock outrage, or even a REAL cable NEWS channel pointing out that it's highly irrelevant.

Every now and then I flick to Foz (for a laugh) and it's amazed how big a deal they're making about someone making a fairly obvious (if not overly funny) remark about a presidential ticket including Bush & Dick.

4. I was flipping through the radio stations today
and heard O'Lielly go off on Whoopi because (paraphrasing), "How dare she demean the president that way. Using derogatory and crude remarks against him is unforgivable. We must demand the tape!" I guess he forgot about some of the names Clinton was called during his time in office.

What a shame the White House can't bring it up anymore (thanks Mary Beth Cahill!)

6. Forget that ASS and start watching McEnroe's show on CNBC....
He's a Dem and has like minded people on his show. He needs full support so it doesn't go the way of Donahue.

7. Fuck Dennis Miller
He always came across to me as an asshole, but he used to be our asshole. I don't know what happened to him, and I don't really give a shit.

8. my take is along the "if a tree falls in an empty forest
does anyone hear it?" lines (or however that goes).

since no one (with the possible exception of a few get-a-life du'ers) watches mr. miller, who's going to know if he says objectionable things?

on the other, ms. goldberg apparently still has a sizable contigent of fans
