Tracy Morgan Calls Sarah Palin 'Good Masturbation Material,' Network Apologizes

Cable television network TNT issued an apology late Thursday for a comment made by "30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan about former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin during a live broadcast.

Morgan made a crude remark about the key Republican’s looks during an appearance Thursday on “Inside the NBA."

During a pre-game chat ahead of the Miami Heat-New York Knicks clash, co-host Charles Barkley asked the actor, “Sarah Palin’s good looking, isn’t she?”

Morgan replied, "Let me tell you something about Sarah Palin, she's good masturbation material. The glasses and all of that... She is great masturbation material."

[Kaleva]

1. Tracey vocalized what I was thinking.

[name not needed]

2. They put Charles Barkley and Tracy Morgan in a room together. What did they think would happen?

[LynneSin]

40. Morgan was only doing a reaction to a dumbass question Barkley and Smith started

The network should be embarassed not because of Morgan being Morgan but these 2 dumbasses that run this NBA show decided to asked such a loaded sexist question.

4. yet Limbaugh hasn't yet apologized for mocking Hu Jintao with ching chong onomatopoeia

It's been a week nearly since that happened, and Limbaugh won't say sorry for that idiotic bigoted thing way more offensive than what Morgan said.

And Michael Savage defended his "autism is a fraud" comments rather than apologizing.

Oh, look at all the dumb things Palin says on a regular basis, from that "blood libel" comment to her silly, worthless response to the State of the Union.

[underseasurveyor]

5. HaHaHa

Tracy Morgan rocks.

TNT must stand for Tuck N Tail.

[Contrary1]

6. As well they should apologize

No way is Palin "Good Masturbation Material".

:evilgrin:

Edit to add: To a normal person, that is.

7. His apology should be broadcast far beyond the people who heard the original comment.

Just so that the greatest possible audience hears about his possibly irresponsible comments.


Damn, NBC pays people to write this, and I'm not one of them. :(

[Initech]

8. Reminds me of an exchange on 30 Rock:

"I want to see the Tracy Jordan that got you kicked out of the White House!"
"Yeah well the secret service wouldn't return my t-shirt gun!!"

:rofl: :rofl:

[cbdo2007]

39. ha ha, he's brilliant on 30 Rock!!

[old mark]

9. I don't know who Tracy Morgan is, but I wish her the best...

Personally, I LOVE Palin in those leather things with all the zippers...and I mean LUV!

[Hissyspit]

12. Morgan is male comedian

on very funny television show with Tina Fey.

[old mark]

31. I know- it was a joke....kind of...

I guess I should label them next time...


mark

[Hissyspit]

82. I was thinking I had seen your posts earlier

about not having watched TV for, like, 20 years. I might be mistaking you for someone else. Just trying to help out. :D

[Tripod]

10. At some point the pot has to boil.

[Liquorice]

11. Tracy's comment illustrates the easiest way to instantly tear down any woman. nt

[Vinnie From Indy]

15. Really?

And what makes you such an authority on the psyche of all women? Is that really all it takes for any strong, confident,educated woman to turn into a puddle of wimpering jello? A remark from a comedian is the magic bullet that renders any woman incapable of standing up for herself?

I think your comment is silly and would have zero impact on most of the women I know.

[seabeyond]

24. obama is our boy to pick our cotton?

would this comment make obama a puddle of wimpering jello? would we know the intent with this comment is to insult, make powerless to empower the other, denigrate.

actually, keeping mouth shut renders women incapable. but you prefer for women to shut up, and not speak out?

are you really so obtuse.

[Vinnie From Indy]

59. Do we "know" that is what Morgan intended?

Or, is it more likely that he was being a comedian and told an off-hand joke?

I find your pearl clutching mildly amusing. Do you really go to such great lengths to be offended in your daily life or is it more that you simply cannot resist lecturing others from your high horse? USing your standards of acceptable comedy, 99% of comedians the world over would have to find another profession. Of course, we would always have Sesame Street to keep us entertained. Wait! Wait! Wait! I guess Sesame Street would be off your "approved" list as well. One character lives in a trash can and we certainly would not want to gravely insult homeless people. Another character has an eating problem in regard to cookies so he would have to go too. We could not abide anyone making fun of people with eating disorders. We would have to change Big Bird's name. Why is he called "Big" Bird when we know that that making fun of larger people makes them "powerless". We could call him "Yellow" Bird, but then again that might be taken as a racial slur. What about just calling him "Bird"?

[FedUpWithIt All]

54. So Vinnie, you'd make a better authority?

I think your hyperbolic response does not answer to the remark you are responding to.

Mr. Morgan has, at least through his words, reduced Palin to nothing more than a sex object. There was no discussion of her in any other capacity. It is evident to many women that this type of comment is usually belittling and i suspect it was meant as such.

The truth is, offense is caused when the target is offended. Palin and Tracy Morgan are the actual characters in play. If she is offended then what he said is offensive. I'm pretty sure he doesn't communicate closely enough with her to have asked her feelings on the subject. He just felt that her potential offense was inconsequential to the humor of limiting her perceived worth to nothing more than an object for his own personal sexual gratification.

[Vinnie From Indy]

66. So, I take from your response that you highly disapprove of Morgan's joke about Palin?

Is that right?

If yes, please take a moment to name a comedian, living or dead, that delivers acceptable, unoffensive comedy to your tastes. I'll wait!

on edit: I think the woman in your sig line picture is stunningly beautiful and the photo is very well composed. Cheers!

[FedUpWithIt All]

77. That is my daughter in my sig line. Her 11 yr old sister took the photo.

I agree, she is a very beautiful girl. She is also funny, kind, very creative, a wonderful daughter and a really solid human being.

It is because i am the mother of daughters that i wish the point being made by so many of the women here, regarding Morgan's comment, was more readily understood. I would not want such a comment to be publicly made about my kids. I wouldn't want it said about myself either, but i tend to feel things more vibrantly where the kids are concerned. If that type of comment were made about my daughter, i would feel more than offense, I would feel as if she had been somewhat threatened and age is irrelevant. That type of comment disregards the person. It disregards the persons history and relationships. It does not consider their preferences or interests. It takes no notice of their feelings at all.

The consequences of indifference to the feelings of others can reach very far.

Suppose a similar comment is made about a woman who endured rape as a child. Hearing such a thing could easily cause very real pain to such an individual. But the commenter isn't concerned with the potential consequences to the individual they are targeting because the commenter has limited the individual to a non feeling object. Where does that end? Is it then ok to objectify all women or only those deemed "worthless" or hated? Is it ok to objectify mentally handicapped women? Emotionally damaged? The very young? The very old? Where does one draw lines and who decides which women will be treated in such a manner while others are protected?


Consideration could change the world.

[Vinnie From Indy]

79. A wonderful response!

You have a gift for writing!

While I agree in a purely academic sense about the harm words can inflict on a person, I also realize that humor is part of the human condition and is no more able to be removed from our existence than sexuality. These are the things that make us human.

If we were able to apply a rule on our society that would filter and eliminate any language that any person alive might find offensive would that make living more fulfilling and enjoyable for all? Using the standards being advocated by many on this thread, we would have NO comedic arts whatsoever.

Again, I would like to sincerely ask you to name a comedian that you believe lives up to your standard of being "unoffensive".

Consideration could change the world, but what kind of world would it be if every comment had to be run through a matrix of acceptability so as not to cause offense to a single person.

[FedUpWithIt All]

84. You realize this comment is not only made with comedic intent.

And it is questionable what the intent of even Morgan was considering the venue. I LOVE comedy, even raunchy comedy. But i think we need to be very honest about the use of this type of commentary in daily life as a means to belittle, offend, insult, and subtlety threaten. Without understanding, of the power these types of comments have to make some women feel demeaned, the potential hurt will go on. As a woman, i have to ask you to trust me when i say that women are subjected to this type of thing regularly, without invite. My daughter, the one from the picture, has come to me upset because men have already begun to make her feel less safe through comments, looks and gestures.

The comment you first responded to was suggesting that these are the types of comments that tear women down. I have to agree with that sentiment.

[Vinnie From Indy]

87. So, you are offering that ANY joke about a woman's sexuality

having an effect on men is unacceptable in any context because there may be one or a few women in the world that feel threatened or demeaned by the joke? Is that right?

[Le Taz Hot]

18. +1

You are correct. PLUS, it was a chickenshit shot -- she wasn't there to defend herself. Bad form.

[blueamy66]

123. So, there aren't any good

candidates for women's masturbation material?

don't get it

[REP]

13. Wait ... is this a 30 Rock bit?

[Lucian]

14. Why were they talking about Sarah Palin in an NBA pregame show?

[Erose999]

57. Maybe she was at the game? She doesn't seem like a b-ball fan to me but I guess she'll go anywhere

if theres a TV camera there.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. Yuk.

Now--- Christine O'Donnell, maybe.

Oh, the delicious irony.

[Le Taz Hot]

17. Sorry, but I gotta call sexism here.

Not funny. There are plenty of things that can be said about Palin without denigrating her as a woman.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Huh?

A man finding a woman attractive is sexism? Sorry, but i can't fathom how you've made that connection.

You do know around 90% of men find woman attractive, and that a part of that attraction is the sexual instinct, right?

Now, i think he's crazy, because i don't find her particularly attractive, leaving aside her politics and dim-wittedness.

But a guy finding a woman sexually attractive does not fit a reasonable definition of sexism.

[Le Taz Hot]

22. If it was just finding her attractive and commenting on it,

"I find Sarah Palin to be attractive," it wouldn't be an issue. Bringing it to a sexual level, without her being there, essentially locker room banter but on national TV, was out of bounds. Here's a good test. If you can make a remark about a woman to her face without her slapping you upside the head, it's probably not a sexist remark. Another test. Would you object if said comment was made about/to your wife/mother/sister/daughter? I would hope so. The rules don't change just because the woman happens to be a vapid Tea Party tool and yes, I would WELCOME the opportunity to say exactly that to her face.

[demmiblue]

28. +1 n/t

[dbmk]

32. So sexism = rudeness?

The only difference between "I find Sarah Palin to be attractive" and "She is good masturbation material" is the level of crudeness. They are both on the same side of the line of sexism. One is just more polite than the other (and perhaps also conveys a difference in the level of attraction).

It was no more sexist than the question to which it was an answer: "Sarah Palin's good looking isn't she?"

This was just a case of a guy responding to whether he found a woman attractive - without any evaluation, based solely on the fact that she is a woman, of her other qualities.

That is objectification, not sexism. (A very crass case of it, but thats more of a testament to what level of prudeness is prevalent than anything else.)

Huge difference.

You could of course argue that mens objectification of women culturally results in inherent sexism - and you might have a point. But your tests are senseless in that regard.

[ProfessorGAC]

44. If She Has No Other Redeeming Qualities. . .

. . .i don't think the comment was sexist, but merely a commentary on her generalized worthlessness.

If someone said that about my wife or sister (my mom's dead), yes it would be enormously rude, because my wife and sister aren't useless in virtually every other way.

When Bloomberg Business Week had her picture on the cover and a headline "Why Big Business Doesn't Trust Her", was that sexist? She wasn't there when they wrote that headline, and she wasn't interviewed for the story. But, the fact is, that big business finds here useless, so the business mag wrote about that. The fact is, that for most people except the hyperventilating right, she is completely useless. Tracy Morgan made a quasi-humorous comment (of a type i never make about anybody at any point of my life) that defined that there was SOMETHING that made her useful.

Sorry, but as much as i buy the sensitivity to sexist behavior and speech, i think the offense is misplaced in this case. It was just a stupid joke about a stupid person.
GAC

[FedUpWithIt All]

56. This was very nicely put.

And it is accurate.

:thumbsup:

[seabeyond]

23. i understand today men no longer have lines and boundaries on what they say about women

but this is not a respectful comment on attraction. it is using her. a thing to be used. that is it. no more. no less. nothing complimentary in it, but in the crudest of ways. does any of us, does sarah give a fuck what it takes for this man to jack off....

oh wait, it is all about empowering mans sexuality to a point of looking manly for his budies, cause he doesnt quite feel like he measures up to the others.

see, really, palin does have a use.... to get this man off.

thrilling.

men really dont get how stupid they look talking like this cause in their little bubble of buddies, they all giggle like a bunch of little..... well, never mind.

[ProfessorGAC]

42. But, Palin IS Useless

She's a dimwit, she's a troublemaker, she comments vociferously on topics about which she barely knows a thing, she's self-absorbed, and behaves as if she's entitled to her status.

So, in this case, the comment might actually be valid, because i don't really see any usefulness from her.
GAC

[seabeyond]

45. so, with your reasoning, we can use all our racist degradations on steele sense HE is

stupid and useless.

that works for you?

[EOTE]

47. Nope, but you're welcome to say that Steele makes good masturbation material.

That would be the equivalent case. NOT anything racist. Nearly 100% of men wouldn't give half a damn if some old, ugly lady said that they'd make good masturbation material.

[seabeyond]

48. wrong. nt

[EOTE]

49. Extremely compelling argument!

And far more cogent than most.

[FedUpWithIt All]

62. Wrong location.

[EOTE]

64. Did you read my post and the post it was replying to?

I never said anything wasn't hurtful or offensive to anyone. I was replying to the ridiculously stupid assertion that Tracey Morgan's comments would be equivalent to someone making a racist comment toward Michael Steele. I said that if you were to redirect this toward Steele, you'd have to say that he too were masturbation material. I got a completely insubstantial reply and that is what I was replying to. I have extremely little issue with someone saying that Palin is mostly useless, because that's exactly what she is.

[FedUpWithIt All]

68. I was making a general thread response and placed it in the wrong location.

sorry.

or whomever, a cunt because, well, they ARE cunts. I've seen that gem right here on DU countless times. If something's offensive, it's offensive, and it doesn't matter who the target is, or what their relative value is.

25. Really? Reverse the genders and see if you still think so.

Maybe scan back at DU archives from mid-2008. You will find tons of posts of a certain picture of a certain then-candidate in his beachwear. The comments from many a female DUer (and more than a few female professional comedians) might help you see your hypocrisy.

[Le Taz Hot]

29. Perhaps you can link me to

my post in which I announce masturbating to Howard Dean (I assume this is to whom you are referring. If not, I have no idea who you're talking about.) If you can find it, I would indeed be a hypocrite. I"ll save you some time and assure you it doesn't exist therefore your accusation of hypocrisy is not based in fact.

[LynneSin]

30. I would but I still blame TNT

It's a basketball game. Why were they asking questions like that and why was Barkley encouraging it by putting Morgan on the spot. I'm guessing he's not a fan of Sarah Palin

[dbmk]

35. I smell a trap

If he had answered that he did not find her attractive and explicitly so - would that not have been equally sexist?

[seabeyond]

37. if he had said, not going there, whatever, huh? then he would have been fine. nt

[LynneSin]

41. The problem here is you're blaming the wrong people

Ask yourself WHY did Morgan say that?

He didn't randomly grab a microphone and just spew it off.

He was essentially put on the spot by sexist jackasses of their NBA show who decided to play a game of "Who's hot, who's not" on an NBA pre-game show.

[seabeyond]

46. ths is where we disagree. i leave keys in car. someone steals. i didnt do the act

though i set another person up to be able to do the act. he still made the choice. and i own my part in it.

he doesnt get a buy on it...

but with what you say in your other thread, i want to take it a step further.... in the other thread, if i get the moment.

[LynneSin]

52. Ok not to keep replying to you but you are a good sport

If I blatently leave my keys in the car somewhere obvious then no, I still don't deserve to have my car stolen. But I sure made it easy for them to do it. Personally it was pretty boneheaded of me to leave them there in the first place ESPECIALLY if I know it's an area where perhaps there is a chance someone would steal my car.

To take your analogy a step further -

Barkley essentially left the keys in the car with the doors unlocked parked in front of someone who is notorious for stealing cars. He should have known better to do that!

[seabeyond]

60. yes. but this is what has happened with pornification of women. EVERYTHING set up for fuckability

thru out society and that is why the networks play it, and barclay played it and comedian played it.

there was a fight in subway in ny between two girls. title.... girl on girl fight. article on the economy in a small town. one person said, only jobs are strippers. the rest of the article is on the economy and problem of the small town. because one person makes comment about strippers.... that is the heading to the story. no proof. would suggest that not enough women want to be strippers to fill the job. not a suggestion that economy so bad, lack customers, and still need stripper though they cant get a job anywhere else. one comment in a whole article..... and that is title.

videos showing frozen screen of naked woman. no naked woman in the whole thing, video not about naked woman. but that is the draw to the story.

yes, the news is playing the game, perpetuating comments of whore, slut, stripper, .... and this.

we, as a society has created it. so why stop at blaming barclay. or the network

[Odin2005]

121. He didn't have to say that he would JERK OFF TO HER.

[Capitalocracy]

70. Yes, if he's going to talk like that about a woman, he has to say the same things about men!

j/k

the guy's a comedian. and he has, let's say, a very particular style. he's a bit out there. let's all calm down.

[underpants]

125. Sex is her selll

if you think that women shouldn't do that the shut down fashion, TV, porn, and infomercials.

26. Why do you think she was always winking during the general election.

The old Tea Party guys got a tingle in their naughty parts.

[seabeyond]

27. and that... is what makes it damn hard to half to stand up for her when a man is sexist towards her

what pisses me off the most about palin.

she uses sexuality..... it is all she has. that and being a mom. she is a piss poor mom. and a woman using her sexuality to advance takes progressive women two HUGE steps backward.

still.... has to be called out.

[dbmk]

33. So let me get this straight

If another guy ask me if I think a girl is hot - I am sexist for answering "Yes, very!"?

[seabeyond]

36. that wasnt a comment. if you say, i can hit it.... then you reduce her to a thing, not human, to

be used.

the comedian saying, i can masterbate to that dismisses her in all ways, but to be used by him. it is letting the nation know she is not a person, but to be used to get off. his sole purpose was to denigrate and degrade

[mucifer]

34. I almost never unrec a thread. I did for this one.

[HopeHoops]

38. Eww gross. The slightest thought of her would make it shrink to nearly nothing.

[SidDithers]

43. Tracy Morgan is one funny dude...nt

55. That is about all she's good for. "Inside the NBA" was probably not the best venue to voice that

opinion though.

[Erose999]

58. Would it be sexist if I said "Sarah Palin is a load that should have been swallowed"? Please note

that I didn't actually say that.

My friend did.

[FedUpWithIt All]

63. This thread is interesting.

Scrolling down, one can clearly pick out most of the male posters from the female.

I wonder why men, seeing women saying that something is hurtful and offensive to the majority of women, continue to go to such lengths to justify it. Isn't the input of so many woman useful as a gift of insight? Wouldn't it be helpful to try and understand what so many women are actually saying they FEEL instead of trying to continue the insult by telling them that their personal feelings about their value and worth is not worth consideration?

[seabeyond]

72. "their value and worth is not worth consideration" that is the point of sexism and sexist comments.

and the reinforcement of the behavior.

[Morning Dew]

73. I agree.

And I have to applaud the poster who is standing up for women.

[kctim]

74. I wonder why

the few women who get their panties all bunched up over silly things like this, think they speak for all women.

[seabeyond]

76. are your whities too tighty??? i never said i spoke for all women. i did express my opinion

though. and that certainly counts as much as yours.

Not speaking for all women and the majority can easily be seen by the cross section from this thread.

But thank you for being an example for the point i was making.

91. no, not about barefoot, kitchen, ect.. it is about dehumanizing and use. a thing. like a tool

this is the complete opposite on the patriarchal scale from the religious woman second class. for this group of men, women are a fuck. we get to be a fuck, or subservient.

[kctim]

97. Please

telling you that you have a nice ass does not mean I believe you are 'subservient' to me.
Hell, it probably means that I would serve you, more.

[seabeyond]

102. you dont get it. that is not part

of subservient. the subservient would be there to serve. the other side of patarchal, to empower male is to make the woman a thing. not see her as a person, but a nice ass.

i am pretty sure a woman does not give a shit about what YOU think about her ass.

[FedUpWithIt All]

92. "Most women are not that insecure and have a sense of humor."

Ahh, i see. You, a male, are a better authority of what the majority/most women are feeling, in direct contrast to the views of the majority of women on this very thread. Interesting. I also like the part where you suggest that women, who prefer to be seen as more than an object for men to look at while they masturbate, are both humorless and insecure.

"Silly things like what Morgan said, saying a girl has a 'nice rack' or 'I would love to nail her,' are not said to hurt feelings and have nothing to do with value and worth."

Really? Are you certain you want to speak in such absolutes? I would offer that intent to hurt has little to do with actual hurt being caused. Have you ever been a female on the receiving end of such comments? No? And your claim that the comments have nothing to do with self worth or value? Again, you seem to know so much about the female psyche. From experience? No?

My point earlier, that actually listening to women describe their feelings and experiences and actually trying to understand would certainly serve some men well, stands.
Have a nice day.

[kctim]

96. Better authority? Hell no.

ALL of the women I have ever interacted with are why I know and only a few of them display the contempt displayed here.

If a joke makes a woman feel like an object, then she is humorless and insecure.

Yes, I am good with such absolutes, because not all women are hurt by jokes or words. If you are, then say that YOU do not agree with such things. Don't act like ALL women feel a joke or dirty compliment are hurt.

I listen to my ol lady describe her feeling and experiences all the time, but you know what, she NEVER gets pissed when I say something like, "damn you got a nice ass."

You have a nice day also.

[dbmk]

88. Why is hurtful to you?

What makes you conclude that its hurtful and offensive to the majority of women? How have you established that the majority of women feel like that about this incident?

And who has said that so many womens personal feelings about their value and worth is not worth consideration?

94. Hatred of women is despicable regardless of the politics of the victim.

When a man can't or won't engage a woman on her ideas or actions and simply reduces her to a thing for masturbation, he shows a that he is capable of placing any woman who offends him in that box. Cheering it on or agreeing with it should be cause for deep soul searching.

BTW, I saw Tracy Morgan's standup, and it was hard to stomach. Based on what I heard that night, the comment about Palin was mild.

111. Every time a man masturbates, the Moon Bombing Patriarchal Phallo-Conspiracy kills a kitten.

Please, think of the kittens.

122. Of for fuck's sake! I was one of the ones going after the Moon-Bomb poster and I think his comment..

...was sexist as SHIT. It's OK to call a woman attractive, but you don;t have to be vulgar about it.

103. Submitted without comment. I kinda miss this guy actually. Okay, that was a comment.

115. Yeah, me too (in both respects)

:rofl:

Although, on second thought, if I was drunk enough and single, ... naah.

[Major Hogwash]

104. Tracy needs glasses.

Really. Seriously. I would take him more seriously if he wore glasses.

Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

Stewbeef!!

105. Funnier than anything Morgan said is all the defense of Sarah Palin in this thread.

Who'd a thunk? :shrug:

117. Having reviewed your replies in this thread, I find I am not interested in discussing either this or

anything else with you whatsoever, either now, or in the future at DU: it would simply be a massive waste of time & intellectual energy best expended elsewhere, and I will leave honest observers to judge for themselves as to whom would be wasting the most time for the smallest return on said energy.

So, it's off to *ignore* you go: have a nice evening. :hi:

[Liquorice]

108. I will always defend any woman against a sexist attack. nt

[apocalypsehow]

126. So will I: locate a valid one, and I'll join you on defense. n/t.

[Warren DeMontague]

110. No shit. Unfortunately, some people always think sex is inherently degrading,

or that finding people sexually attractive on the basis of physical appearance is somehow "oppression"~

That somehow we are all such one-note simpletons that we can't possibly find another human sexually attractive and simultaneously evaluate and respect them on the merits of their intellect and other qualities.

In the case of Sarah Palin, it's not Tracy Morgan saying he'd masturbate to a picture of her that keeps her from being taken seriously- it's the shit that comes out of her mouth, like calling evolution and global warming "hoaxes".

[apocalypsehow]

119. Well said, and spot-on. n/t.

[datasuspect]

120. ALL SEX IS RAPE!

Male children should be aborted to prevent violence!

[Warren DeMontague]

112. I think even FOX News is ready for her to go away.

I mean, look at the picture of her they ran in conjunction with this story! Nice fist.

[Warren DeMontague]

113. Tracy Morgan needs to get out more.

Seriously. There's way better masturbation material than her.

[bemildred]

114. Speaking as a 100% hetero male, I would not touch her with a 20' pole.

I got enough trouble.

[sofa king]

116. Here's a lesson for all of you:

[Odin2005]

118. Morgan is a fucking asshole.

And how does anyone find Palin ATTRACTIVE!?!

[underpants]

124. He pretty much nailed why she is still a news story - sex sells

and she is hot.

The breathing video on youtube is softcore porn,nothing else.
