Dave, I love ya, man, but on this we hafta part company. |

Regarding Egypt, Dave joked that part of the reason they wanted Murak gone was that his first name was Hosni.
I didn't find that funny, but I overlooked it. I didn't forget it. Just chose to overlook it.
Tonight, he does a Gaddafi (or however it is spelled in English) joke: the reason they want him out is that his name's Muammar.
Once I can overlook. Twice . . . nope. Sorry Dave. That's not far from doing race jokes.

I thought there was someone here on DU you were referencing.
So you're not gonna watch "The Late Show" anymore?

Obama Barack Hussein Obama. Making fun of racists and Muslim-phobes. I could be wrong, but that's how I read it. :shrug:

4. I agree. And given my respect for Stinky, I'd like his interpretation. |

6. That's an interesting take. |

Could well be the reason, I don't know. I took the jokes at face value.

8. DAve speaks oftentimes in veiled ways. Pretty sure he was commenting about Tea Bagger mentality. |
