They don’t typically allow morons to fly an F-102 Delta Dagger, which is widely regarded as one of the most difficult fighter planes to fly and which is what Bush operated during his much-mocked service in the Air National Guard.

He did a very good job. Not a single North Vietnamese made it into Texas airspace while he was in the Guard.

I have seen some extended interviews of Biden. He is very smart. He tends toward malapropisms ,but he is still very smart.  
Bush was a joke. he could not defend his positions. He was an embarrassment . A spoiled rich kid who always got what he wanted in spite of his lack of talent and intelligence.

Exactly. It conjures up images of a **single** person. Not a race, religion or creed. The end.

I’m reminded of Christopher Hitchens on on Bill Maher’s show, who said Bush IQ jokes have become the jokes that stupid people laugh at.

You’ve already established that it’s nothing more than mindless trolling. No need to further explain.

I didn’t think people were denying it was perjorative. Of course it is. But just because it’s perjorative doesn’t mean it’s racist.

For God’s sakes, if I started calling him ‘Slim’, undoubtedly some leftist would claim it’s racist. Ethiopians and all that.

Better answer than mine, but similar. I also have 2 daughters. The daughter barely even figured in the joke. He named Sarah and a-Rod in the joke. It was a lazy joke, 2 public figures intersected so they threw together something to take advantage of that - et voila - lame joke.

Reading those, it looks more to me like the Letterman incident was a bunch of manufactured outrage intended to keep Palin in the news. The ones in that list talking about Palin’s daughters were at a time when Palin was already in the news for one reason or another.

It shows he’s smarter than someone who thinks that while looking at Sarah Palin, and hence is a better choice.

Sure hope not. As an ancient Dave fan, stuff like this can only help him in the ratings – plus it exposes the wingnuts exactly for what they are = hysterical little bitches, making mountains out of molehills.

So, keep 'em coming!
