Joe Biden made himself vice-president and he’s certainly a national joke.
Anyway, I certainly consider Barack (“It’s like the Special Olympics or something”) a major joke. The man is a stuttering, jug-eared doofus who is a complete embarrassment every time he decides to go off-script and “wing it.” He’s an idiot who thought buzzing lower Manhattan with Air Force One would be a great idea for a photo op. The man says “wreck havoc” when he means “wreak havoc.” He’s a moron who managed to ACORN his way into the Oval Office.
So I guess his wife and kids are fair game now? Thanks!
Sigh. I thought it was clear that I was talking about some of the posts in this thread. I’m fine with the Letterman joke.
And while you have your own private definition of whore, Dio, you’ll forgive me for adhering to the definition everybody else that speaks English uses.
She may well be a hypocrite, but that doesn’t make her a whore and slut either.
Actually, anyone with two brain cells to rub together connected the “knocked up” comment with Bristol. Palin herself is the one that made the public connection to her 14-year-old. Because she’s a shameless attention whore who loves to use her children to elbow her way to a microphone or camera.
I missed the wreck havoc. It might be fun watching for more Obamaisms, albeit tricky. The man probably takes his teleprompter to bed with him to bid good night to Michelle.
To be fair, all Palin did was take her daughter to a baseball game. Letterman started this, but she has every right to respond to his lame and disgusting “jokes.” And based on Letterman’s comments the other night, I’d say even he agrees with me.
“Wreck” is a perfectly common and acceptable pronunciation for the word “wreak.” Good thing you had all that other A-list material, *e.g., *“jug-eared doofus.”
He abstained from O. J. Simpson jokes for months. A cite. David Letterman put it best last summer when interviewing Howard Stern who appeared on Letterman’s show sporting a t-shirt with Simpson’s mug shot. Stern, throughout his interview, cracked O.J. jokes, coaxing Letterman to play along, but Letterman’s response was: “I just don’t find double-homicides funny like I used to.” Letterman had to pick between a cheap laugh and holding his moral ground, and he chose the high road. Shouldn’t victims be treated with dignity?
Deep down the guy is pretty much a Midwestern prude.
His reaction to the flap about the 14yo Palin, struck me as absolutely right. A little shock that anyone would interpret the joke that way, a little regret that it could be interpreted that way, and a little bit of blowing it off as manufactured outrage.
Not according to dictionary.com, which provides the correct pronunciation as [reek].
But keep trying, please. I suppose you have an explanation as to why Obama used to pronounce ‘Massachusetts’ as “Mass-a-TOO-setts.”
And I’m sure you have no problem with this grammatically incorrect statement from a few weeks ago:
…“a sacrifice you may not have chose to make, but a sacrifice you were nevertheless called to make so that your children and all of our children can grow up in an America that still makes things.” Ouch.
Oh my god, are you really going to nit-pick every single mispronunciation the man makes for the next four years? Anyone who does that much public speaking will make the occasional error.
