So anyone who makes fun of Bush's mispronunciations, of his deer in the headlights look in the classroom during 9/11, of his really bad judgement (heck of a job Brownie !) is just a 'hater' ? And without legitimate cause for humor ? Oh puuuhleeeze ...

Quote:My mind won’t change. I said the same thing about Clinton. You know some people were calling Clinton a terrorist - largely over Bosnia. You may not remember this, because unlike the current political environment, most people largely avoided this kind of rhetoric, because it’s not funny. For those that didn’t, I told them the same thing that I tell the Bush-haters. It’s not funny.

I'm not saying you're a Bush hater, and I found some of your McCain jokes funny. I'm just saying that is why a lot of us are leery of amateur political humorists.

I thought you said "The one thing that I will never forgive the Bush-haters for is killing political humor."

Quite a few of them, much of the Clinton material had to with marital infidelity, Hillary and promiscuity, not just Lewinsky. But this was mostly light stuff, and it’s not like it wasn’t based on a completely true nature. Clinton was a fratboy - there was no doubt he loved to play. The difference is that the Bush-hater jokes aren’t really jokes at all, but disguised attempts at libel, political rhetoric or outright hatred. It’s one thing to make fun of a man for promiscuity who is repeatedly caught in marital infidelity - it’s something completely different to accuse a man of being a murderer, a terrorist or a fascist because you don’t agree with a political policy.

Right, all the Clinton bashing was perfectly good-natured. Damn, you've got some skewed hindsight.
