No president escapes the American sense of humor

Lawyers should never ask a Georgia grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer.

In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.'

The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?'

She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.'.

The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said,

'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair.

BTW, there are also lots of jokes about women swapping their husbands for material things, so get off your always offended high horses, people. Sheesh!

Correct. 

The basic idea that jokes should not offend anyone or any group is totally fucking offensive.

This is hilarious, I admit personally I didn't get it for a few seconds.   
I was like umm where is the punchline and I was trying to sort out if this was a real story or a complete joke.. haha.

So we can't tell the same political joke that has been told many times with other men/women/party substitutions, but straight up calling a conservative woman a pig is fine.

Well she's white, right?

I saw that coming when the lefties defended maher for calling palin a cu*t because it was funny. Or when they attacked Bristol and trig while claiming the obama girls were off limits. And of course the house ni**er name used to describe so many black republicans male and female because the dem party knows that all blacks belong in the dem party. No nuance there.

You can tell the 'same jokes' if you live in 1940 in your head. So what do you forward thinking girls think of Rush's knee slapper about Chelsea Clinton?   Is that the nuance you can relate to?
Conservative humor is all some variation on I Love Lucy.  Lucille Ball was a genius comedian, but the show was misogynistic as fuck.  Unfortunately it covered the entire range of r-w "humor".

I always thought there were hints of envy on the palin issue.

Because she certainly is no pig.

And the Democrats sure have a lot of women who are hogs.

I draw a firm line in the sand with regard to the families of those figures, most particularly the  minor children and spouses that are not directly involved in political policy.

Since both Michelle Obama and Nancy Pelosi are very political, I guess you have no objection to poking a little fun at them. As far as racial undertones are concerned, liberals are the ones constantly reminding us that the Obamas are black and therefore beyond criticism.

Michelle Obama is not an elected political figure, but she does have the right to free speech, a platform, and the right to support her own and her husband's programs.  Just as Laura Bush did.  So no, you don't get to lump her in with a congresswoman who deserves what she gets (as if either of them deserve that)    Would your 'joke' naming Laura a good trade for a pig draw guffaws from you?

I also stated that I was equally uncomfortable with jokes that in any way attacked a person's race, ethnicity, gender, religion or age.  And in that respect I have a couple of issues with this joke as it relates to gender.  First it places the First Lady of the US and the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives on the same level as a couple of hogs.  And more disturbing it insinuates that Barack Obama actually "owns" the two individuals and as such can trade them for farm animals.   OK, I admit it.   As I said earlier, I lack a sense of humour.  Or at the least, I lack a totally developed one.

Bill Maher is a cunt.

[shkiser]

I liked the joke. If u take offense to a joke, you need to reevaluate your life..

[Rigon]

I'm STILL trying to discern where your funny joke is a shot at the president.  So far, you haven't said.

[bananaeater]

Haha! He has an amazing sense of humor! I wish other presidents can make such a funny situation too.

[sana8410]

I believe the hog swap joke originated at the time of Clinton...hence the Arkansas Razorback being part of the joke.   I've heard various forms of it applied to him...then Bush...now Obama. 

[Rigon]

This is really hard to swallow.  A fun thread turned into an argument over jokes.  And of course the libs bring in references to body parts that have no place in the world of fun.  And then I think of the thread libs started with headlines referring to con politicians which contained disgusting epithets, nothing fun and easy about them, pure filth.

It is said libs have no sense of humor.  They don't.  They think filth is humor and they think humor is racism, sexism, religousism.

That god I am not them.  What miserable lives they must lead.

LOL   Name every conservative comedian you know....and after you are finished writing "Dennis Miller"...Ill write down the names a few hundred liberal comedians.
