Just another day in the life of an “edgy comic”, and, apparently, Arnold Wayne Jones of the Dallas Voice wants to have Maher’s baby….well, consider what the Dallas Voice is about, that might not be as fanciful as usual
It’s that fearlessness — he acknowledged that some people would probably be uncomfortable with some of his remarks about religion, not to mention calling Sarah Palin a “cunt†(“there’s just no other word for herâ€) — that makes Maher the most dangerous person in comedy. He’s painfully well-informed, which means he takes no bullshit from anyone. President Barack Obama took it on the chin almost as much as Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck. How dare the President say he would not settle for America being No. 2 — America is already out of the top 10 in most international lifestyle and human rights categories (health care, education, social mobility, women in high political positions). “I’d be thrilled if we were No. 2,†he ranted, noting it’s nice to be behind Bosnia in life expectancy (where the chief cause of death is wolfman attacks, he joked).
Personally, I like my comics to be funny, and once one delves that deep into politics, and has their entire routine based around it, it’s not funny. But, waiting for the Left to decry this incivility in 3…2….2…..2….2….
