No (0.00 / 0)

This is totally tasteless. It's a gratuitous ad hominem attack on a candidate's wife. I'm disgusted.

How is saying the Cindy McCain can smell where her husband has been an attack on her?

I'm disgusted at the idiocy.

Re: Give me a break (0.00 / 0)

Anyone who's offended that you implied Cindy McCain would be familiar with the smell of a brothel (ie, she's a prostitute) is an idiot? Really?

I'm disgusted at the obliviousness. (And at overcooked greenbeans, but that's a different story.)

Anyway, this kind of stuff belongs at the corner bar, not on the front page of Blue Jersey. Not your best work. By far.

I implied (0.00 / 0)

that she knew what her husband smelled like after visiting a whorehouse.  Anything beyond that comes from your own mind - and I can hardly be held responsible for the conclusion to which you jump.

So, yes, anyone who claims that I am saying Cindy McCain is a whore is an idiot.  They need to pull their head out of whatever dank hole they have it crammed and deal with a bit of reality.

Nice to see that you can drag yourself to the website, though.  If I'm so offensive, then pull my access to the front page.  If not, then continue posturing as if you are somehow morally superior to other people.

Ugh (0.00 / 0)

Man, you can be such an asshole. I've never been anything but good to you, and you would never say any of this crap to my face. It's as if the rest of us cease to be human because we have a screen name.

To answer your double dog dare, I'm not pulling your access because your abilities to write far outstrip your propensity for treating people like garbage. As far as acting morally superior, please. Displace much?

If you think (0.00 / 0)

I wouldn't say this to your face, then you have no idea who I am in the least.

Displace?  Hardly.  Just review the above and see who began casting stones.

It's a FUCKING JOKE, you stupid goddamn motherfucking asshole.

If you want to see if I'll say it to your face, stop by some time.

Enough. (0.00 / 0)

Could you both give it a rest with going after each other.   Some people didn't like the joke.  Others had no problem with it.  Let's just stop with the personal attacks and focus on what matters here rather than going after each other.

Wiat a minute (0.00 / 0)

Regardless of whether it's offensive, the reason it's considered funny is the implied put-down joke-Obama gives to the joke-McCain by implying the joke-McCain's wife was a prostitute. Sure, there's another way to read it, but it wouldn't be repeated as a joke if they innocent way you claim were the expected interpretation.

If you missed that initially, you had clueless moment. We all do. When it's pointed out to you and you claim that anyone who points it out is an idiot (and not for saying that because it's a joke and not supposed to represent actual reality it's acceptable, which is at least a plausible tack) then it sure looks like you're going out of your way to continue a fight, or immensely clueless beyond what we all do, or both.

The "implied" put-down? (0.00 / 0)

How about the implied climbing inside my mind that you're doing about now?

I didn't start any fight, but anyone who knows me knows that I'm not going to run.

Think about what you're saying.  If I smell your cologne and say you smell like you've been to a whorehouse, am I saying something about you, or it is about someone else?  If I say, "Your wife is going to say you smell like you've been to a whorehouse," it's the same fucking thing.

The thing is, if people want to go out of their way to be offended, they'll find a way to do it.  That's fine.  But don't blame me for what's going on in your head.

not offended in the least (0.00 / 0)

But when I read the joke, I thought that it was implying that Cindy McCain knew what the inside of a whorehouse smelled like, because she spent a considerable amount of time there.

To be honest, the joke is much less funny if the implication is that Cindy McCain knows what John McCain smells like when he has been to a whorehouse.

If I were you, I would go with the former interpretation rather than the latter and take your lumps from whomever wants to be offended by it.  There is a saying that applies here.

F'k 'em if they can't take a joke.

a problem with a group that is VERY young (0.00 / 0)

Hasn't anybody ever heard the joke before????

The whole point is a putdown of the one who wants to act superior.  Instead of getting into "this is an attack!," could we possibly try to have some memory that goes back longer than five minutes????

It is funny to see an argument that I have no part of and how quickly it devolved!  :-)

Am I getting any response to the concern I mentioned about getting trolled for the sin of speaking inconvenient truths to people who seem unable to handle it like N.L. ?????
