"Hispanics who pulled the lever for Bush would be like roaches voting for Raid."
Not only does this guy disparage Hispanics by comparing them to cockroaches (this alone is enough to get any other 'racial group’ comedian hung by their heels), he is also blatant plagiarist.
The original quote is from former Congressman J.C. Watt's father (in criticism of his son) who opined that for a black man to vote Republican is “like a chicken voting for Col. Sanders.” It was funny at the time and received wide coverage in the press as a slam on conservatives, but after a score of revisions, the joke has run its course. Unfortunately, the joke is at the saturation level where ignorant race-baiters like this empty vessel have glommed onto the idea as though it were fresh, original and a product of their own sense of humor.
Even Milton Berle had some standards for stealing a joke – it still had to be funny.
LOL! 'Uncle Miltie' was one of a kind!
