Probably the same finger that's chased hamsters a thousand times before.

Ricky who?

I am primarily an American and secondarily a Puerto Rican. As a fellow Puerto Rican, I'm not feeling too proud right now that a fellow Puerto Rican can be as narrow-minded as Ricky Martin.

I am also an American of Puerto Rican decent and feel the same as you do. The base, crass, vulgarity, of "flipping the bird", does much to reinforce negative perceptions of Puerto Ricans. An educated, cultured person, would state his opinion and then provide facts to back up that opinion. Ricky's actions are the equivalent of child picking up his toys and leaving in a huff because he doesn't think he's getting enough attention.

Thanks Ricky, your lack of class just placed another obstacle in the path of Puerto Ricans who want to make it on there own.

And Ricky, as others have noted, please let me know when your anti-war tour makes it to Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela. In addition, let me know how your parents and grand parents feel about your acting like you just got out of the "caserio" or "arrabal".

I'm sure they are very proud.

The 'funny' part will be when one of these terrorists annihilates hundreds of thousands of these liberal retards by popping a nuke over one of the liberal strongholds (a city).

Always reminds me of a scene from Independence Day when the peace loving liberals decide to "welcome" the aliens. They gather on top on the tallest skyscraper with love signs and welcoming waves to the spaceship. They are the first to be annihilated.

Great scene

"Did you send a special envoy to Ahmadinejad to proclaim your condemnation of his war promulgation as well, you twit?

How 'bout Bin Laden -- did your special courier carry your message to his cave in the mountains of Waziristan?"

Exacto...they argue they have the right to condemn those who "promulgate" war but they only condemn one side. Obviously, if that was truly their intent, and they were being honest with themselves, then more then Bush would be the one they stick the middle finger up to. Mind you, this does not mean I agree that Bush promulgate's war...I am just pointing out he is not telling the truth and he is simply loony, ignorant, stupid, liberal who hates Bush and he attempts to justify his hatred through intellectual dishonesty the way many on the left do. Unfortunately, I do not believe they remotely understand how intellectually dishonest they are. If he condemned all those whom he believes promulgate war then while I may disagree with him as it pertains to Bush, I can atleast say he is being honest as to how he feels.

The media will adore him for his gesture.
But if it had been a Bush supporter, the media would start their best imitation of outrage and jump up and down in hypocritical disapproval over it.

HEY RICKY!!!

[RichInOC]

I think what Ricky actually meant to say is that Dubya will always be number one with him.

[Mrs. Frogjerk]

Oh my God! Thanks for almost making me choke on my sandwich with that one!

[Mrs. Frogjerk]

I was thinking the same thing.

The dixie twits got a grammy for bashing Bush, so why not ricky? His career in America has been done for awhile, maybe this is how he will try to get back in the music industries graces.

One word: Whatever!
