Hmm. I should be DNA tested. If he does that, I’m sure I’ll find some Asian in me somewhere...

Regardless, Mel Brooks always said that it’s never too soon. He was joking about the Holocaust barely two decades out, and had no apologies over it. It’s why I adore him so.

We’ll never see anything like Blazing Saddles ever again. This is just more kowtowing.

I expected better from Jay. By better, I mean, “ballsier”; none of this bowing. I was wrong.

What an utter snowflake.

Which proves once again, if you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything.

Let’s give him a break. He wouldn’t have said those things if people didn’t think they were funny. So it is the fault of his audiences. And of his sponsors.
Sort of sad that he is accepting responsibility.
(I can’t believe I found the words to say that)

Why bother?

Show-biz party list concerns, I'll bet - mostly to placate his wife. And if she ain't happy, he could lose half of his car collection.

So, his self-respect is expendable.

I’m Irish. We are typically portrayed in media as: Eccentrics, tricksters, drunks, brawlers, stubborn grudge holders and clannish.

Hey, that sounds good!

BUT....In the 1830s through 1860s we were considered disloyal papists, apes, and possibly cannibals.

How about apologizes for all of your anti-conservative jokes, Jay?

Among he nastiest things I can think of; keeping a dog in the house as a pet. Indoor dog owners are falling right of the bottom of the chart of civilized.

Much better to eat them.

While you’re at it, Jay, how about an apology for the nasty jokes you made about Linda Tripp and Paula Jones? You said some pretty cruel things about their looks. I always had to shake my head when people praised him for being a “nice guy”. He’s a phony just like the rest of them.

Picked up a cookbook in South Korea a while back entitled “100 Ways to Wok Your Dog” - just saying.

I was in Korea during the 1980’s. In Seoul, I went to the large traditional Korean outdoor market. I came upon what I thought was a pet store with puppies and other small dogs in cages. It was not a pet store. I’m standing in the middle of the “pet store” and I see a Korean guy wearing an apron standing behind a huge chopping block with a meat cleaver in his hand. He was whacking to pieces man’s best friend and throwing the pieces into a metal bin that was full of “parts.” Without showing any visual reaction to the horror in front of me, I slowly backed out and went on my way. 40 years later, I still can’t get that scene out of my head. Yea, they eat dogs in Korea and in China as well.

Do they eat dogs in Korea or do they not?

The Norks eat a soup brewed from tree bark, ya think they would pass up a roaming mutt?

Put some kimchee on it, and you'll think dog is angus prime beef.
