I agree with you, it's niether "racist" nor "funny" HOWEVER what is truely offensive is the double standard exercised here. If Hillary had an (R) behind her name the liberls and democrats would be screaming for her scalp.

....I'd love to know what Trent Lott has to say about this.

"She might have called him a bastard. I wouldn't rule that out. She's never claimed that she was pure on profanity. But I've never heard her tell a joke with an ethnic connotation. She's so fanatic about it. She can't tell an ethnic joke. It's not in her."

"Hillary hit him between the eyes. She was angrier than Paul had ever seen her. 'You f**king Jew bastard!' she screamed."

Gandhi, gas station attendant, was supposed to be a joke; ethnicity, i.e, exploitation of stereotype, was a crucial component; hence, hillary clinton's throwaway (you can bet she wishes she had) lines were an ethnic joke.... Q.E.D.

But as I have argued ad nauseam, the implications of hillary clinton's ethnic "joke" are of greater import than the substance of the "joke" per se.

  • clinton's ethnic "joke" belies the denial of hillary's anti-Semitic slur.
  • clinton's ethnic "joke" exposes/confirms the obvious: purported clinton smarts is primarily PR, not IQ.
