[Political Junkie Too]

Has anybody asked Don Rickles what he thinks about this? His whole schtick was about race, but that was from another time.

"Rickles"

Rickles, like another comedian Jack Leonard, was from a time when people could take insults and go one with life. Those days are over apparently. Rickles used to make a point about insulting practically everyone in the audience. But everyone laughed. I think. I suppose some were offended but no one seems to have had their self-esteem eternally damaged by his taunts. But that was another era. A time when people could take jokes, tasteless or not, and go on with life.
