That joke feels a bit squatchy.

Don't you sass me...

LOL, Clown Clinton. Remember when he said Rush Limbaugh had stood up for Attorney General Janet Reno, but “only did it because she was attacked by a black guy.”

[Pietro]

Sure its racist and funny.

It was in very poor taste to send it out over a PA system to hundreds of people though.

I think in reality magazines actually offer her money to keep her clothes on, but that’s just me.

[Mr. K]

OK that would be mildly amusing in a locker room among guys- but even then, YES it is racist...

But to think that would be funny in a crowded audience? That is certainly stupid

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Hey it was a clown—a fool—why should anyone care?

[SMARTY]

I’m with you ... that was funny!

[Uncle Slayton]

“Hayhurst was not performing at the rodeo Sunday. He was taken to an area hospital Saturday evening for head injuries.”

This brave rodeo clown speakers his minds exercising his First Amendment Rignts and he is fired from his job and likely brutally attacked by agents of the Obama Regime.

$50, wow, THAT much???

I wouldn’t pay 50 cents to see her in person.

[SMARTY]

I don’t know but I’m sure the same guy does their makup!

"Natgeo magazine is known for featuring photos of naked African and aboriginal women."

They feature pictures of whales too, and I'd say that the reference to Playboy was because Ann Romney has a nice figure, while Moochelle's figure resembles a female cow (whale).

[moovova]

Its not funny only because Bill Maher didn’t tell it first.

[heartwood]

How was that joke racist?

You have to be old enough or have a sense of history. Before there was Playboy, there was National Geographic and the women of primitive tribes.

It WAS a racist joke. Vulgar and inappropriate too - why should women who don’t sell their bodies be discussed appearing naked, and this in front of children?

[Cowboy Bob]

I thought comedians (which would include Rodeo clowns) got a pass on “racist” jokes. After all, that's what I've always heard after a Liberal comedian says something offensive. Bill Mahr always comes to mind...

[zencycler]

Oh please, just pick any prominent conservative woman - Palin, Bachman, Malkin, etc. - and I’m sure we can compile a much longer list of tasteless jokes made at their expense, with references much more objectionable than this.

[Slings and Arrows]

*rimshot*

[9YearLurker]

Actually I think this is an example where the comment was racist.

[Lazamataz]

It does feel a bit squatchy. It's a squatchy joke. I don't like it cuz of all the squatch.

Squatch.

[Nea Wood]

That’s actually a better joke! He should have used your punchline instead!

[Tuanedge]

One of those conundrums where I have to say the joke made me laugh, but I don’t feel comfortable repeating it.

If I’m uncomfortable telling the joke to black friends then I won’t share it with white friends either...an dats the name of dat tune
