Specter shows questionable taste (ethinic jokes)

Specter did this only for the sake of political expediency. Pennsylvanians like insults. I can’t imagine anyone being anymore insulting to them than Murtha was, along with Obama (gun clingers and ferner haters). Specter may want to throw “mouth-breathing rednecks” or “brainless gibbons” in next time to make sure all the bases are covered.

THIS is why the Republicans are the minority party. Our politicians are just so out of touch with the American people. Who can relate to this old fool?

Just like Dingy Harry complaining about how the tourists smell. Who would say such a thing? They are all nuts and we need term limits or a revolution to clean up this mess.

Actually, the Federal government is proving unworkable. Let's return to strong STATE government and forget about the clown show in Washington.

Notice how Congress couldn't deal with the auto bailout and how they gave Paulsen and friends a blank check for &700 billion that the stinky taxpayers will have to re-pay? Why do we need this crap anymore????

Dissolve the Federal government before its too late! We once tossed out a king because that didn't work. Its getting to be time to do the same thing with this joke as well.

Don Rickles still tells them, and he just won an Emmy, given out by the better-than-we Hollywood crowd.

bada bing!

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Well, mine is.

[SERKIT]

That will cause an uproar only if you are perceived as an up and coming Republican force to be reckoned with.

And THAT is CERTAINLY not an apt description of Our Loon Sphincter.

...Sen. Arlen Specter R-PA...

They got the party affiliation out of the way in the first sentence.

Speaking of senile senaturds, I wonder how many more of them fit that category? A whole pee pot full, I’d wager.

[decimon]

What’s long, yellow and hangs from trees?

It will come to that. There are States that will not put up with our New Ruler. Buy guns and ammo while you can, because it's going to hit the fan soon.

Thanks. Please post a list of the states and the names of a few good local realtors!

There was a movement a few years back where all of the Libertarians were supposed to move to New Hampshire or South Carolina and get elected so that they controlled the government. I wonder what happened? N.H. went for the Obominable One!!!

How do you tell the bride and groom at a Polish wedding?
They’re the ones wearing the clean bowling shirts.

[dfwgator]

Specter is a dupek.

[org.whodat]

LOL, I was in the military with several good old polish men, if you didn't tell them a joke now and then they thought you were mad at them.

[Ronin]

I’ve never personally known one Pole who got upset at Polish jokes. All the ones I’ve known have had extremely thick skins and great senses of humor.

Great folks.

[duckman]

What do you call 10 Poles wearing turbans? A Pack-of-Stanleys.

[ViLaLuz]

Hillary told jokes about Indians and 7-11s and got a pass.

[Clemenza]

I'm half-Polish, and have never had any members of my family get offended by such jokes.

The jokes have their roots in the turn of the century, when semi-literate country bumpkins from Poland poured into the country. They have lost their sting, IMHO. Let's also not forget that the median IQ in Poland is 114, higher than the US. The reason Poland isn't as wealthy as it should be is due to various cultural and historical factor that several books could be written on.

Now, let me go look for my Bapscia's recipe for ice cubes...

[PghBaldy]

They probably dress better in NYC.

[Humble Servant]

Was that a blonde joke or a joke about Poles?
