Tasteless Jokes?

Here is what David Feherty wrote in a Dallas magazine recently:

"If you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Osama Bin Laden, there's a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and Bin Laden would be strangled to death."

Some people (in the liberal media) don't think it's funny; personally I think its not only funny, but very likely true!

This “joke” is being compared to “tasteless” Wanda Sykes jokes about Rush Limbaugh at the Press Banquet in Washington DC:

"Rush Limbaugh hopes the country fails? I hope his kidneys fail, how 'bout that?"

Ha Ha Ha, only I would have said:

"Nancy Polosi hopes the Republicans fail? I hope her kidneys fail, how 'bout that?"

Or how about when Sykes said:

"You know, you might want to look into this, [President Obama], because I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker, but he was just so strung out on OxyContin he missed his flight. ...

I would have said:

"You know, you might want to look into this, [President Obama], because I think maybe Nancy Peloski was the 20th hijacker, but she was just holding out for a private plane so she missed her flight. ...


Tasteless? Perhaps a bitter taste, but ... I think the jokes were funny at the Press banquet AND everywhere else. After all political humor isn't really funny unless there is a ring of truth in it and perhaps a bitter taste, don't you think?

How about: The way things are going in Japan, you would think the PM just sits around on his Aso all day reading manga (comic books).
