One thing truly bothers me about today’s debacle concerning Roseanne and her tweetstorm.
She is rightly being raked over the coals for her racist and mysogonic post regarding Valerie Jarrett and her being a cross between a Muslim and an ape.
But when Bill Maher suggested that Trump’s mother fucked an ourangatan 3 years ago, I don’t recall an outcry here about the mysoginy. His staff even created a new category of comedy bit called “Explaining Jokes to Idiots”.
I understand that there was no racism on Maher’s part, but are the two truly that different? I think I can defend his to some degree, but aren’t we truly splitting our hairs awfully fine these days?
I have a feeling Bill is gonna be happy he has this week off.
