My wife and I met my best friend and his girlfriend (first we've met her) for dinner Saturday night and then we went to a comedy club-at a new upscale open air mall.
Warm up go was okay, a magician did a 5 minute skit, the headliners girlfriend ("Lana Turner") came out and sang some funny songs and was very funny, and then the headliner comes out....
It was Ralphie May the VERY large comedian who was on "Last Comic Standing". I saw his picture as we went in but didn't know who it was until he came on stage. I had seen a bit of him on TV--yeah very funny (change channel)--- and he was HILARIOUS. All four of us were absolutely losing it-funniest comedian I have seen on TV or live in a long time. Lots of stuff about race in America, anti-PC stuff.
So he gets to the part where he says he will have CD's DVD's for sale (usually followed by the last set of material) and he says that he went to Iraq on a USO tour (everyone applauds-his girlfriend had mentioned it too) and how the call came from the WhiteHouse. No joke for or against anyone and THEN-BAM! WE DID THE RIGHT THING IN IRAQ- WE BROUGHT THEM FREEDOM-I FLEW OVER MASS GRAVES OF 300,000-I HATE THE 9/11 COMMISSION THEY WASTED $48 MILLION OF
OUR MONEY-I'VE SEEN WORSE STUFF DONE AT PARTIES THAN AT ABU GARHIB............
My wife asked if we could leave. I said we should wait it out. Our friends were behind us (god awful uncomfortable ill-designed seating) and I didn't want to do anything to make them feel uncomfortable. Smatterings of applause-one piece of trash in front of us stood on her chair and clapped until we, others, and management told her to get down-several people left. We walked at the end and just looked at each other WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!??!?!?
If he was a political comedian fine but good lord that was totally out of place. I didn't pay to have RW Rush-speak screamed at me I paid for a comedy show.
