"MC Rove" rap is humor 15 years past its sell-by date (conservative humor)
Why don't conservatives know how to be funny?

2. that was about the most unfunny thing i've ever seen, Rove has no personality and no
sense of humor at all.

4. Good question.
I think the only funny conservative that comes to mind is the writer, P.J. O'Rourke. What kills me about these events is all the Kissee face and back slapping that goes on with the politicians and the press.

7. Because humor done well
entails the ability to relate to others on a fundamental level. Republicans generally lack this ability.

10. I have what I consider a pretty well-developed sense of humor, and
I can laugh at all sorts of stuff, even the really non-PC, downright offensive stuff. But this shit really, really bothered me. Maybe because I am very tuned in to the war and the news lately, but the video was hard to watch, especially with the new issue of Newsweek sitting on my counter.

11. Propaganda in general isn't funny.
There's no stopping the rw spin machine from pressing on its agenda so if jokes are to be made at anyone's expense then the rule is to never use itself as a target. Ever.

18. I would not have sex with any repug on the planet if they were the last man on earth,
as God is my witness.

(My husband once slept on the couch for merely saying that Bush was wearing a nice tie.)

14. It was never fiunny: racist minstrel shows aren't funny
Note to MOST over-40 white guys: DO NOT yuck it up pretending to be an MC. In fact, resist the urge to perform any mimetic operation with respect to hip hop culture, period.



Do not try to use the slang. You'll get it wrong and sound like an ignorant jackass.
Do not use the hand gestures. You'll make yourself look like a racist imbecile.
Do not rock the mic.

AND please please please please please, do not at any time attempt to

1) dance
2) groove
3) pop (including any variation of the worm)
4) get up a-get-get-get-down
5) pimp limp
6) hustler stroll

DO NOT, under any circumstances, chicka-chicka nod ya head ta this. And please note, with respect to the Mashed Potato, that, as Ice Cube once noted, that ole shit been played out back in nineteen sixty seven.

It's just racist and embarrassing. Not like 'offensive' racist. Not like separate water fountains racist. Just weird and sad and embarrassing racist, you know? Like your fifty year old white middle class uncle pretending to have a mic in hand and starting out with "My name is Gary and I'm here to say..." and then going into some human beat box routine racist. Gnaw mean? Just clueless and pathetic and thoroughly not cool like dat racist.

You ain't down by law. So just. Fucking. Stop it.

20. It should be funny.....
just to watch all of those stuffed-shirts make complete and utter asses of themselves, but there's something profoundly disturbing about it. Gives me the heebie-jeebies...
