Well that's the whole thing about humor I guess.  I know a lot of folks that find Huggy's guy Jim Carrey to be outrageously funny, and I find him to be idiotic.  That's why I say it's much ado about nothing.   What's funny to some is not funny to others.  IMHO what Trent Lott said about respecting the old guy was less "offensive" than this joke, yet they demanded his resignation.

Well you are in pretty good company... Sean Hannity defended her too, last night.

I still say that it wasn't that funny. And I am about as un-PC as you can get.
I wasn't offended by the "joke", I just thought she looked stupid trying to tell it.

The thing is...10 years ago, before we became so "sensitive" the joke would have been funny.  The only reason it wasn't funny was because it made fun of a minority group in the US.  If the same type of joke would have been made about white males it would have been uproariously funny.  God, I hate to be put in the position to defend Hillary, that's usually your job.

I thought the funny part was watching Hillary *trying* to be funny.
Like the black guy said last night on FOX.... "If you are not very
funny then you shouldn't be telling jokes."

I actually thought her joke was amusing.  But then I'm not fond of political correctness in the first place.  Jokes by their very nature are going to offend someone.  People need a sense of humor.  Heck I've been the butt of jokes all my life.
