Rock to Bush: You're a "Retard!"

Chris RockChris Rock thinks George W. Bush is a retard.

In the latest issue of Life magazine, featuring Chris on the cover, Rock is asked, "Is this country ready for an African American president?" Rock answered, "It's ready for a retarded president, why wouldn't it be ready for an African American president?" Oh no he didn't!

Rock went on to say that he likes Al Gore, and that he doesn't expect to see a black president in his lifetime.

The comedian, doing publicity for "I Think I Love My Wife," also took the opportunity to quash persistent rumors that his marriage was in trouble. "My marriage is just like everybody else's," Rock said. "Great like everybody else's and whatever like everybody else's. Everything's fine."

16. Chris is correct about Bush, but I think that Obama has a real chance to win the next election.

17. Generally speaking, retarded people are no where near as evil as Bush and his cohorts. Let's get that straight.

19. I empathize with anyone who has a disease or defect of some sort, but to expect that everyone tailor their every utterance so as to not offend anyone, ever is a little bit absurd. I guess we have not done away with political correctness after all.

20. I think that President Bush is very smart. People underestimate him, and he gets everything he wants. Even with the democrats in charge, he STILL gets everything he wants. Most people can't see what he's doing because they don't understand his subtlety, but it's working.

It seems that the best way to get someone to notice you is to make a statement that is supposed to be outrageous and disrespectful of the leaders of the country.

This is why most young people have no respect for anything or anybody. Thanks Chris. Join the ranks of Rosie. BTW, I have NEVER thought you were funny. Richard Pryor was funny. Your 15 minutes are winding down.

23. My husband flew a fighter jet in vietnam. I knew many fighter pilots. Bush was one.. Chris, I know you have never been anywhere NEAR that kind of accomplishment. But listen, NO RETARDED PERSON EVER FLEW A FIGHTER, you hear me BOY?

Now take your big wide grinning mouth back to hollywood and crack your little jokes. If that is your value to the world, fine. You have every right to say what you like, and don't forget - people have fought and died for you to say it. I know many of them, and you ain't one.

24. "16. Chris Rock is an actor. I dont care what he thinks. If he was someone important like Michael Moore...oh...wait...I dont care what he thinks either...or Barbara Streisand...opps ...no...maybe Al Franken, Janeane Garofalo or Sean Penn...uh...no could care less what any of these complete ediots say. When is far left gonna quit looking up to these ediots and care what they think? Cant they make up their own minds...thats rhetorical...we all no they cant. Actors are one morons who have no grasp of reality.

Shawna,

I trust you were not a supporter of Reagan, then.

Arnold Schwarzenegger probably doesn't rate with you, I guess.

And, Fred Thompson won't get your vote, either.

You must find Dennis Miller untrustworthy as well.




Do you have a valid point to make ?

25. Hey guys, Chris said something like this once before, my friends and I have been known to call similar words jokes. For you idiots to get your panties in twist over a joke means that you are retards like that G.W. Bush person

28. Chris Rock hates developmentally disabled people! No wonder everybody hates Chris.

Not surprised by TMZ's light-handed piece on Rock's affront to the disabled,. "Ret@rd" is hardly PC. TMZ obviously hates developmentally disabled people, too!

Man alive. If Ann Coulter ever called any illiberal a "ret@rd", the shit would hit the fan and TMZ would be all over Ann's ass, calling her out. Rock does it and TMZ thinks it's just ducky.

It seems TMZ has fallen victim to the pandemic Bush Derangement Syndrome, where anything goes as long as it makes Bush look bad. Illiberals are, after all, notorious for their mean, nasty dispositions and have long had no concept of self-censorship, or compassion, when it comes to their narrow and twisted view of the world.

Kudos, TMZ. Glad Rock helped you show your true colors.

29. Chris Rock just gave me the best laugh I've had all day! That's some funny shit. What's even funnier are all the Republicans on this board that are all in a tizzy over it!! LOL LOL LOL Bush IS retarded!

30. I'm with Michelle (#13)'s comment. My brother has down syndrome and I'm so sick and tired of people getting so sensitive about the N word, any homosexual putdowns or the like, yet ANYONE and EVERYONE uses the word "retard", "retarded", or jokes about "the short bus" all the time. If everyone wants to be sensitive abou the others, they should be sensitive about this too!

And quite frankly, I still am of the mindset that celebrities are in the spotlight to act, tell jokes, sing, etc. KEEP YOUR PERSONAL VIEWS TO YOURSELF!
