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."

I submit that your daughter is only challenged because of her mom's ignorance. NO mom of any special needs kid would say something as hateful as you did.

As for Rock, i doubt he could do any better a job. President Bush was handed a crap sandwhich right from the beginning. I'm just glad when push came to shove he wasnt getting a bj!

33. Yeah X...my point is actors are retarded....and obviously so are you. When did Dennis Miller run for office? All of those ( sans Miller ) have tried to do something constructive instead of crying and whining about how injust the US is while they sit in their multi-million dollar homes and drives their Hummers around Beverly Hills.

36. Chris Rock likes Al Gore! Who would have guessed. He likes a democrat/liberal. I bet he even believes the bull shit about global warming too. One thing is for sure Chris Rock wants to be a star but just can't make it. His movies have sucked and other than his TV show thats it. He is no where near as funny as Pryer, Foxx, Cosby, Murphy, etc... He has his opion and thats what America is all about, but why is it when enetertainers support Republicans the media gives it no attention what so ever? And everyone knows that the dems will do all they can to keep us from winning the war, because they cn't afford for us to win they would lose what support they do have. And this Global Warming band wagon is going to cost us all in taxes and jobs in the end.

37. 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

38. Rock is an moron who would sell his kids to get a headline. Also, his eloquency is somewhat "bush" league. Finally, this guy wants everyone to think he grew up in the hood. Instead, he grew up in fine middle class neighborhood whose family resembles more Ozzie and Harriet than the Jeffersons.

39. The way I understand it Chris Rock (probably little or no education) just equated retardation and African Americans as equals.

41. Michelle,
You aren't talking to some illiterate hillbilly. I live in New York City, where satire, irony, and humor are understood. You can feel free to make as many antisemetic comments as you desire, but a comment meant to elict laughter at the President, NOT at anyone with developmental disabilities or birth defects doesn't exactly equate with racial prejudice or hate speech. Do you understand the difference? I'd bet not.

We do not have to be politically correct, as we don't live in a totalitarian society. Nor do we live in a culture that is conducted in such a way that everything needs to be written or spoken of as if directed at a child because somebody might be offended. As I said I empathize with anyone who lives or cares for someone with a disabillity, and I under stand your pain, but sorry, trading off freedom of speech to spare you just isn't a good enough trade off. Got that RETARD?!

42. #37~ be careful with your "Amen"- you might just offend the agnostics and all the people who want GOD out of everything! You know the ACLU might come down hard on you for that one!!!!! Because it seems as though you have to be black, gay, or foreign to have your rights respected!!!! Who cares about the handicapped!!! Who seem to have to fight harder than everyone else to get respect. Who cares that they need assistance "Pressing 1 for English" Is it me, or does this country have things backwards? Hell- if my "challenged" 18 yr old didn't have a social security number, she could get the new credit card from Bank of America! Maybe I should "wheel" her across the border, maybe then the government would be willing to help her more!!!!!

Whew Boy ! Where do I start with this one ?!


Shawna, you need to go back and read what you posted....

"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 ".

You made a blanket comment as to actors being morons. Do you stand by that ? Or, do you make exceptions if they are Republicans ? Or, are you suggesting the moment an actor runs for political office, they suddenly aren't ?

What does whether Dennis Miller ever ran for office got to do with anything ? I never said he did. So....huh ?

Now, the list of Republican actors turned pols was not an invite to open debate on how constructive one actor's life is over another. But, since you did, are you prepared to remove Al Franken from your list since he will be running for the Senate ?

Shawna, I called you on your assertion that actors are morons, and you chose to respond by moving the goal posts. As if that wasn't enough, you begin with hurling an insult that is being groused about here.

How can you be taken seriously ?
