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."

121. # 123 &124 You think I do not think for myself because I do not agree with you right!!

Sorry for ya!! You too have a nice trip, perhaps France would be lovely. You do not have to worry about standing up for anything there.
Have a nice trip. I have a feeling no matter where you live, who you live with or where you shop or eat nothing is right. Yes France will be great.

122. #131 - No, it is obvious that you don't think for yourself because all of your posts parrot tthe favorite slogans, expressions and targets of the Bush administration and their cronies at Fox News. I respect that you chose military service, but what you have chosen to express here pretty much shows that you are a mindless drone. Again, not planning on going anywhere, sad for you that even the people who disagree with you or even the government are still Americans! But, as far as your travels go, please do check back in and let us know how everything is going on your next tour of duty in Iraq, ok?

Last time I looked this was America. Home of the "Freedom of Speech" Have we become so thin skinned that when asked for an opinion set you up for all this negative ridicule. Mr. Rock has a right to his opinion.

I did read the article it's not quoted correctly here. He also said it again when asked last week on the View.

I won't say Bush is a retard, but what do you call a civil servant for the people when they
obviously aren't listening to what the people want?

Can we all just get along?

124. Really, when you stop to think about about it, comedians are even worse than terrorists. Social commentary that provides aid and comfort to America's enemies should be punishable by death. Actually, having any opinion at all that offends anyone should really punished quite harshly. Perhaps we can amend the constitution?

125. Although, the person who coined the term "freedom fries" should be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

126. Why is everyone so excited about Chris Rocks comments? Turn your television on and watch the rest of the world do it too. Someone called him a third rate comic, if he was third rate would we be hearin about what he said, somehow I doubt that. This is just my opinion, I think overall celebrities should not comment on politics. I love Chris Rock, he is very funny, but he should not talk about politics at all. I don't care who he votes for or anything else about his personal life. He is just a funny guy, lets relax,, and get over it. Move on, why is everyone trying so hard to read so much into things.

127. It boggles the mind just how badly the Republican machine has you all brainwashed. From the idiotic notion that the Democrats want the United States to lose the war on terror, to the equally foolish idea that global warming is a fiction, even as it comes out that the Bush administration has pressured NASA scientists to alter their data to support the Bush view, you are all a totalitarian's dream. Just out of curiousity, where do you get your news from? In any case, you should keep sleeping. By the time you wake up, you won't even recognize the country that you are living in.
