It’s because…

From this angle…

When you look at it this way…

If…

Maybe…

If…

No. It’s not just not funny. It’s the opposite of funny.

It’s Sicktwistedmotherfuckerdom.

Okay, but at the risk of draining the non-existent humor from it anyway, would someone explain to me why the rape joke is even *supposed* to be funny?

democrats make fun of those above them in the food chain, usually to point out some problem.

republicans make fun of those below them in the food chain, to degrade them and keep them in their place. hence black jokes, dumb blonde jokes … and rape jokes. rape jokes are funny because they keep women in their place. yuck it up, everyone.

we also use language differently. democrats attach words to concepts and manipulate the words in order to reach some conclusion.

republicans use words as incantations, magic spells to throw at the enemy. after the gop got its throat ripped out in 2006, one of the attack blondes on fox told hannity that the gop needed to return to its core concepts like fiscal responsibility.

never mind that the gop is the most fiscally irresponsible party in human history, it was the orthodox incantation for the occasion. it didn’t have to make sense.

Really? No one wants to take a shot at explaining what was supposed to be teh funnee? I mean, it has to be a botched punchline, right? I got that same moment of vertigo from it that I did the time my brother explained to me about the swimming guy with no arms and no legs who was called Robert.

That way people can say “I’m voting for McCain.”

And you can say “Really? Rape Ape?” then explain the nickname.

Then you can throw in “He also once said he didn’t love his country.”

And they’ll say “War heroBZZZTTTTEEEEGGGGWWWWWWWTTZZZZZZAAAAAABBBZZZZZZZ”

And you’ll go off and bang your head on the nearest brick wall.

But you will have tried.

And isn’t that the real winning?

The answer, is no.

And Donald Douglas is a wingnut idiot. (Oops, that’s an oxymoron, isn’t it?)

No, it’s redundant. An oxymoron would be “Donald Douglas is an intelligent wingnut”.

As for McCain’s humorous repartee found in lines like “Bomb, Bomb, Iran,” well, there’s been a lot less analytical attention to McCain’s off-colorness than that of Obama’s elitist put-downs, like those of the bittergate controversy.

Whaaa?? Huh..?? Please tell me that that sentence makes absolutely no sense. And of course, you gotta love the idea that:

killing brown people = “humorous repartee”

That’s a real knee-slapper, alrighty.

FWIW, I’ve just about whittled my blog travels down to Tbogg, John Cole, and Sadly No! John Cole because his commenters are some of the most savage troll-slappers anywhere, and the other two because………… I gotta laugh, even though it’s not remotely funny.
