Kathy Griffin, Bill Maher...what is this, "National Everybody Get Stupid Week"?

1. It's the natural effect of anti-"current President"ism..

Happened w/ Obama and folks on the right.

The only difference is that the right isn't depending on folks that would be offended by violence and racism to win elections. Limbaugh dropping "house n*gger" and rwingers defending him isn't going to cost the republicans any votes. If the DNC mounted the defense of Maher that DU is, RIP national prospects.

2. I took it to mean they feel helpless, hopeless and afraid.

I'm not saying it wasn't stupid. I'm just saying I understand.

3. It's Not Even Just That He Said It

It's that he said it literally hours after Kathy got raked over the coals. Bill is not one to shy away from controversy, but having a brain fart like that, given Kathy's situation still being extremely fresh, is plain stupid.

4. People do strange things when they are pissed off.

5. Now come on

Don't you think that we have other problems that are miles ahead of both of these?

6. Didn't say these were the only things that mattered.

But it doesn't help, does it?

7. Nor did I

But we should get our priorities in order.
