67. I just listened to this and was expecting much worse
by what I had read on here. She was using whore not as a descriptor for someone who has sex for money or even as a derogatory word for a woman, but as someone who will sell themselves to the highest bidder. Politicians do that. And people call politicians whores all the time. This can't be the first time you've heard this. I hear it on the radio and television all the time. Secondly, the phrase "the left's David Duke" is hyperbole. It's a device used a lot in comedy. I believe she meant that literally as much as I believe that David Cross "I would rather hear the death rattle of my only child than listen to that ".

If she was speaking at the United Nations and said that the context would be different and you guys could be offended, but she was in a nightclub doing a comedy act. chill out.
