Wrong, (although it does confirm that the wife is no Jackie Mason, whose timing and judgment are impeccable (notwithstanding Ed Sullivan), who manages to use ethnic humor with a certain benign benevolence and intelligence).
The wife's ethnic "joke" in fact also confirms the following:
- (1) The wife does, indeed, tell ethnic "jokes."
- (2) The premise (i.e., the little missus doesn't do ethnic jokes)
of the husband's 'argument' (i.e., the little missus doesn't do ethnic jokes--> she doesn't do vicious ethnic slurs)
was, therefore, a lie. - (2) The premise (i.e., the little missus doesn't do ethnic jokes)
- In fact, if you bother to play hillary talks: On Ethnic Slurs...
(viewing movie requires Flash Player 6, available HERE)- you will find that the couple's entire defense of her anti-Semitic slur was based on lies, that not only does the wife tell ethnic jokes, she also reflexively utters vicious anti-Semitic, racial and other slurs.
- According to her friends, colleagues and even her hagiographer, hillary clinton is in a 'perpetual state of anger' and attack, that her principal modus operandi is the degradation of others.
- (3) Forget president. This is hardly the judgment, the intelligence or the temperment required of a senator.
Jackie Mason's Finger Gesture - On the October 18, 1964 installment of THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW, as comedian Jackie Mason concluded his comedy routine he noticed some off-stage finger gestures from Ed Sullivan's indicating that his time was winding down. According to Mason, he jokingly took the moment to comment on the signs by saying "and here's a finger for you, and one for you..." Ed Sullivan thought that the glib finger joke reference was actually a case of Jackie Mason giving him the "finger" on-the-air. Outraged, Ed Sullivan barred Jackie Mason from any further appearances on his program. The controversy over the "finger" damaged Mason's career. He retaliated with a libel suit in the New York Supreme Court and won. They had viewed his performance and found "nothing offensive." However, the influence that Sullivan possessed relegated Jackie Mason to "show-business-limbo" forcing him to work in outlying Catskill mountain resorts and related second-hand entertainment establishment. Years later, Jackie Mason resurfaced in a successful Broadway Tony Award winning one-man show and in the short-lived sitcom CHICKEN SOUP/ABC/1989.
