Sir Goob is online now

Meh. Dunno about “epic”. Interesting, and glad she is on Israel’s side.

Better link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-5Q7yuaXjM

Apparently she’s 81 & healthy, too.

This rant (which I totally agree with) didn’t include “Can we talk?” or “Oh, please!” or “Grow up!”

Unscripted & from the heart. Almost profanity-free, too.

No she always been a Republican, but good for her for speaking out in support of Israel and saying Obama is gay and Michelle is a Tranny LOL

Fair enough. Thanks.

The best comment is what she said about Selena Gomez..LOL yeah a college grad LOL

I understand your point. It’s unbelievable how many Jews contribute to enemies of Israel/Jews.

She better have body guards!

I super enjoyed watching that. Thanks for sharing it.

Wow even Paul Shaffer, I thought he was a Democrat due to being a sidekick to that grouchy old man David Letterman.

Damn, Joan Rivers and TMZ doing something I like in the same moment? What are the chances?

Rivers got it right. TMZ both tossed the softballs (intentional or not), and then aired it.

Perhaps the first time I’ve seen a (so called) celebrity get it this right on an issue concerning Israel.

Thank you Joan Rivers!

Yes, some surprises in there. I couldn’t fine a more current list but I didn’t look too hard either.

(She called Obama gay and Michelle a Tranny

I hope in the largest possible forum.

As we can see, a lot of those people are now dead.

Apparently she’s 81 & healthy, too.

Which proves that plastic surgery is good for you. Where do I sign up?

Perhaps she’s morphing into the next Jackie Mason.

I’ve always loved her, the whole Carson thing broke my heart.

What if Germany rained rockets into London? Did it. Done that. What did Great Britain do?

Before I answer that, here is a fact: During 1940-1945 some 60,000 British civilians were killed by German Nazi aerial bombings (43,000 from September 1940 to May 1941).

What did Great Britain do? The British RAF dropped over 10,000 tons of bombs on Brunswick and Duisburg. 2,500 civilians were killed in Duisburg alone. That is just two cities. I did not have time to research more of the British retaliation. However, history is a strict teacher, which is something the typical college grad has no clue.

Middle East and terrorism, occasional political and Jewish issues Ping List. High Volume If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Cheers for Joan of the Ark with her size 34 long breastplate (or something like that, re. a joke she once told)!

For defense of Israel nothing will ever top this....
