Chelsea Handler said political correctness isn't working for Americans.
In a op-ed written for The Daily Beast, the 40-year-old comedian said she sat down with representatives from the Media Action Network for Asian Americans, the Anti-Defamation League, the NAACP, the National Hispanic Media Coalition, American Indians in Film & Television and the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
"We had an honest discussion about whether or not it's funny, appropriate, helpful, or hurtful to traffic in ethnic, racial, and religious stereotypes," Handler said.

She is the nastiest of them all. Can’t stand her.

Billy’s chickens are gonna come home to roost. Hillary standing by him, will ruin her. Not that she needs the help. That Ben Gazi guy is her Monica. Well, and Huma.

Unfunny liberal talking points. The Daily Show in a night club.
Good then it is Trump / Rickles 2016 !
That is really funny if you have ever heard that album...
That make me . . . uncomfortable. I’m reporting you to HR.
I'll have vote for Guilty.

99% of men over forty look like crap too.
Take a walk through any town. Tell me that the women there, doing their grocery shopping look hot.
Also, the white balance of most TV lights would make people look cyanotic without make up. The “stars” are all “pretend.”
PC isn’t freedom. It’s unAmerican.
But it's no act.
She really IS drunk all the time.
Ha ha. What a hoot.
SO clever.
Can't believe she's a multi-millionaire based on such pathology.
