Sandra Bernhard s anti-U.S. act

[NY.SS-Bar9]

July 24 — Call Sandra Bernhard America’s badwill ambassador. The comedian has taken her standup act to the U.K., where she’s regaling audiences by making light of 9/11, ridiculing stars like Billy Joel and Mariah Carey for their fund-raising efforts, razing Americans’ reactions to the tragedy, and calling George W. Bush, among other things, a “dunce.”

“THE INFRASTRUCTURE of America and the world is caving in, and George Bush is a figurehead of that,” Bernhard told an interviewer at the London Guardian. “I don’t think he’s an informed person, or intelligent, or interesting. I think he got waylaid into the job by his family, he’s in over his head, and he’s kind of a dunce.”

She has unkind words for U.S. citizens as well. “Americans are lazy. . . . They don’t have a concept of how the world interacts with America or how the world interacts with itself. . . . It’s a little scary to be in a country so detached from reality and so ready to buy into the propaganda that the enemy is out there lurking, ready to attack us again.”

Bernhard also played the States recently, but several shows were cancelled because of low attendance. In London, however, Bernhard performed to what one critic called “adoring audiences.”

Bernhard’s rep didn’t return calls for comment.

------> Let me guess. France is next on her itinerary? Then Belgium?

[rintense]

If the US sucks so much, you big-mouthed, horse-looking transvestite from Rocky Horrow, then why and the hell are you still living here? I dare you to take your blasphemous act on the road in the US and see how quickly you get your sorry a$$ bounced off stage and into oblivion just like George Michael.

[kinghorse]

Osama doesn't frighten me. This does.

[rintense]

That would be Horror... GRRRRRRR! Pretty sad when even Madonna kicks her sorry butt to the curb.

"Bernhard also played the States recently, but several shows were cancelled because of low attendance." That's a real surprise. Didn't book in the right places I suppose, such as Berkely or Ithaca. Incidentally her picture would make her appear to be an excellent candidate for Wiccan of the year.

[kinghorse]

The Americans are lazy swipe is bullcrap. Last time I looked American doesn't take the whole month of August off for "holiday". Europe does.

[Bikers4Bush]

Don't let the skank come back.

[Seruzawa]

he’s kind of a dunce

Now, there's the pot calling the kettle black.

[mattdono]

I was going to say, there is only one word for this person:

SKANK!

[isthisnickcool]

Someone is gonna post a picture of that skanky Sandra Bernhard. So, to offset that butt ugly lickety-splitter I give you BO:

[SpinyNorman]

She is a fine candidate for poster child for "Hideous lesbians: signs and symptoms."

Looks like she is going to bite end of that microphone off! The Freudian implications are endless.

[Bikers4Bush]

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[JessicaDragonet]

.....why in the hell are you living here?

"He's ugly and smelly but, hey......the money's great. NEXT!!!!

[Dakmar]

France is next on her itinerary? Then Belgium?

Belgium Doesn't Exist

[chiefqc]

Maybe she can't see what's going on around her because she has pubic hair blocking her eye teeth.

[KSCITYBOY]

Notice how these liberal idiots don't have the courage to say these things here. BTW when has she ever been funny?

[Doc-Joe]

Now I'm confused. I distinctly remember living in Belgium as a child. If it doesn't exist, from where do my memories originate?

[Dixie Mom]

The entertainment industry in America is caving in, and Sandra Bernhard is a figurehead of that. I don’t think she’s an informed person, or intelligent, or interesting. I think she got waylaid into the job by equally vapid and morally reprehensible characters that manage the entertainment industry. She’s in over her head, and to call her a dunce would be an insult to dunces everywhere.

Entertainers are lazy. . . . They don’t have a concept of how the world interacts with America or how the world interacts with itself. . . . It’s a little scary to think someone could be so detached from reality that she flatly refuses to believe that the enemy is out there lurking, ready to attack us again.

[Shermy]

It’s a little scary to be in a country so detached from reality and so ready to buy into the propaganda that the enemy is out there lurking, ready to attack us again.”

Send her some Osama videotapes. Second thought, that won't help.

[Dakmar]

If it doesn't exist, from where do my memories originate?

Possibly implanted by extra-terrestrials working in conjuction with the UN. Do you recall riding in a black helicopter with David Rockefeller?

Here's the world interacting with itself. I'm sure it's just propaganda, though. Sandy knows better, after all.

[Consort]

[Exeter]

My thoughts exactly, dennisw. The people in London applaud Bernhard for the same reason the French think that Jerry Lewis is a comic genius. Both are simply certifying their prejudicial opinions of us uncivilized, boorish Americans. But wait until the next time someone has to pull their cajones out of the fire, and see who they run to...

[Chi-townChief]

Bernhard must be what passes for comedy over there in Merrie Olde England.

[canuckwest]

Just another angry lesbian resorting to sensationalism in order to get some attention. A roomful of adoring Brit lesbians does not a superstar make. Soon she will be off to Germany complaining about what a shithole the U.K. is.

Heh.  And George W. Bush.

"I dare you to take your blasphemous act on the road in the US and see how quickly you get your sorry a$$ bounced off stage and into oblivion

Isn't she the boob-bumper that kissed Roseanne Barr on Barr's sitcom a few years back? Caused a big hubbub?

[subterfuge]

"I dare you to take your blasphemous act on the road in the US and see how quickly you get your sorry a$$ bounced off stage and into oblivion"

OOps! HTML challenged I guess! 8-)

[rintense]

Not sure. I never watched Rosanne. Wouldn't surprise me though. She's a publicity opportunist and will seek it no matter if it's good or bad. Typical Hollywood liberal.

[gc4nra]

Any FReeper talent agents out there who could get her a nice tour of the middle east?

[Joan912]

You mean she actually makes a living entertaining people? I've never seen her exhibit even a hint of talent. Do us a favour, Miss GapTooth, stay across the ocean for good. Maybe Madonna will rent you a room...

[Alabama_Wild_Man]

"...They don’t have a concept of how the world interacts with America or how the world interacts with itself..."

Well then, let's get her a 'gig' with the U.N.
....on their 'Standing Army'....

..As A Target !! !! !!
