He’s so cute I want to kick him in the teeth. Why is it always the ones born with the silver spoon in their mouths (like Sacha here) or with money flying out their butt (like Bono) that must tell us regular folk that we need to give more.
Hey Bono! Hey commie son of former commie PM! Give until you are one of us regular folk. Then try and spew your ideals. I dare ya!
Yes, one does wonder where Sacha might stand on disbursing his share of his father’s fortune as part of “some mechanism for the distribution of wealth, for example, for the welfare of the unfortunate.”
Great. Now I have this mental image of money flying out of Bono’s butt and into Sasha’s mouth. Thanks, Brian!!
Never an avalanche around when ya need one.
Hey, all he did was ask, and then he let Yakovlev’s answer speak for itself. “Pat him on the head” sounds like a much more appropriate response than wishing his brother’s death on his head.
You mean his brother, Justin Timberlake?
Laura, if you don’t think that’s funny, then… THE TALIBAN HAVE WON!!!
Outside of the deliciously mean-spirited aspect of her remark, there’s something ironic in thinking it crosses a line – considering this twit is advocating the return of communist policies to a country in which millions perished under them.
There’s a difference between “advocating” and “asking”. Trudeau asked about the return of some communist policies, and then published the answer: a quiet but resounding “No.”
The Right once again elevates mean-spiritedness to a virtue. No surprise there. Imagine being as pleased with oneself as Shaidle for coming out with that sort of “quip.” What a rich inner life she must have.
But, if you want an equally good example, how about her mocking the notion that the NBA’s ban on players’ bling-bling is racist (which it clearly is) and then going that extra mile:
“Inevitably, some dumbwit says, ‘What about those Enron crooks who wore suits?’, a line he no doubt picked up from a pal who at least finished college. Cuz ya know, the worst thing about Enron was all those overdressed execs shooting little kids in drive-bys.”
The clear implication is that the NBA players to whom Whitey’s dress-code now applies have been…why, shooting little kids in drive-bys. Oh, it wasn’t them? It was somebody else? I guess it’s not Shaidle’s fault that they all look alike, eh?
I’m proud to say that MY FATHER never tooled around town in full Nazi regalia. Funny how my ancestors had the smarts to leave Ukraine because Stalin was killing them, yet P.E.T. and his demon spawn want to embrace communism. WTF?
I’m not surprised, given that none of the Trudeus ever had to put in an honest days work in their lives. Silver spoons.
Not unlike Paul Martin whereby he preaches socialism to the masses, yet it was the capitalist system that awarded him his fortunes.
I don’t think wishing an avalanche on his pointy commie head is wrong.
He’s argueing FOR more death, destruction, and oppression on all Russians.
What a piece of crap, the mainstream left in this country are insane!
“There’s a difference between “advocating” and “asking”.
Here’s another “difference” for the lefty,PC, faux offended ,… Kathie is… “joking” in wishing a misfotune like an avalanche that could conceivably kill you.
Hilarious ! thanks Kathie
That’s “different” because, Spawn of Satan is… “not joking” when he wishfully voices his hopes commie’s become cool again !!!
Sorry Kathy, not Kathie.
No disrespect intended
Dr. Dawg’s “clear implication” actually never occured to me. But then, I’m not a cowardly anonymous blogger with no sense of humour, like he is. Isn’t it weird how they take everything to its illogical extreme?
My meaning is clear to anyone with a brain: the tired old “What about Enron and other white collar criminals, huh?” saw we constantly hear from the Free Mumia crowd overlooks the fact that a) the Enron folks are now behind bars and their company destroyed, as it should be in a free market, capitalist country which recognizes the rule of law
b) the people most hurt by Enron were the greedy, instant gratification investors who (helpfully illustrating the concept of Original Sin) violated every rule of investing (such as don’t put all your money in one stock) and lost everything, as they desrved to, and
c) for all their many crimes, the Enron execs _didn’t_ kill anybody/sell anyone crack/make really bad rap “music”/name their kids ‘LawShawnDa’ and commit other much more serious crimes against humanity.
These are the same people who ask me why I don’t make fun of Christian fanatics as much as I make fun of Muslim fanatics. This ignores the fact that
a) everybody else (including Dr Dawg, Rick Mercer, Margaret Atwood and the entire Law & Order franchise) makes fun of Christian fanatics, leaving me little fresh material to work with,
b) I have made fun of Christian fanatics in the past (see Google Cache) and
c) Christian fanatics are not _trying to kill me_/get me to wear a burka/worship Allah, which I just happen to think is a bigger deal than whether or not Spongebob is gay.
Oddly enough.
They remind me of my grandma, who was known to muse: “You know, they’d score more points if they’d just take that man with the mask out of that net…”
And since he didn’t get the memo: Dawg, the “mean-spirited” charge is sooooo Clinton/VRWC/1998. At least come up with a fresh new “insult”. Being called mean-spirited or racist by someone like you just confirms my own sense of rightness for another day. You’re just making it worse for yourself and so much better for me. Give up.
Speaking of commie spawn of the rich, check out the background of Seth (Centre for Policy Alternatives) & Naomi Klein.
They have about as much in common with their beloved ‘working people’ as Osama has with Paris Hilton.
“But, if you want an equally good example, how about her mocking the notion that the NBA’s ban on players’ bling-bling is racist (which it clearly is)”
Whaaat?
Dawg, are you on *the* drugs???
Come now, serway, we all know Dawg to be the greatest scientific mind of our time, and he’s certainly told us that often enough. He’s obviously isolated the bling gene, and can prove that black people are helplessly compelled by the brute power of their racial inheritance to wear jewellery. I expect he’ll get a Nobel prize for that.
