#1 In that is true then Manhattan needs a seriouuuuus cleaning. And those who find that funny too.

BTW, That woman hasn't heard about Second Amendment.

#2 Her and Margaret Cho, staying classy as always. (No, I'm not providing a link to Cho. You don't wanna see it anyway. Trust me on this.)

#3 The left is just sick. Sick to the point of needed put down. Seriously. Our Republic is doomed if they get in power.

#4 Didn't we have a discussion yesterday that the left lacks any real sense of humor? [First indication is the absolute inability to take self deprecating jabs at one's own foibles].

#6 Sandra Bernhard is still alive?

#7 "[The gang rape comment] is part of a much larger, nuanced, and yes, provocative (that's what I do) piece from my show about racism, freedom, women's rights and the extreme views of Governor Sarah Palin, a woman who doesn't believe that other women should have the right to choose," Bernhard told the Daily News today.

So people pay to see this shit? I guess times aren't as tough as we thought.

#8 Sandra Bernhard!?
That snaggle-toothed bitch couldn't get gangraped in a turkish prison. Give me a break. The left has lost it's mind.

#9 I didn't realize she was still alive until today.

#10 Yeah, I mean, Sarah Bernard, why, she must be real old by now!

#11 Judging from all accounts, Sarah B., herself, would be pretty safe. Even gang-bangers have minimum standards.

#12 Must be part of her Shtick. Bernhard is really an impersonator who impersonates a comedian.

#13 I have never understood why Sandra Bernhard is a celebrity. Her writing is poor. Her acting is attrocious. Her "singing" will set dogs howling.

She, like Paris Hilton, seems like someone who is famous for being famous. But without the looks.

#14 if the mug shot is any sort of accurate reflection of the inner person, then that would be enough to make a freight train take a dirt road. unable to open the link, computer timed out. probably just as well.

#15 If this moved in next door to you, your lawn would die.

As Rodney would say: "Now you know why tigers eat their young".

#16 Mayb Sandra should take her show on the road. Then she could find out for herself how humorous and uplifting people find it in Alaska. Lotta yuks, I'm sure. The elites in Manhatten and Hollywood and other progressive areas seem nearly as out of touch with the down home folks as the French aristrocracy were in 1790.

#17 Wonder if Obama might consider this comment a little racist.

#18 So if she said Michelle Obama would be gang raped by skinheads in Queens that would've been what? Edgy? Provocative? Nuanced?
Lemme know...

#19 I have never understood why Sandra Bernhard is a celebrity

Her scene name is close to Sarah Bernard, a Frencg actress from pre-WWI, probably the most well known French actress in all time.

#20 The comment is racist and sexist. If she only added religion, say gang raped by black Muslims, she could have had the triple crown. Every horse-face should aim for the triple crown.

#21 People actually pay to listen to this idiot?

#22 There is a remarkable strain of common origin in the demographics of left-wing entertainers and media personalities.

Many of these people, including the most vicious, are not typically urban elitists looking down on the little people in flyover country. They are typically hinterland elitists, children of the local gentry out in fly-over country itself, trying to differentiate themselves from their origins.

Bernhard, for example, is the daughter of a proctologist from Flint, Michigan, as middle-American as you can get. (The detestable Michael Moore, aka Lumpy Riefenstahl, was also from Flint).
Dan Rather, similarly, was from a small town in east Texas. His colleague Scott Pelley is from Lubbock.

We all remember the semi-rich kid in high school whose father was a doctor or lawyer or local paymaster, and who could afford trips to Europe and such. They were the kids who focused on drama and journalism, confident their trust funds would see them through if they failed in their high-risk artistic endevours. They were hungry, not for food, but for status in the big world daddy's ill-gotten small town loot had allowed them to glimpse, for escape from the constricted world of their birth.

Some of them actually achieve the success they crave, a few out of millions. Once at the top, their hostility is focused on their own roots, since it was that hostility that drove them to the top of the media pyramid in the first place.

To be fair, many of the media elitists really were born to it; Keith Olbermann for example is rich kid from Westchester County NY; but it is the status-seekers from back-of-beyond who set the tone and put the savage predatory edge on media activism.

#23 Bernhard, for example, is the daughter of a proctologist how appropriate.

#24 Even us loyal MADONNA FANS are duly entitled to be perplexed now and then.

#25 Well, Joe, IIRC Sandra was really into Madonna more than nearly all the other fans.

#26 AC's rant also describes uber moonbat Ted Rall, who has basically said that anyone who doesn't leave their small town For NY or LA is a racist fascist submoron.

Kinda like BHO's vision of clingy and bitter, but with more anger.
