07/15/2004: The Whoopi brouhaha....
According to an AP report Whoopi's offense was "us[ing the President's] surname as a sexual reference". I assume as a reference to the female pudenda.
Well, I won't pick on the Chimpanzee in Chief here and now. However, it does remind me of a time when George Carlin was picking on his dad, in a similar way:
I also look at war itself a little differently from most. I see it largely as an exercise in dick-waving. That's really all it is: a lot of men standing around in a field waving their dicks at one another. Men, insecure abuot the size of their penises, choose to kill one another.
That's also what all that moron athlete bullshit is all about, and what that macho, male posturing and strutting around in bars and locker rooms represents. It's called 'dick fear.' Men are terrified that their dicks are inadequate, and so they have to 'compete' in order to feel better about themselves. And since war is the ultimate competition, essentially men are killing one another in order to improve their genital self-esteem.
You needn't be a historian or a political scientist to see the Bigger Dick Foreign Policy Theory at work. It goes like this: 'What? They have bigger dicks? Bomb them!' And of course, the bombs, the rockets, and the bullets are all shaped like penises. Phallic weapons. There's an unconscious need to project the national penis into the affairs of others. It's called 'fucking with people'
So as far as I'm concerned, that whole thing in the Persian Gulf was nothing more than one big dick-waving cockfight.
In this particular case, Saddam Hussein questioned the size of George Bush's dick. And George Bush had been called a wimp for so long--wimp...rhymes with limp--he apparently felt the need to act out his manhood fantasies by sending America's white children to kill other people's brown children.
Clearly the worst kind of wimp.
Even his name, 'Bush', as slang, is related to the genitals without being the genitals.
A bush is sort of a passive, secondary sex characteristic. It's even used as a slang term for women: 'Hey, pal, how's the bush in this area?'
I can't help thinking, if this president's name had been George Boner...well, he might have felt a little better about himself, and he wouldn't have had to kill all those children. Too bad he couldn't locate his manhood.

God, I love Carlin. Don't agree with his political opinion on the War, but he's so right. It's all about being the Alpha Male and getting all the p.
As for "Whoopsie" G. let me see if I have this right. She wanders out on a stage and makes some drunk, ill-considered political remarks. Some other folks hear about it and make their own political remarks to someone she does business with. They, in turn, decide not to do business with her. She's right for expressing *her* opinions, but *others* are wrong for expressing theirs? Yeah, OK....
You know you've hit home when media folks bitch at you for hitting their sources of income. That's why the nets ignore the letters they receive from viewers but freak out when someone announces a sponsor boycott.
Boohoohoo....
