Regarding Egypt, Dave joked that part of the reason they wanted Murak gone was that his first name was Hosni.

I didn't find that funny, but I overlooked it. I didn't forget it. Just chose to overlook it.



Tonight, he does a Gaddafi (or however it is spelled in English) joke: the reason they want him out is that his name's Muammar.



Once I can overlook. Twice . . . nope. Sorry Dave. That's not far from doing race jokes.

1. Oh...you're talking about Letterman.

I thought there was someone here on DU you were referencing.

So you're not gonna watch "The Late Show" anymore?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

2. Which Dave?

Dave's not here, man.

7. . . .

:rofl:

3. I don't think it's racial - I think it's making fun of those who insist on calling

Obama Barack Hussein Obama. Making fun of racists and Muslim-phobes. I could be wrong, but that's how I read it. :shrug:

[Luminous Animal]

4. I agree. And given my respect for Stinky, I'd like his interpretation.

[Stinky The Clown]

6. That's an interesting take.

Could well be the reason, I don't know. I took the jokes at face value.

8. DAve speaks oftentimes in veiled ways. Pretty sure he was commenting about Tea Bagger mentality.

[snagglepuss]

5. Utter bollocks. Is calling Bush Shrub racist? DUers make fun of politicans'

names all the time.

[JimGinPA]

9. Uma... Oprah. Oprah... Uma.

I think Dave just likes to have fun with names.

10. He probably misses Boutros Boutros-Ghali.

He had a lot of fun with that one.
