"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno."

02/08/2008 10:09 pm

That "joke" was told by John McCain in 1998. Perhaps Shuster should have been a little nastier, then he could be a front runner to be President. Or maybe this is a look into what we would have with a McCain Presidency - making lesbian jokes and picking on children.

Hillary Clinton never addressed this joke because there may be some truth to the Hillary clinton as a lesbian . I would like to see how she addresses now that it is in the open?

Not sure what the ruckus is about here Chelsea was in fact ugly, as was Reno. Reno and Hillary are both lesbians. What's inappropriate about the joke?

hmm

Even if she was one, it's her own thing.

I so totally agree! This is stupid!

John McCain makes a bad joke about chelse and that makes Hillary a lesbian? Wow you freepers really are idiots!!!!

How is it a bad joke? And who really disputes that Hillary goes both ways?

Read Primary Colors.

Lighten up! That is some funny stuff!

i don't get it -- is chelsea a lesbian or hillary?

He was saying that Hillary is a lesbian who had an affair with Janet Reno.
He was also saying that Chelsea Clinton was an ugly girl.
I would guess Hillary did not make a big deal about this, whether she is indeed lesbian or not,
because she was protecting her daughter.
What a hurtful joke to make at Chelsea's expense - and she was only a kid then.
But most certainly a hurtful joke to hear about your own daughter.
It wouldn't be worth putting a bad joke told by a Senator into the public eye when it would only cause your daughter pain -- especially when she was going through that gawky adolescent stage.
I think McCain has foot in mouth disease at times... with his bomb Iran singing, etc.
Do we really need another President that makes the US look like a bunch of rednecks?
I really wish we could have a dignified intelligent strong thoughtful president for a change.

Thank you for your wise remarks. What a shame.

See below.

The only shame is that clinton was ever president, and that people like you are too dumb to know that we need strength in foreign policy at a time of backwards barbarian attacks, not weakness.

Go ahead and try to elect an ignorant muslim to appease the barbarians. See how far that gets you.

The joke was private, chelsie was ugly, and hillary/janet are both lesbians. Deal with it.

McCain is far more dignified, intelligent ,strong, and thoughtful than anyone on the left. And Iran needs to be warned to stop acting like barbaric savages if they don't want to be bomed.

Are are all you people on the left such weak vaginas? You really think electing a similarly weak vagina will help us globally?

I thought the joke was terrible.

YES CHELSEA CLINTON IS BUTT-UGLY!!! She looks like a ginger albino! Talk about apple not falling from the tree, that is one FUNNY A$$ JOKE!!!

A ginger albino! Funny that u mentioned it, I said the same a few days ago XD

Thats funny

Chelsea can't help how she looks! The jokes should stay focused at Hillary herself instead of taking it out on her daughter.(that's just the mom in me) But it did make me laugh!

It's not her fault she looks the way she does, and I don't really find this that funny.

To all the low lifes having a slobbering belly laugh over Chelsea's supposed ugliness; I'd like to see the women you cretins come home to. It's probably your mothers as you still live in the basement.

The only "shame" is that a democracy requires an informed populace. It's clear this country is stuffed fat with half-wits full of lies, rumours, and hate.

I know this is big word for some of you, but you would make the world more liveable place to move past your misogyny. Ya' know? Sit down and figure out why you hate women.

The age of reason: fun while it lasted. You will all be MUCH happier when we live in full-out police state and no critical thinking skills will be needed. You've already got the second part down very well.

Truly sad that most of the commentators find humor in the cruel, ad hominem ridicule of another person. The distance to a just and great society is truly great. We need to look beyond the comment, regardless of its accuracy or lack thereof, to see the miserable and wretched man below and ask ourselves if his values are those we want for our society.

I think she is goes on she's mother

Until that time I have not read about it

It's so-o-oo- obvious, I really don't know why I have to even say it. But, since everyone here seems to be clueless...listen up close:

McCain is a lesbian. He is a transexual lesbian, trapped in a man's body. He made a painfully unfunny joke about a mannish women, a sexless woman, and a luscious, young woman, (despite his too macho depreciation of her "looks"), for whom he'd give up his testacles, if he could have 5 minutes performing cunnilingus on her.

Why did he do it? To give vent to his own ambiguous nature, and to express misplaced (transferred) male-lesbian self-hatred. Also, dirty old man self-hatred.

Since we are talking about the daughters of the candidates.... why isn't there more talk about the new born Palin baby. Is it Sarah's or is it the 17 year old daughters?? Inquiring minds want to know and it should definitely be on the table for discussion since Mom is a candidate fro VP. It goes directly to the "integrity question"... Waiting........

ROFL, great joke dude.
Also I know many other jokes about public people. The most favourite:
The 50 Dumbest Things George W. Bush Has Ever Said

Amazing joke, dude! I've saw a few like these here ->Funny Jokes

I hate HIllary and think picking her to represent our party would cost us the WH even though everything is right for us to take it - she is too divisive and what proggressive can support someone that voted for war with iraq and iran?

Chelsea is not that bad... especially compared to McCains own hideous (and dim-witted) little Piglet toads Bridget and Meghan. How is it that McCain married TWO twiggy fashion-model types (both with known eating disorders BTW) and then produced those two porkers ? I wouldn't think Cindy would have that much food in the house, but must be she does. Nasty.

Palin's daughters aren't far behind, but we can forgive them seeing they live in Alaska. Phoenix is not a place you want to be 75 lbs overweight.

I think Cindy could lay off the plastic surgery for a year or two, freeing both of her porky-pies to go get their stomachs stapled or something. Sorry girls, I know I'm not being very nice but you have to be realistic. You can count the successful fat girls on TV on one hand- it takes mind-bending intelligence to make up for no bod. There's Oprah, Candy Crowley, and that's about it. Other tele-tubbies need not apply.

Yo ... MOS DEF Man. Those 2 are DOWN BUTT UGLY.

Because he obviously doesn't own a mirror. Here he is making a joke about a young girl who has done nothing to him to make a point about what? that he is an idiot? Ahh I don't know what is more appealilng about him, the enchanting liver spots, or that marvelous triple chin gets me every time, or I know, it just has to be that "Oops I crapped my pants" adult diaper padded butt. Oh if I could only choose one!

I truly sad that most of the commentators find humor in the cruel, ad hominem ridicule of another person, what a world....
