Tracy Morgan: Squeezing his Mind Grapes...and other things

Editors Note: the blog post you are about to read today is a little on the risqué side so the faint at heart might want to skip today aka Hi Mom, maybe don’t read this one!

Does this look like a dude that thinks before he speaks?

Okay so everyone is up in arms today about Tracy Morgan (who I adore) saying something about Sarah Fucking Palin during some form of basketball game or whatever on TNT and now TNT has issued an apology, yada yada. My question, Why?

Tracy was asked to choose between Tina Fey and Sarah Palin (Tina Fey wins by more than a landslide. She wins by an avalanche. A tsunami. A gigantic earthquake. There is no contest) and Tracy said about Palin: "Now let me tell you something about Sarah Palin man, she's good masturbation material. The glasses and all that? Great masturbation material."

So?

Okay, maybe if you wanted to go super feminist about it, it is a little demeaning to say about any woman, I will give you that but on the other hand, big deal! Am I a shitty woman to honestly not think it was a big deal? Probably. I am fine with it.

If someone said that about me, I would probably have it stitched on sampler. I would take it as complimentary but I am vulgar like that so to each his own.

He made a remark (an admittedly sexist remark) about a woman during a basketball game. He said what probably, sadly, a good number of men are probably thinking. I can’t stand Sarah Palin and I wish she would get eaten by moose but I am not so hateful towards her that I won’t say she isn’t attractive. She is. I have no respect for anything she does or says but she is pretty.

And, come on now, she’s not even governor anymore, she’s a fucking reality star. Sarah Palin was pretty much made for reality TV. She’s stupid. She’s nice to look at. She’s ridiculous and half the time she has no idea what she is talking about. Born to be a reality television star, that one.

If he had made the crack about Kate Gosselin (even though no one masturbates to her, lets get real) would anyone care? I am going to say no. She’s not the president. She’s not the vice president (and, never, ever will be). She is in no way a political figure or anyone else that deserves a modicum of respect. She will probably be the next guest judge on American Idol or something equally as fame-whoreish for fucksake!  Why does is matter? Can anyone tell me?

I actually did research on this one and Palin has yet to respond to this scandal of a comedian making a joke at her expense but I am sure once she does it is going to be long-winded and full of winks and big words she will never know the meaning to

And, you know what I think? I think that if Tracy Morgan would have said the same thing about Hilary Clinton, Hilary would have probably taken it as a compliment. She just seems cooler than that to me. She rolls with the punches that Hilary.
