everyone's apologizing and resigning about rodeo clown tuffy gessling's performance as obama, getting run over by a bull. here's the deal: clowns like tuffy get a pass. you should have seen what we did to tricky dick on the streets of dc when i was 14. i don't see this as any worse than a thousand political cartoons. look seventeen movies that came out last week depicted in loving slow motion the entire destruction of the white house. really we're in the second golden pc age, but this time no one even seems to have any reservations. i like the idea of hurling ridicule and abuse at our leaders. it's an egalitarian expression. did that performance hurt someone (i mean other than tuffy, who no doubt is a pain professional)? he's been banned for life from the missouri fair.
