Good. Those holier-than-thou women need to get a rude awakening.

Norm was talking about the rumors that link Clinton to the mysterious deaths of
a large number of people, not just Vince Foster. I think the number is close
to 100 people over the years.
I have a neighbor whose husband worked for a Washington federal prosecutor (not
Ken Starr). This woman really believes that Clinton is guilty of having many
people killed to cover up his illegal doings.
I just can't believe it. It's too outrageous.

Does anyone honestly believe that a President who cannot keep a blowjob
secret can keep 100 murders (or even one, for that matter) quiet?
This has nothing to do with party affiliations or whether or not you
like Clinton--this is just plain old common sense. Do you realize how
many people would have to keep quiet? Do you really believe this many
secret service men, FBI, whitehouse workers (including all the Linda
Tripps), etc would have to not mind being an accessory to murder? Oh
yeah, then there's the entire US news media.
I totally agree with you!
I wish you could talk to my neighbor. I thought only internet crazies believed
those Clinton murder rumors.
But apparently, a lot of the Washington federal prosecutors, their employees,
and families all believe Clinton is responsible for having many people killed
over many years. Some while President, some while Governor of Arkansas.
Just the other day, my neighbor compared Clinton to Hitler. (I'm not kidding!)
It just amazes me because she's an extremely intelligent woman. But, she's a
conservative Republican who believes Clinton is totally evil.

You know, this is a good point. I notice that the first questioner was
reading a note card as she stood to applaud his entrance, and went right
into the election question. (I don't watch this show much so I'm unclear
on the names). Then when he got ridiculous about Clinton and Barbara
tried to change the subject, they immediately asked him what he did to
annoy Bill Cosby. So they were looking for controversy. Guess they got
more than they expected.
I am quite tired of this kind of mouthing off from the right wing. You'd
hear similar stuff from left wingers if you listened to local radio in
Berkeley, but nobody leftist is allowed to air wild charges on national
TV. (and yes, I get tired of left wing mouthing off, too)
Norm MacDonald reminds me of a guy I had a crush on in college, except
the guy I liked was Phi Beta Kappa, and Norm is a moron. But the sullen
smirking good time preppy boy attitude is the same. There's a certain
amount of childish rebelliousness - anti-female "I'm not going to let
you witches push me around" sentiment underneath it all.
Leila
Luckily my taste in men has improved
actually, i thought it was because of the jokes he made about o.j.
but yeah, inviting norm on the show and expecting him to be not-norm is pretty
damn stupid.

What really gets me about these nuts is that Clinton has been pres for
EIGHT YEARS. Name ONE "evil" leader who has been in power that long
without killing or otherwise terrorizing citizens openly in large
numbers.
These jerks need to go back to Rumania in the early 80's and see what
life was like under Ceaucescu -- now *that's* evil. And Slobodan
Milosevic, anyone? I mean, Christ on a cracker, these
conspiracy-theorists need some fricking perspective.
My brother also believes a lot of that conspiarcy crap. I routinely
try to remind him that it's a laughable notion that our government
could be that organized. We can't even get national health care!

During the previous appearances, Norm was very funny and the Ladies were
delighted with him.
Today's antics really took the Ladies by surprise. Barbara and Star,
especially, were not amused.

PostScript: I would realy like to boink the hell out of that asian girl
on the view. But then it's really easy for ANY white guy to pick up a
asian girl.
No. He was kicked off for being unprofessional. Unprofessional and unfunny.
Showing up late, never bothering to learn his lines, insisting of ad libbing
(which in the context of SNL is something only the most talented can get away
with, guest hosts who try this are rarely asked back as it is EXTREMELY hard to
be funny off the cuff and stay within network guidelines.). His Weekend update
segment, which he wrote, usually ran to 15 minutes with barely a laugh during
the dry run, which meant serious padding in the live show to fill the time
after most of his stuff had been cut.
And then there was the erratic behaviour. There were rumors of chemicals being
involved.
The only time(s) he was any good, was if the guest host was someone he wanted
to impress.
He really can't afford, professionally, to give the appearance that his old bad
habits have returned.

The talk at the time was that Don Ohlmeyer, an NBC executive and good
friend of OJ Simpson, was increasingly disgruntled at Norm's relentless
jokes about OJ. Norm continued with the OJ jokes and eventually was
fired with the reason given that he wasn't funny, in Ohlmeyer's opinion.

he's been on Dennis Miller Live a couple of times and seemed like he
was chemically enhanced. he also has a predilection for talking about
cocks, which invariably he turns into some sort of gay slur.

Andy Kaufman, you could say all the same of him. Maybe if Norm dies young
he'll be called a genius of comedy...
Remember the woman who posted for a while to either agc or asg about norm and
his penchant for REALLY sleazy phone sex? We exchanged a few emails and she
TOTALLY ruined him for me, even though he can make me laugh sometimes. Those
posts are probably in deja or reference if anyone's interested...

I think that the women of America should be more intelligent than to look up
to Oprah and The View ladies as role models. Please, there are better people to
admire in the world than these pompous asses.
If Norm MacDonald got on their nerves, good. I'm glad he made a mockery out of
that self righteous drivel that they call "wisdom". The View sucks!

I do not watch her show, but Oprah is a great role model for today's
younger generation.
I'm usually very accepting of different things, but what McDonald did on
"The View" was in-appropriate. You could tell Barbara Walters was upset.

I enjoy Oprah. She and Joy Behar strike me as being fairly down-to-earth, and
Behar cracks me up. Star Jones is pretentious.
>I'm usually very accepting of different things, but what McDonald did on

I've heard he was out of line, but, gad...what were they thinking? That he'd
behave because it was "them"? The guy is a documented goof -- whether it's
staged or not -- so his reputation must have preceded him. Their shock at his
disrespect seems tantamount to expressing astonishment that Andrew Dice Clay
acts like a chauvinistic dickhead.

That is entirely possible. So many posts about him confirmed that he's
been outrageous much more often than not, however, that I figured word
must have gotten around. But then too, it wouldn't surprise me if
Barbara Walters just has an ingrained expectation that people will
behave themselves in her presence. :-)

Yes, this isn't the first time I've read about his antics, although
I'll admit that the clip of him on Millionaire was the first I've SEEN
of him (and he really did give me the creeps).

Speaking of a dickhead, does anyone remember the name of the university that
was so displeased with Andy Dick's behavior at a show they sponsored on
campus? That was another big laugh - I mean, invite Andy Dick to perform
and be angry when he goes too far and is vulgar???
