Being mean is what makes him funny.
Wasn't he the guy who hosted Politically Incorrect?
yeah, until he said in a show that the terrorists weren't "cowards" as they
were called in the news...
justification: the terrorists blow themselves up, unafraid of death, while
our response at that time was to launch missles into afghanistan from
naval aircraft carriers 2000+miles away.
made sense to me.
"No, i'm not saying 'support these guys'; i'm SAYING that maybe calling
them cowards pigeon holes them."
"Don't you think calling these guys cowards is underestimating them?"
etc..
of course, saying the truth is never popular.
