Joan Rivers’ Foul Proclamation (and Advice for Obama) Gets ‘The Last Word’

As Keith Olbermann plots his return to TV, he must certainly be squirming at what has filled his former time slot.
Just last night, Lawrence O‘Donnell’s final segment on The Last Word featured an extended interview with Joan Rivers that featured some fairly substantial shots at President Obama, beauty advice for Rachel Maddow and Rivers’ own assessment of her sexual merit.
The interview included Joan Rivers telling the proud Progressive host that the President should:
“Get to work!”
And Joan also questioned the wisdom of the Obamas bouncing off to vacation in Cape Cod after telling the people to visit the Gulf of Mexico. She thought the President was “stupidly advised” also stating quite clearly;
“When the country’s in a recession, don’t send your wife and 40 friends to Europe.”
O‘Donnell objected to most of Joan’s Obama assessments and bristled when she brought up the Death Tax:
It all wrapped up with Joan delivering hair and makeup tips to Rachel Maddow.

Posted on February 8, 2011 at 5:00pmHow about calling socialist Lawrence O‘Donnell and liberal Joan Rivers simply STUPID… as that is what they are. They cannot tell the socialist president from the capitalist president, they tell Obama to ‘get to work’ while Obama has been working his hardest to destroy this country. They just plain STUPID. Or do they want him to destroy it faster? The who will be able to afford Hollywood and a Cable TV?

Posted on February 8, 2011 at 5:15pmIt’s worse than that. Have you seen her daughter lately? She appears to be following in her mothers footsteps with the face alterations. Joan will never be mother of the year. Her husband must be rolling over in his grave.

Posted on February 8, 2011 at 4:31pmWhy the confusion here? Joan Rivers’ comments are pure liberal. “What’s good for others is not good for me. The laws that apply to others do not apply to me. I am above the law because I am a liberal.”

Posted on February 8, 2011 at 4:01pmMaybe her little stint with Donald Trump’s companies gave her a dose of how the business world works. I would hope that is the case, but then in another breath she talks out of the left side of her mouth. None the less, enjoyed the darts.

Posted on February 8, 2011 at 4:16pmL – O – N – G ago, back in the Stone Age, I used to like Joan Rivers. But then she made the joke in the 1960s about how to tell the age of Phyllis Diller. “You count the wrinkles in her neck.” For a woman to say that about another woman, well, I just lost respect for her.
Now that she’s a cold-blooded liberal/Progressive, she has nothing to offer from her plastic face that interests me. Beauty comes from within, not from without.

Posted on February 8, 2011 at 4:48pmI don’t see why anyone would be surprised by her statements. Progressive policies and redistribution for everyone else as long as it doesn’t affect her and her money. O’Donnell is taking the proper stand for his socialist philosophy, but then, we don‘t see the conversations between him and his wife concerning their daughter’s inheritance.

It may be she simply figures Israel is capable of defending herself if it comes down to an actual war; or she figures events will be directed by the Almighty in the protection fronm above for the land of Israel as well as the jewish people.
@Grandmaof5
Indeed it is an interesting though that Donald Trump may have gotten through to her the values of how business really works in the real world about most of us. I sincerely hope so, for it is always so nice to see a liberal or progressive see the light and come home to the truth.
Hope the weather is warm in Florida today, is in the 70s here, my neighbour set off the fire alarms last night, she was cooking cupcakes when they went up in flames, literally. No one hurt or damage done save to the cupcakes.
