Political and politically incorrect humor

The muppets are trying to brainwash your children!!!

Bold printing by me :

He also plans to buy out the Muppets name and re-package them for a group of low-life Reno troublemakers because he believes that we live in a "hard, cynical world" and it deserves a "hard, cynical act." And 'The Muppets' has the gall to imply that these are less than admirable character traits.

Priceless !

That last one is just for my buddy thrasher, who rails on about republican obstruction, but cheered loudly for Indiana dems "taking a stand" by hiding in Illinois to avoid passing a budget last year. Looks like there may be another "stand" coming down, champ.

I really don't like getting involved in discussions about politics because it makes me frightened and my extremities go numb. That being said, I think Newt Gingrich is 'the man.' Note to conservative 'insiders': He's our guy: get used to it.

George Lucas didn't like him, so he made the character of Nute Gunray out of him - and another well-known politician.

Ah, I see.
Thanks.

Undead zombie. Intent on destroying the nation and desperately seeking some brains.

I'd rather guess he's seeking brains for ideas to get the economy working again …

I don't see the political connection, but I enjoyed watching it nonetheless.

Wikipedia:

political correctness (adjectivally, politically correct; both forms commonly abbreviated to pc) is a term which denotes language, ideas, policies, and behavior seen as seeking to minimize social and institutional offense in occupational, gender, racial, cultural, sexual orientation, certain other religions, beliefs or ideologies, disability, and age-related contexts, and, as purported by the term, doing so to an excessive extent. In current usage, the term is primarily pejorative, while the term politically incorrect has been used as an implicitly positive self-description
