Media Sites Crow Over Don Rickles ‘Insulting’ Bristol Palin
You know what a true insult from comedian Don Rickles would be? It would be if you appeared on a stage with Rickles and did NOT receive an “insult” from the “Merchant of Venom.” However, many media websites seem to be unaware of Rickles' stock in trade. They are crowing over the fact that they believe Don Rickles delivered serious insults to Bristol and Sarah Palin during a visit of the latter to the Tonight Show where the comedian was one of the guests. As you can see in this video (and below the fold), Rickles “insults” were relatively mild compared to the zingers he directed towards President Ronald Reagan on stage during his second inauguration in 1985. And the reaction from The Gipper was sheer laughter at the “insults.” Yet here we have such sites as Raw Story and andPOP taking the Rickles insults as if they were some sort of serious political commentary.
