Sandra Bernhard Laughs Herself Out Of A Job
It looks like Sandra Bernhard’s ‘joke’ about Sarah Palin being gang-raped by black men didn’t go over so well — with women who have been gang-raped.
Comedian Sandra Bernhard has lost her slot as a keynote speaker for a women’s shelter in Massachusetts after attacking vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin on abortion. In a monologue criticizing the Alaska governor, Bernhard made crude comments about rape that cost her the gig.
The comments came in a one-woman stand up show Bernhard did last month in Washington, D.C.. During the event, Bernhard said Palin would be “gang-raped by my big black brothers” and the comments came in a diatribe against Palin’s pro-life views.
Bernhard was supposed to be a featured speaker at the October 16 event “Funny Women … Serious Business” put on by the Boston-based Rosie’s Place, a domestic violence shelter for women.
Public relations director Leemarie Mosca told AP about the cancellation and said the comments were offensive to many of the victims the shelter helps as well as its staff and volunteers.
“In light of our mission, we don’t think violence against women is a laughing matter,” she said.
“Right now, our main focus is our event and making sure the event is a success,” Mosca said. “And for us, that means not including Sandra Bernhard at this time.”
Sandra Bernhard aside from being one of the world’s most unfunny b*tches, is also an idiot. The hatred that some so-called ‘women’ (whether Bernhard is one is debatable) have for Sarah Palin because she didn’t kill any babies is despicable.
When you’re a ‘comedian’ with only a small fan base of mostly radical, angry dykes, you should probably try and keep the few gigs you’re lucky enough to get.
