His mistake was just in talking about it and using this phrase, not in actually cutting the lines. It's his show, can't he joke about what he wants to and not pillory the accused, especially if there isn't much humor to be mined from it?
And I realize, he doesn't hold out that fairness for others, people he disagrees with or who aren't his friends, which is fair to criticize him for. But is this really the tactic now?
It just doesn't make sense to not throw any of the three under the bus because their careers were over. I don't see a scenario where Weinstein becomes a power player again and seeks revenge on Lorne and Che for the jokes.
Ah, I'm behind on the news. I thought the story was still in the rumor phase--didn't realize that he's been ousted and more stories had come forth. Fuck Lorne Michaels.
I actually gained a bit of respect for John Oliver for being the only guy brave enough to go after Harvey. He's still a swarmy douche but he's got balls.
Just about all of the liberals and progressives I follow on twitter have posted some quantity of shit hating on Weinstein or commending the women that came forward. I don't know why (((people))) like Lorne are treating him like this. Hmmm.
Yeah but Weekend Update pointed out that we should pass laws making it illegal to use guns to kill people. That's the kind of nuance one expects from the real genius minds of today. Murder bad!
Last time I ran into Bobo was on the 7 train platform at Woodside after a Mets game in July. I asked him what he thought of Trump and he summed his feelings up with "He's great and the best thing is he's from right here in Queens". Then he gave me an Anthony Cumia "limited edition" bumper sticker that I pressed onto the back of a urinal an hour or two later at one of the Irish bars along Queens Boulevard.

But what would the reaction be if he was a conservative who cut Roger Ailes or Bill O'Riley jokes.
1 PhilipMarma 2017-10-09
It would understandably be similar, but that still doesn't make it right.

Lorne Greene has more guts and he's been ravished by worms for 30 years.

That's why I never call out Hitler. It's a German thing. That, and I really respect his body/bodies of work.

Didn't Wikileaks release that Jon Oliver was actually working with Hillary's team and taking money from them?
1 Cletus_Van_Dam 2017-10-09
Yes. Colbert too.
1 yaaaaayPancakes 2017-10-09
Got a link to the doc on wikileaks? I'd like to read that.

Interesting. I guess in this era of "the campaign never ends" I suppose this could be construed as working together for the 2016 campaign.

Bleep-bloop, I'm a bot. This portmanteau was created from the phrase 'Russian propaganda'.

For the love of Pete, someone tell me why this decades long predator is not getting the 'grab em by the pussy treatment' ?
1 drakenthegreat 2017-10-09
He's not running for president and the general public has no fucking idea who he is.
1 A_Friendly_Creeper 2017-10-09
So it has nothing to do with parentheses? Ok good

This cocksucker fired Norm for OJ jokes. He can fuck right off for that retarded bullshit.
1 xxmikekxx 2017-10-09
Don Ohlmeyer fired Norm, not Lorne. It's a pretty well known story

What the fuck does that even mean?
Being a faggot? Sounds about right... do anything you want and then make up a horseshit excuse you can "Brand" as a cool phrase like It's A New York Thing. Hooooo! I'm walkin' here! Ooooh, the pizza pie! You never saw nothin' like it! Waitin' on-line for a New York Pizza Pie HOOOO it's a New York Thing©!

CNNs only mention of this is titled "Whats next for harvey weinstein?"
1 SeriousPoliticalGuy 2017-10-09
ZERO mention of his SEXUAL MISCONDUCT. It's because he's a LIBERAL.
