In her 50 years in comedy, and at 81 years old, most are not surprised by what may come out of Joan River’s mouth. She is known for being crass and obnoxious for the sake of shock value. Some even find her funny. She is one of the few left of a dying breed of comedy where you have to thick skin to survive. She came up under the likes of Milton Berle, Bob Hope and Don Rickles. Currently, she is the host of E!’s Fashion Police. Needless to say, she would not have been in the game as long as she has if she didn’t know what she is doing, comedically speaking.
Folks are in an uproar over comments she made about Michelle and President Barack Obama when approached by the paparazzi. When asked whether she thought there would be a gay president or a female president first, she responded by saying that the president is gay and the first lady is transgendered. Whether she was joking or not is not certain, but her comments were blatantly disrespectful and not the least bit funny. Keep in mind that Joan Rivers has a new book out. These days it seems like people have no boundaries when it comes to marketing. Click here to see the video.
