John Gibson: Big-time Asshole
On his syndicated radio show which no-one listens to, FOX News shmendrick John Gibson joked about Heath Ledger's death yesterday including more awesomely hilarious jokes about Brokeback Mountain. Olbermann noted last night that when Gibson was tormenting a dead man, the autopsy hadn't even been completed.
But you know what? He'll get away with it because he was appealing to the eerily large percentage of the American population who think Brokeback was oogy and weird and therefore Ledger was oogy and weird. He'll get away with it unless the rest of us normal people stop him. E-mail to comments@foxnews.com.

I can't listen to that shit without getting extremely angry, the transcript was enough for me. And I can only assume he just loves the attention he's getting for this, with zero thought as to whether the majority of us think he's a useless piece of shit.

It's the last gasp of a dwindling society of angry old white fuckers that knows it's way of life will soon be marginalized. He's doubly resentful because an actors death has generated a great deal of attention and grief, while his own passing will cause barely a ripple in the grand scheme of things. It hammers home the reality that he's not nearly as important as he thinks he is.

Bob, what is this "shmendrick"? It can't be good.
I will write to FN, but I refuse to read/listen to Gibson or anything Fox -- makes me feel all oogy and weird.
Brokeback Mountain was a wonderful movie based on one of Proulx's excellent stories, a love story at that.

I haven't heard (or read) the word "shmendrick" in a month of Sundays!
And yeah, what an asshole. One has to wonder if these people say such things because they know they'll get tons of attention--even though it's negative attention, they're too stupid to realize that. They just crave seeing their names repeated anywhere, for any reason.
