Thin-Skinned Couple Traumatized By Bette Jokes

Mister D: Wow, these people have ALWAYS enjoyed Ms. Midler, and yet somehow they’ve missed her insults of Republicans over the last 8-9 years???? I don’t think so. Some people just exist to be offended, and to spout off right wing talking points. Thanks for the free publicity!!! The favorite part of this article for me is my headline. Hope the couple gets over their PTSD? LOL

We were lucky enough to recently get tickets in Las Vegas to see Bette Midler, an entertainer we have always enjoyed. During the show, Midler took the opportunity to say very nasty things about Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin – twice.

The comments and name-calling were totally out of context, were not related to the show and left us with a greatly diminished opinion of Midler.

Why is it that liberals, particularly the Hollywood elitists, use every public venue to spout their vitriol and hate about people with whom they disagree? – Terry G., Scottsdale

  1. oooooh, some very disappointed audience members…….please as if they don’t know what she is like and she has certainly not hidden the fact that she can’t stand Sarah Palin, she has said it loads of times before.
    It’s just a little yoke………LOL

  2. Republicans make me sick to my stomach anyways. lol. People need to grow a sense of humor and most of the ones who go back and say something dont take the time to read up on the facts that what the other person is saying are true. Gosh i hate stupid people.

  3. Really…??? So these so called “fans” had no idea of what they were getting themselves into? EVERYONE knows that she makes fun of Republicans!!! She’s done this since the beginning of time. “F… if they can’t take a joke!!!”

  4. Has this couple been hiding under a rock for 30 years?
    Did they buy or were they given the tickets?
    Maybe they need to stick to Marie Osmond and continue watching the TLC show about the sextuplets.
    Is there a Wisteria Lane in Scottsdale?

  5. Like Bette herself said “Mud WILL be flung tonight, so ya better get used to it!”

    These people obviously have an aversion to mud…so let’s give ’em some more… 😉

  6. I didn’t really agree with the jokes that were said at the show, but I found them hillarious and I don’t care what political party Bette is. I don’t think that she really meannt everything that she was saying in the jokes….. that’s why they are called “jokes”!!!

    1. I’ve been to some concerts where you can tell the performers are right wing and I’m mature enough to not let it bother me. Sometimes I find it even funny all the wrong information their espousing….I don’t understand why people get so upset unless they follow some charasmatic oaf who tells them they should be upset…puppets on a string….usually they espouse the same ole same ole…
