Reply #50: That joke was bad on a lot of levels.

First there is the whole presidential abuse of powers aspect, and the fact that there is a war on, etc. That all hits just a little too close to home at this point. It's like Kissinger joking about carpet bombing, etc.

Then there is the cringe inducing fact that the joke is playing on the pubescent and pre-pubescent sexuality of his two daughters, who are 9 and 13. Add this to the fact that two of the Jonas brothers are old enough to drink, while the third is 17. We know damned well what kind of ideas he's hinting at, and everything down that alley is just fucked up.

Then add to it that the Jonas Brothers are already poster children for fucked up and repressive modern fundagelical sexuality in the guise of overaged teen heartthrobs.

Yeah, this is a field whence comes an ill harvest.
