Zbig admonished Rachel for making fun of Osama on his b'day.

[elleng]

And he BARELY recognized her explanation.

[nsd]

1. Context?

[elleng]

3. Zbig was guest on Rachel's show;

prior to his appearance, she intro'd the segment on Afgh by mentioning that its Osama's b'day, and said 'no more happy b'days to you,' or somesuch.

Zbig appears and begins with a mini lecture about one shouldn't say such things; Os is, after all, important to many. I thought his attitude was a bit over the top.

[Raine]

4. I thought his attitude was over the top too

apparently he isn't aware that using ridicule against your opponent is a good way of diminishing him. Zbig came off as very snotty and arrogant. x(

[leftynyc]

8. Fuck Osama

And fuck anyone who thinks we should defer to him no matter how many people support him.

2. IMNSHO, it's not sound Karma to tempt fate by "making light" of one as EVIL as Osama Bin Laden.

:shrug:

[ConsAreLiars]

5. So your advice would be to speak respectfully of OBL in order not to "tempt fate"?

:wtf:

:argh:

(edit tiny typo)

[ShortnFiery]

7. No, you are conflating ... as usual.

6. eventually, guys like that are going to look like Gorbachev when he returned to Moscow after coup

his power was gone, but he didn't realize it at first, so he still talked like he had it and looked sad and foolish.
