5. Eddie Izzard used JFK's "Ich bin ein Berliner" line in a joke
Edited on Tue May-06-08 03:40 AM by CakeGrrl
To make the point that JFK literally told the German people that he was a doughnut. Should we pull out the knives for him for defiling an historical icon?

:eyes:

I'm guessing you won't be receptive to the CONTEXT in which Wright mimicked the JFK accent since your OP makes the reach to continue to link the two men to prop up the 'guilt by association' charge in the first place. Obama isn't calling for anyone to make fun of historical icons, much as you'd like to imply otherwise.
