Drudge Thinks This Is News??

Matt Drudge is in righteous indignation mode today :

OSCAR HOST CHRIS ROCK SHOCK: ABORTION IN AMERICA IS ‘BEAUTIFUL’

Shock Oscar host Chris Rock recently declared that abortion in the United States is a “beautiful thing!”

“Abortion, it’s beautiful, it’s beautiful abortion is legal. I love going to an abortion rally to pick up women, cause you know they are f**king,” Rock said during his club routine.

Veteran members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have grown concerned over the choice of Chris Rock to represent the Academy before a worldwide audience, well-placed insiders claim.

“This is not who we are,” said one top source from Los Angeles.

It’s odd that either Drudge or the Academy would make a big deal out of this since Chris Rock has been using that abortion joke for fifteen years. (If you don’t believe me, go check out his 1991 album Born Suspect.) Perhaps Drudge can do a followup story about how the millionaire Rock is really a cheapskate who keeps trying to convince people to sell him only “one rib”.

  1. “This is not who we are,” said one top source from Los Angeles.

    This is a real quote. Honest! He got it from a reporter friend of his over at Fox…

    “Top source” Drudge readers must be very child-like to go for this kind of stuff.

  2. And, isn’t Rock actually saying that it’s beautiful that abortion is legal? Read that first quoted sentence again. I’ve seen him perform that joke–I don’t think he was saying abortion itself is beautiful.

    I could be wrong. Been wrong before.

  3. Yeah, I don’t remember that either. Must be cover for the Gannon fluff up.

  4. He’s a comedian for Christ’s sake. He says shit that makes people squirm and laugh at the same time like his “I hate niggers” routine? Abortions are about as beautiful as hemorrhoidectomies. But they both solve problems which are a huge pain in the ass.
