Mad Men: 'Chevy Is Spelled Wrong!'
Jennifer Aniston Talks Topless Scene, Going Raunchy
Joan Rivers isn't known for her tactfulness or sensitivity. But one joke about First Lady Michelle Obama was too racy even for Joan, and the outspoken comedienne pulled it from her stand-up routine.Joan told scandal-loving Howard Stern that she pulled a joke about the First Lady for fear of being accused of racism. "We used to have Jackie O," she said. "Now we have Blackie O!"
Joan said she meant the nickname as a term of endearment for Michelle, alluding to her noteworthy fashion sense and stylistic resemblance to another iconic First Lady, Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
"I thought it was a funny complimentary joke when she first came [to the White House]," she told Howard.
The shock jock's sidekick, Robyn Quivers, laughed but asked Joan, "Where's the compliment in that? I'm looking and I'm looking, I'm trying to find it."

she and her daughter are just trying to get attention because they have a new reality show airing soon..though why anyone would want to watch two foul-mouthed hasbeens is beyond me..oh wait will probably be same ones who watch Chelsey Handler

Joan Rivers needs to retire. She has never been funny and who wants to look at the face.

Joan Rivers is just stuck in the 50's. Not that the Obama's belong ig in the Whitehouse in the first place. Any OTHER race with the same exact experience as Obama would have never ever made it to the WH. He's there for one reason, he's black. It's the left's first articulate minority and a great excuse to get him in hook or crook. He may even be re elacted. All he has to do is act like a republican for 2 years as Clinton did.

I don't know either of them personally, of course, but it would seem that Joan should take note of the example of growing old graciously, making jokes about yourself rather than at other peoples expense and reflecting joy in your life rather than bitterness. Those examples are set by Betty White.

Joan rivers could never be a first white (jew )lady either! it takes too much make up before she can make a public appearance! Black women look good They dont age like a prume! Im going to the synagouge and pray and Im going to wear black! So they wont recognize that Im not jewish!

While this is distasteful, it is just only words, Mrs Obama will rise from her bed in the am just as she always does. People don't spend your days looking for something to get all riled up about. Laugh, Laugh, you will live longer and happier., After all she PULLED it.
