Sandra Bernhard is under fire after comments she made at one of her concerts in Washington DC. After allegedly stating that Sarah Palin would be gang raped if she were to visit the nation’s capital, she was booted as a performer from an upcoming Rosie’s Place charity benefit. Sandra denies saying it in the context as it has been quoted in the media but I don’t even care about that.
Rosie’s Place is a Boston-based shelter focused on offering advocacy, housing and other resources to homeless women. Many of these residents have experienced trauma and abuse and are certainly at a difficult place in their life. How on God’s green earth do these people pick celebrities that they want to have affiliated with their organization? I’m trying to imagine being at the Board of Directors meeting where the suggestion comes up “You know who would be really good for our fundraiser? Let’s try and get Sandra Bernhard!”
Am I confused here? Shouldn’t there be some sort of oh…I dunno…thought as to who your spokesperson is and how their philosophies mesh with your agenda? Picking Sandra Bernhard makes no sense. It would be like Lynne Spears writing a book on parenting. Oh…wait.Â
Well sweet Jaysus, Sandra Bernhard is a great comedienne but perhaps not the most intelligent choice of a celebrity endorser when sensitivity is required.
tl;dr……
wot a spazz.
You should never suggest another woman would be gang raped.
Regardless of political leanings, people are still people.
Liberals can be worse then conservatives about this crap.
Sandra Berhard is a vile, hateful, mean, nasty witch who has some really big chip on her shoulder that all of her “humor” seems to eminate from.
Poor choice. I think she’s funnny as all get-out, but, definitely the wrong choice for a platform like that.
the poor woman has the face like the back end of a pig , you have to feel sorry for her even when she opens her mouth before her brain is engaged
She came to Gay Bingo in Seattle last spring. There was a lot of promotion about her being there and I was looking forward to seeing her. But when she got there it was clearly not cool enough for her. She went on stage, said a few half-assed jokes, then insulted the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and left. I felt like she dissed the whole event.
Ok now that’s humour I like! (re lynn spears) :D
..she may have already been scheduled to attend that event before this whole thing happened –
you guys are so harsh – she’s been doing comedy for a long time and has always been outspoken and outrageous.
Why does that bitch even both curling her hair, coloring it or putting on make up…..she is one ugly mess. Imagine what she looks like in the morning. Ugh.
Wow that woman is ugly as sin. I have no idea who she is, but good lord. and the stab at Lynne Spears was awesome, lol.
God thats an ugly and hateful woman!! ugggg
Wow, what happened to her! She use to be so pretty that she was modeling. She ‘nose’ not what she said. She ‘nose’ not what to say. This is the responsiblity of Rosie’s Place.
Sandra is a comedian and should be free to peddle her show any way she likes.
stb.
She looks like a troll…
Sandra used to be pretty? Really? Polite Tia – do you have any evidence of this?
Please – if you MUST post about her, use someone elses photo or just put something over her face, like a huge black spot. She makes me sick on so many levels.
Wow, nature has not been kind to Sandra over the years. Some sort of karma is at work there.
wait a sec, i’m watching an episode of project runway, and she was the guest judge, and she wore that exact outfit and her hair was exactly the same.
