Joan Rivers: Obama's Gay, Michelle Obama is a "Tranny"

Heh.

The comedian known for her lack of self-censoring recently officiated a same-sex wedding and was asked by a photographer if she believed the United States would ever see the first gay or female president. Her response was typical Rivers.

"We already have it with Obama, so let's just calm down," she said. "You know Michelle (Obama) is a trans."

When asked to further explain Rivers said, "A transgender. We all know it."

She just doesn't care.

She's also asked by PETA why she still wears furs, and begins her answer by saying, "Shut the *** up, you don't know what you're talking about."

After she got the predictable Contrived Outrage, she released a statement saying her "trans" joke about Michelle was a "compliment:"

I think it's a compliment. She's so attractive, tall, with a beautiful body, great face, does great makeup. Take a look and go back to La Cage Au Follies (sic). The most gorgeous women are transgender. Stop it already ...

Ugh. Reminds me of Gary Oldman's post-interview affirmation that "Jews are truly the Chosen People," or whatever he said.

I just hate when people let themselves be bullied into making these Tribal Affirmations.
