RADIO CITY FILTH FEST.
NY Post 7-12-04 Editors
If it's an election year, it must be time for another foul-mouthed
fund-raiser for a Democratic Party presidential candidate at Radio
City Music Hall.
Last week's Kerry/Edwards event at the storied New York venue raised
$7.5 million to say nothing of eyebrows from coast to coast.
The dependably vulgar Whoopi Goldberg set the tone for the evening,
rolling out a string of X-rated jokes playing off President Bush's
name.
This wasn't the first time that "entertainers" have felt the need to
resort to obscene humor at a political event held at Radio City Music
Hall.
Four years ago, the Democratic National Committee held a fund-raiser
at the same venue. Then-presidential nominee Al Gore was in
attendance. Comedian and actor John Leguizamo got on stage and
proceeded to unleash a volley of obscene and scatological comments.
Gore failed to upbraid Leguizamo or any of the event producers.

MR. RUSSERT: I went back and re-read your speech on the floor of the
Senate October 9, and I want to share that with you and our viewers...
SEN. KERRY: Absolutely.
MR. RUSSERT: ...because you repeated many of exactly the same claims
and concerns that President Bush did.
SEN. KERRY: Correct.
MR. RUSSERT: Let's watch.
(Videotape, October 9, 2002):
SEN. KERRY: Iraq has some lethal and incapacitating agents and is
capable of quickly producing weaponizing of a variety of such agents,
including anthrax, for delivery on a range of vehicles, such as bombs,
missiles, aerial sprayers and covert operatives which would bring them
to the United States itself.
In addition, we know they are developing unmanned aerial vehicles
capable of delivering chemical and biological warfare agents.
According to the CIA's re****t, all U.S. intelligence experts agree
that they are seeking nuclear weapons. There is little question that
Saddam Hussein wants to develop them.
In the wake of September 11, who among us can say with any certainty
to anybody that the weapons might not be used against our troops or
against allies in the region? Who can say that this master of
miscalculation will not develop a weapon of mass destruction even
greater, a nuclear weapon?
