Ah, the pettiness.President Obama has failed to issue an official presidential statement of sorrow on the passing of comedienne Joan Rivers, a distinct contrast with little elegy he put out for Robin Williams.You know what I mean, those bulletins that begin, Michelle and I are deeply saddened by the passing of . . . Joan RiversBut not for Joan, even though Rivers was arguably a far more significant figure in the world of comedy and U.S. pop culture than Williams. Not only was she at it longer than him, but she was a pioneer, one of the early female standup comedians, paving the way for the many hilarious women that have followed her. She is an important figure in the movement for women’s equality.
He didn't like her support of Israel, I'd guess.
Probably also wasn't happy that she referred to him as 'gay', and the First Wookie as a 'transvestite'.
