And it’s not to cause a “storm” to make that joke about an 18 yr. old…how exactly? BTW, the issue is all about rude and tasteless. “Rude and tasteless” = offensive. That’s what the “storm” is about, crossing boundaries. And he was referring to the daughter who went to the Yankees game. He migt have thoguht it was Bristol, but it wasn’t. I wonder how hyper lefties would react if he made the same joke about feminist icons like Gloria Steinem, Naomi Wolfe, etc. And they’re not even teenagers.

Nothing to add to the comments above, but it’s time for a reprise of the old joke: The starlet is so stupid that she slept with the writer.

It matter not a whit what one does for a living. We only care if the individual is knowledgeable—when they speak their mind. One of the most astute presidents was Ronald Reagan, a mostly self educated man. Jon Voight has thought long and hard about the issues of the day. He realizes the values of Western Civilization are worth preserving. I thank Voight for going public. It’s probably going to cost him.

Not everyone with military service will (or did) measure up to this standard, and lots of those who never served will – and do every day.

In re the foxhole metaphor, it simply means that one would trust another to stand up when the stakes are high and the chips are down. There’s no doubt that I’d trust Roger and Voight at such a time.
