Louis C.K discusses his uncomfortable Tonight Show appearance with Bristol Palin after he slammed her mother via Twitter.

If you are unfamiliar with the work of Louis C.K let me just warn you that the language is definitely NSFW and is directed at adults only. If you are easily offended or dislike explicit language then just scroll right on past it.  There is an interesting piece by the Alaska Dispatch, and a fun video from Jon Stewart, right below it. In other words NOBODY is making you read this! I don't want to hear any crap from you people later saying that your virgin ears have been defiled, or that you expected better of me, or that you are now leaving this blog forever and NEVER coming back. (I think the same person has made that last threat at least twelve times now.)

Okay that is my disclaimer so now, only if you want, you may enjoy the rest of this post.
From Comic's Comic:

"It (the camera) cut off my face, while she was talking, and I was really, because I was looking at this monitor, and I'm like, do I go like this (he tilts his face to the left and mugs), do I edge out, which is awkward, because the audience was looking at me. And I didn't want to do this (stands awkwardly), but I also didn't want to go (mugs again). Yeah. OK. I wrote mean things about Sarah Palin on Twitter. And not because I'm political. But because it's fun. I do think she's Hitler. But that's not why I do it. I do it because it's fun. But I let myself have fun at her expense, because she's Hitler. Her being Hitler allows me in my head to say mean things about her, but that's not the reason. The reason is because it's just fun. Because she's just an amazing, beautiful perfect villain. She's just crystalline. She says things that are at perfect right angles to truth and reason, and that blows me away. It's poetry when that woman speaks. And I'm sexually attracted to her boobs. She's sexually attractive, to me. But I do think she's terribly dangerous, and I do think she could really Hitler up the place. And by the way, once, I wrote on Twitter that she's the new Hitler, and I got this immediate -- like, immediate -- email on the same device, from somebody that I kinda, whatever, I don't want to say who, who said, 'You gotta take that down. You can't compare a person in the public eye to someone who killed six million Jews.' And I said, 'Well, I'm not saying that she's that Hitler. She's the early Hitler, when he was building power. I don't know how many Jews he was going to kill. But I know that she's building power the same way. Hitler was voted into office through this weird, like he took a bunch of seats, and he got this party going, and he just started intimidating people, and that's exactly what she's doing. Again. I don't care. I'm not political, but why not? Fuck it. If Hitler was running, I'd say 'Hey, fucking losers, suck my dick, Hitler!' And I wouldn't feel like, oh, that's not that nice. Fuck 'em. He's Hitler.

"So I write things about her, people living in her cunt, or whatever it is, and then, yeah, so I go on the Tonight Show. I had no idea. Until I arrived, and I'm walking past the dressing room and it's Bristol, her fucking daughter is on the show. And we sat there, and she talked to Jay, but she, to me, I just saw a young girl who's very nervous -- she was terribly nervous -- be on the Tonight Show. And after her segment I told her, 'You did a good job. That's not easy.' And she said, 'Thank you.' She's very nice. So she invited me to stand there and dance. And I knew I was paying some kind of penance, for what I'd done, I'm standing there like this, me, Bristol Palin, fucking Jay Leno, and some dude from Dancing with the Stars, and I'm standing there kinda like this, and I'm like, this is totally karma. Pretty direct karma."

Wow!  And people say I don't have a filter.

    Louis is brilliant, and in case you didn't know it, he's correct on his German history, too. What drives me most insane is I'm banned from even putting the name "Hitler" in Huffington Post comments, but how can we have an historical discourse WITHOUT putting the names Palin and Hitler in the same sentence. It is precisely the same fear tactics he used in the early thirties...and I won't stand for having a demagogue like him again in my lifetime.

    Louis is absolutely correct.

    If someone had called Hitler, say 'Lenin' (there's no one quite bad enough to compare to here or at least it wasn't common knowledge at the time) in say, 1930, hitler's supporters would have been up in arms; 'how dare you compare adolf to Lenin. Lenin was a monster that killed monarchists and overthrew his own countrys government!'

    It's only now we know the truth; that Lenin was a fluffy kitten compared to the fuhrer.

    I often think about if I was transported to say 20's or v early 30's Germany and I had the opportunity to kill Hitler, you know, what would happen. The fact is I'd be despised just like any other political assassin, locked up or put to death. But I'd have saved millions of lives without anyone ever being the wiser.

    That's why I feel Louis is doing the right thing. He's telling the truth about how he sees it and honestly I think it's people like him that if everything goes the bad way, the terrible unthinkable way, he will be respected as a Paul Revere character. People are just too damn afraid to eve compare anything or anyone to the Nazi's. But; let's be clear, you can be a fascist without the deaths. Referring to the holocaust is a way we are intimidated into not discussing it.

    The holocaust happened along with the fascism but fascism can occur without a holocaust. We need to be able to determine the differences between democracy and millions slaughtered! There is a land in between that, and America is standing in it.

    I cannot feel sorry for poor Bristol having to sit next to a comedian who made fun of her mother. And that would include the host, Jay, along with LCK. It was Bristol's choice to appear on DWTS, and the contract involved public appearances. If she is shy, awkward, a poor dancer, no rhythm, nervous and embarrassed by a crude comedian. that is too bleeping bad. Bristol is an adult who signed the contract and had to understand at least a little bit of what she was getting into. At least she was willing to sell her soul for a couple of hundred thousand dollars.

    It's crap about dancing for the unwed mothers, showing her work ethic, being modestly dressed, it is all crap. And LCK was dead-on right in making fun of Sarah. In case you don't remember, Mel Brooks made a ton of money making fun of Hitler in "The Producers," in the original movie with Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel, on the stage, and back on the screen again. LCK was accurate- Early Hitler. Sarah is amassing power, and if the Republicans get in power, watch for them to do something like dissolving the Reichstag, the German Parliament. Newt wants to close down the government, and the Republicans want to paralyze the government with investigations and hearings. Political speeches and warnings don't seem to resonate with people. Maybe humor will.

    i think louis is hilarious, though those were some pretty raunchy tweets he put out about sister sarah. hey, freedom of speech teabaggers! he is recently divorced, so maybe his eyes are wandering more than usual. i think he could have made fun of her even better than that, though - there is so much material, no need to be all raunch, though there were, as always, some wickedly funny, never previously used expressions of profanity as there always are with louis. but watching him go through his karma on leno was way funnier. imagining the conversation going on in his mind. perhaps they were both drawn together by karma.
    i hope louis keeps satirizing sister sarah - he is dead on with the early hitler comparison and his description of her tortured relationship with the truth.
    oh, and by the way, i don't see why he loves sarah's breasts - she's not too well endowed. something for everyone, i guess. apologies to my small breasted sisters, but i think louis has distorted her size as his tweet indicates denali size when the cold reality is the flat and icy tundra. weird.
    great comments, too, gryph. no need to apologize but it was good i guess to warn your readers so they could choose whether or not
    to take a peek. some of his original drunk tweets from the plane he was taking to lax can be accessed here:
    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/02/louis-ck-drunk-twitter_n_703530.html
    but interestingly, if you look on his twitter page, it seems he tweleeted (deleted) the raunchy tweets about sarah. wonder why.

  23. Louis CK is hilarious. His pairing with Bristol on Leno was delicious but I'm sorry he saw it as karmic retribution. I think the karma was probably going the other way. He should also cut himself a break given that Jay Leno has personally delivered a barrage of Bristol Palin jokes.

    “Gov. Palin announced over the weekend that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter is five months pregnant. And you thought John Edwards was in trouble before! Now he has really done it. -- "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," 9/2/08

    "And we're learning more and more about Governor Palin. Apparently her daughter's name is Juno." --Jay Leno

    "All the Republicans are heaping praise on Governor Palin. Fred Thompson said, as an actor, he could see them making a movie about Sarah Palin and her family. Didn't they already make that movie? I think it was called 'Knocked Up!'"--Jay Leno

    "And some sad news. Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin's daughter, has broken up with babydaddy Levi Johnston. I was stunned when I heard. I mean, really, if two kids without a decent education and no jobs and a baby can't make it, what hope is there for the rest of us?" --Jay Leno

    The Washington Post wrote that Leno had told 15 Bristol jokes through mid-March 2009. It’s especially astonishing since David Letterman was made out to be a pervert. The Palins can’t claim ignorance of the Leno jokes since WaPo asked them to respond to questions about targeting Letterman.

    She seems to have a good attitude about it. No, this isn't her element and it infuriates me that while many have danced hard for a break, she gets one being a pregnant Grizzly Cub, but she is likable. I doubt that she knew who LCK was and if she did, she'd have made an idiot out of herself calling him out on it. I didn't pick up the frightened vibe from her. Maybe resigned? But she is OK.

    I hope she does all right.

  29. New photos of Bristol & partner practicing look like she's already slimmed down....except for an interestingly shaped belly.

    I hope Bristol gets enough votes to keep her on the show. If that belly is just fat it should be gone by week 2. Her effort to explain that she's going to wear 'conservative' costumes just raises suspicion.

    The photos of Bristol "practicing" her dance routines are a joke. Who practices dancing in a jacket with three shirts underneath? What is with that little belly she is trying to hide?

    OK, Gryphen, you tantalized us earlier with the comment that Bristol WAS pregnant this summer. Is she still pregnant? Was there a miscarriage or did Sarah step in and nip something in the bud besides her daughter's brief engagement? I vote for something going on when Bristol suddenly hated Levi again, pack up and moved back with mommy and daddy. We lost sight of her for a little while. Is that when IT happened? Inquiring minds want to know.

    But the things that Sarah Palin is doing in our country, trying to start racial and Muslim wars, she is fair game to say WHATEVER he wants to. SARAH says whatEVER she wants to say. Sarah also puts her children in the spotlight, and Bristles makes LOTS of money, if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

    First of all, Bristle Palin has no business being on any TV show, so if she was offended, too bad. She has no talent, and is a no-body, no nothing, that couldn't even finish high school. Oh, yeah, she claims she did, big lie. You can't miss that many days and graduate from any school.
    Being an unwed mother of the biggest hater in our country isn't a reason to be on tv.

  38. Curioser, those pics are indeed very strange. Bristol has a very nice figure - I have always thought - I don't go in for this "Be Extra Thin" fascism about the female body. She is not fat, but she sure looks pregnant, to me. In those pics, and in other ones as well. And as another poster commented, her dancing partner puts his hand on her waist, rather than around her belly, as they usually do.

    Just listened to a radio interview (interviewer sucked) with Bristol. I didn't know she played football. She woman was asking her about the midterm elections. ??? Really? Thats like asking Meghan McCain about policy and econ strategy. Just because theyre political progeny doesnt mean they themselves are attune to politics in a professional way.

  41. I'll eat my words. Looking at the dance practice photos the belly looks suspicious and matches the shape of baby bump pics sent to me from a 22 week mom to be.

    I agree there is too much hype about "modest costumes" and now Bristol will get in shape or lose weight. I am influenced by past behavior of Sarah's smugness to "hide" her pregnancy, the obvious attempt to hide Bristol's pregnancy, the anger to announce the teen's pregnancy (what..can't pull one over on the public??hide truth??) and Bristol hitting the airwaves crying Levi might have gotten someone pregnant..then weeks later she is not sad at all (Leno show)post great drama of fleeing to mom and dad's house. Nothing adds up...BP's against reality shows, the limelight then suddenly she is again in the limelight. Their personal chaos and dramas for cash is a red flag.

  42. WTF. Those pics from DWTS, the current set & the older set, which I'm assuming were taken about a week ago look like a completely different person. The older ones look like she's pregnant, & similar body shape as she did on Leno, but these newer ones Bristol looks much slimmer. 10-15 lbs lighter in less than a week? Pretty much impossible. So, what has she been doing?

    Regarding the dance rehearsal photos, who in their right mind would "work out" with 3 tops and a jacket on? In some other photos that I have seen, it looks like she may have removed the black jacket at some point, but still. That is just too weird. Maybe Bristol just does not get sweaty, but I bet she will be sweating bullets the first night of the show.

    She totally looks pregnant in those pictures--and most telling is the fact that her belly is much bigger than her chest--and this, despite the fact that she's wearing THREE layers of spandex to flatten everything out. Her breasts, which are fatty tissue are flattened...however, her stomach is not, it protrudes not just in the belly-flab area, but from the base of her pelvis up through the lower ribs--it is not flatted as it would be if it were just fatty tissue which is squooshy, it's clearly hard--like something in there.

    As far as people thinking she can't exercise while pregnant--not true. This type of dancing is VERy low intensity exercise, on par with walking, lots of stop start, totally low impact and small moves...women can keep running or doing high impact aerboics up until the 8th month--this dancing is nothing in terms of intensity and certainly not impact.

    How long does this show last? Three months? 2 months?

    If this was post-partum belly fat it would be jiggly, not hard and protruding--despite all that Lycra.

    I think LCK is saying he is sexually attracted to her books BECAUSE she is the PERFECT villain. Just b/c they are small doesn't mean they affects the 'man' psyche like they do.

    It's the whole kinky roll playing thing and Sickster Scarah has known how to use her 'assets' since the very beginning. They don't have to be big for guys to get all creepy about it. I think he is trying to explain that and make fun of it.
