Jon Lovitz refers to the President as a "f***ing a**hole"
http://www.hollywood.com/news/Jon_Lovitz_President_Obama_Verbal_Attack/25156701
In the old days, Saturday Night Live icon Jon Lovitz made a living by criticizing the antics of presidential candidate Michael Dukakis through impressions. Now, Lovitz's political target has changed, as have his methods. On the fourth episode of Lovitz's own podcast, The ABCs of SNL (co-hosted by filmmaker Kevin Smith), the comedian engaged in a heated, obscenity-laden critique of President Barack Obama. At one point, Lovitz referred to the president as "a f**king a**hole."
Lovitz went into detail on his negative perspective of the president, highlighting the latter's position on taxes. "This whole thing with Obama saying the rich don't pay their taxes is f**king b*llsh*t," he said. "If I make a dollar, and I'm taxed at fifty cents, isn't that enough? So for every dollar you make, you have to give two dollars back. 'No, that's not right. You're not paying enough.' It's half. Half! And then they go, 'The rich people have all these deductions.' Well, everyone in this room has the same deductions. You just didn't learn about it."
Although Lovitz qualified his rant by remarking, "I voted for the guy. I'm a democrat" ? does it seem like the master thespian is wholeheartedly behind his controversial statements? Or, is this just an act?

You're not taxed at 50%. And if you're paying 50%, you need a new accountant.
Go back to playing the "That's the ticket" guy, dude.
ETA: " for every dollar you make, you have to give two dollars back" - that's actually being taxed at 200% so...
LOL awesome!
he wasn't saying that is what he IS taxed - he was acting as if that is what Obama wants to happen.
Hey- good for him. I have more respect for him to have the balls to say something against Obama - in such a kissass place like Hollywood. He ceratinly CAN say it - thanks to free speech... but most would never say it b/c they are so afraid of what the liberal asskissers will do to their career. I have never really cared much for him- but i'm proud of him for saying what he thinks.
Not cool. I don't care who you are or what you think you are entitled to say. The President of The United States deserve more respect than that.
All I see is this right here:
I love you but I don't even get this what you just wrote here. Hollywood types aren't all dirty arugula-eating hippies who shyt on cars.
"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread."
His argument, in a more eloquent form...
I don't know. It sounds to me like he's just really bad at math.
I have to agree. I get the office is deserving of respect, but at the same time - I'm his boss. Although I don't think I'd stoop to calling him a fwcking arsehole; there are far better and more intelligent ways to let a President know what I really think.
That show was awesome. I miss it so.
Word for word, this is exactly what came to my mind.
You are so incredibly f*cking obnoxious.
Not that I am agreeing with her, but it is common knowledge that Hollywood is liberal and few conservatives "make it", especially if they are out in the open as conservatives. Why does stating this make her obnoxious? Or is it the slam against the office? I am annoyed with him for saying what he said as the Office deserves respect, but I wouldnt go this far.
First, he made a career out of passive aggressive pot-shots, so it's not like he ever hid what he was thinking. Second, he has no career to be concerned with because he's decidedly one-note. Third, maybe most would never say it because they don't agree. By your logic, Fred Phelps is high nobility.
Agreed
