He talked about how he wanted to bring, I think the way he put it was, pussy jokes to the Middle East.

Mission accomplished, Dave, in Saudi Arabia.

And that's the... He's...

trying to, if you want to judge him by what he clearly is saying is his standard, which again, is not letting anybody tell him what to say.

then Dave Chappelle is passing that.

He's doing great.

He is one of the greatest that has ever existed at being clever with going in any direction he wants, whether it's politically correct or not.

On the other hand, the moral question of Dave Chappelle going to Saudi Arabia and justifying it, I mean, what he's saying basically,

It's a little muddled, which is okay because he's a comedian.

But on the one hand, he's saying he doesn't care.

On the other hand, he's saying, well, maybe there's something good about Western comedians taking the Saudis' money and making these jokes.

There were guidelines, I think, I forget who posted them, I think it was Tim Dillon who posted them at the time, about what comedians could and couldn't say during that festival.

They weren't allowed to criticize the government, if my memory serves me correctly.

And so that is, you know, if you're a comedian and you want to talk about American politics, Chappelle's saying that it's easier for him

to talk about politics in Saudi Arabia.

This is actually a claim that he's made than it is here.

And it's true.

David Chappelle has gotten absolutely roasted here for saying completely normal things about American politics, men and women, sex, biology.

It's true.

He's absolutely gotten roasted for that.
