P.J. O'Rourke: Fight Teen Drunk Driving With... Drugs?

[crazyboy4306]

that that that the problem eh eh eh is lol

[impeachbush86]

Use drugs, it'll take the bravery out of them! Getting pulled over for doing a 15 in a 75....FUCKING GENIUS!!! It's sad there aren't many conservatives like him anymore!

[Sondre7]

I love that guy!

[nakedhand]

That guy is a mess. He cant even finish his own sentences. His views and logic absolutely retarded.

[funkalunatic]

This would be funny if he were joking

[liber8me]

he was joking. its called satire.

[funkalunatic]

Satire is when you mock something you disagree with. My impression is that this guy actually believes that if we completely stop regulating driving and drug use, everything will magically be better.

[liber8me]

while it can be used as a tool to attack something an individual disagrees with, it can also be used merely as a source of humour and commentary on an occurance

[TruthJunior]

O'Rourke is a political comedian, so it makes sense that he doesn't have an argument or a viewpoint i guess.

What I don't understand is who finds him funny at all...

[BrianDgreat123]

Holy crap; this dude was totally wasted on stage!

[kaje01]

Holy crap look at the comments. To many people are taking this seriously. He WAS JOKING dummies!

[terpis]

Saw O'Rourke being just as painfully unfunny on the Maher show the other night.

He's just exactly like Mark Twain...if Mark Twain had been a grating, oppressively unfunny gassbag with a reptilian ideology of greed & appetite-worship underpinning his every whack at 'humor'. And were Twain to have had to indicate 'the funny parts' by guffawing at his own words...and were he bankrolled by deep-pocket reactionaries keen to foist on the world this rot.

[hayesism]

Had someone already mentioned Mark Twain, or did you just decide that Twain's method of humour is the only valid one and all others must be judged by their resemblance to his?

Incidentally, given that this is another one of PJ's "whack attempts", would you kindly point out which part of what he said in this video is greed and/or appetite worshipping?

[EnigmaMR]

I fully support drug legalization and regulation, but what is this man's argument?

[Mastikator]

I love how people take jokes seriously just because they hate drugs :D

I don't see how legalizing drugs would reduce drunk driving. But I don't see any good reason to criminalize drugs so what the heck.

[lumpfish99]

what an orifice.....i wouldnt wish it on him so the next best thing is putting him in a house with parents who have lost their kids to drunk drivers for a while....

[beeohhski]

if you smoke weed and drive its alot safer and weed is relitavely harmless so why not give it out at 16 or 17 and its way funner than drinking so im sure kids owuld do that more than anything else

[mikejohncooper]

I'm pretty sure they have accurately correlated slowed reaction times with alcohol consumption. True, teenage boys are too brave, but that's especially bad when their MOTOR SKILLS ARE IMPAIRED BY BOOZE YOU FUCKING ASS CLOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thpt]

This was a joke. Humor. Funny. Overly serious much?

[ikghazali]

Such a dumb argument
