    What did Will Rogers ever get away with?

    I assume this is a serious question and you are unfamiliar with Will Rogers. He could tell politicians to go to he** only he did it so humorously and with such love of people that they all took it kindly and laughed . He once said "I never met a man I didn't like". That is a huge statement to make but I believe him. He recognized human frailties and commented on them but he didn't reject the humans who were guilty of them. He said "humans are the only animals who get embarrassed or need to". Now a very vulgar version of him was Don Rickles. He made a living insulting people like Frank Sinatra and not only got away with it but earned big bucks doing it.  His humor was harsh/cutting and I disliked him intensely. Did I answer your question  Randy? Happy Monday. This post was edited by RosieG at March 20, 2017 8:01 AM MDT

    You're quite welcome  Randy. There was a movie starring Will Rogers Jr who was the spitting image of his dad. It was quite good I thought. If you have an opportunity to see it I think you will enjoy it. Happy Tuesday! :)
