This is actually a reference to a statement made by James Watt, the controversial Interior Secretary for Ronald Reagan, that ended up forcing his resignation.
It seems to me that if we had a little more of Limekiller’s in your face honesty and a whole lot less hypocritical PC that we’d all be a whole lot better off.
Oh my – 1983 – the coal-leasing review commission – I had forgotten! Also made me think about Earl Butz – someone I hadn’t thought of in years. The more things change ….
Now there are probably a few people thinking “James Watt? What does the steam engine have to do with political correctness?” To them I say “Nice job – stick with things that really are important!” :)
I don’t think being PC is automatically hypocritical, it’s more taking a moment to think before you speak – trying to be PC often is strained and funny tho
Yes, old reference to an old scandal. Replace the word “dips” with “Jews” and the first two pannels are a direct quote from Secretary of the Interior James Watt. If you can find the old video, he actually got quite a good laugh from the audience, but critics quickly sobered and he got loudly roasted by the next day. Not sure if this was his final gaffe or if it was the Beach Boys concert “Devil Muisc” one.
How about getting the memo about simply being polite - that is, caring about one’s fellow human beings? Do that and 99 44/100% of “political correctness” stops being an issue.
That said: if looks could kill from the woman (sorry, I forget her name momentarily)…the dips are going nuts…the black is absolutely glacial…and Cutter John’s looking right through the fourth wall…

I like Limekiller’s forthrightness. Too bad the PC wusses won’t put up with it….

I was with him until “two Dips”. But that put it over the top.
For shame Mr. Limekiller for shame… Than again, he should get brownie points for not calling her a “Chick” or “Dame”.

At least you can’t accuse Limekiller of being biased.
He insults everybody equally.

No one remembers James Watt references anymore.
That’s probably for the best…

If you know political-speak they say stuff like this all the time.

At least he was less irresponsible than Ronald “We Begin Bombing in Five Minutes” Reagan.

Perhaps needless to say, this one’s a keeper.
