Weigel The Wussie.
Tank laughed at this joke because, let's be honest, he is an ultra bad person.
Also:
This is why "that's not funny" is so often funny.
I read this last night and though the original tweet was clever and funny. And of course, we used to be able to joke and make fun of each other, including the opposite sexes. You know, men and women. (I cannot account for any new offshoots).
But this is how it has always been. Humans being able to joke about each other. Yes, there can be some maliciousness in the joking, but that only opens the door for you to get clever and funny back at me. It's an invitation to come back at me with something.
Todays Left/Wokesters are so freaking humorless that they cannot see anything funny in anything. However, they do find it appropriate and almost sacramental to attack men, particularly white, straight men. That sacrament is not only allowable, but necessary to show you're of the faith.
That Dave Weigel shows his weasel side when the parishioners came at him is not surprising. If he had simply told them to take a flying leap at a rolling donut it would have been so much more effective. Those people who cannot believe that someone tweeted this need to get some serious help. A world led by humorless, genderless beings who insist we live by candlelight and pray to Gaia is going to be inconvenient for a lot of folks. I don't think humanity is going to go along with it.
That made me laugh. LOL Even leftists can crack bad jokes.
Off with his head! Guards - seize him!
No sense of humor.
That's not funny!!!
Why not both?
Lighten up, Frances.
I thought it was pretty good. I also thought that, given what we read on the m5m, it was pretty on point.
Not true of all women. Probably not true of 90% or more of women.
But true enough that dating or even talking to women seems like playing Russian roulette.
If I were in the dating pool today, I'd probably be incel or gay. Those robotic sex dolls might be another option.
I'm a coward. Sure me.

Is his platform Twitter or The Washington Post? One thing is certain, if nobody complained about the retweet, I wouldn’t have known it existed.
I get it. The joke's offensive to girls that are both bipolar and bisexual.
Jen Psaki: "That's not funny."
All woke and no joke makes Dave a dull boy.
It's a joke. Tell jokes about dumb husbands or asshole men if you like.
But then, anybody with any public presence (i.e. blue checkmark people) ought to know better than to tell offensive jokes in public. Retweeting a joke about African-Americans or Jews or Asians will also get you into trouble. Leave the sketchy material up to the proles.
>"I just removed a retweet of an offensive joke. I apologize and did not mean to cause any harm."<
No problem, Dave, because words and jokes don't cause harm...well, you know, except in the warped imaginations of those who go around needing and seeking their own little piece of the "harm" action.
Love love love Felicia's "allowed." You don't have dig even an inch deep to see what kind of frustrated authoritarian lives in her skin. That she works at one of the country's most prominent (deserved or not) newspapers is disturbing.
the problem with the "joke" was; it ignored the Power, of the word 'And'
Boo hoo hoo. Get over yourself.
Everything you need to know about American popular media culture in 2022.......distilled in one perfect Tweet/package.
This one needs to go into a time capsule.

I guess any joke that is in any way unflattering to women can be declared "harmful," but what exactly is the "harm" in this instance?
Pussies all.
Politically incongruent? Ethical religion. NOW they care. #HateLovesAbortion
THAT'S NOT FUNNY, DAMMIT
Of course not every woman is Bi. Maybe physically able to have sex either way, but that is about it. My experience is that maybe half the Lesbians I have ever met were probably wired bisexual. To the Lesbians out there - if you get insanely jealous of me, when I am flirting with your GF, it’s because she is Bi, flirting back, and deep down, you know it, that I am competition, and can give her things that you can’t. There is a sexual tension between straight men and women, regardless of their respective ages. When a guy has that with a lesbian, then she is wired Bi. When not, she is wired homosexual. My partner has the same thing with (supposedly) gay guys. More guys though seem to fall into the homosexual than bisexual side, while for me, maybe half the lesbians I have me are probably wired bisexual - essentially a sharper divide between heterosexual and homosexual wired guys, than gals.
That was a LOL moment when I saw it last night. My wife looked at me like I had finally gone over the edge. I shared the tweet, and she knew I hadn't changed. Always teased the the freshmen women by asking if the were BUG? Bi until graduation. This freshens that old stale joke.
You will laugh at nothing, and you will be happy.
Looks like Weigel's balls are gone, if he ever actually had any.
Should tag Wapo. That's what makes it weird. Trashing employer in tweet.
Huh. I always thought that BIPOC was an acronym for bipolar communists.
We are living in the 'That's not funny' age.
It was a joke. Not a great joke but humorous. Lighten up...
What’s troubling is that there are people who immediately see “harm” in tweets.
"It's the fact that you didn't immediately see the harm that is concerning for someone with your platform."
That statement just reeks of elitism. Kincaid obviously believes that journalists must be perfect gods of some kind. And like a god, you have your throne or "platform" that you use to send your great wisdom down to the mere mortals. And Kincaid is even better than you because he is able to so perfectly correct you. (And he's also concerned.)
This whole Twitter thing is weird. Most people see it as a social media platform for making personal comments on your own time off the clock. (Unless it's the twitter feed for an organization, of course.) But a lot of people see it as a 24/7 extension of the workplace and hold people up to that standard.
"Fantastic to work at a news outlet where retweets like this are allowed."
Personally, I would never want to work for a place that wouldn't "allow" me to tell a bad joke in a public place when I'm off the clock.
This is what happens when the Internet comes under the sway of a pack of escapees from the Charles Manson Memorial Middle School For Troubled Youth.

I thought it was funny. I must be a misogynist--I also thought Amber Heard was an unmitigated shrew.
Can't people see the difference between an outrageous statement as part of a joke and a serious claim? Apparently some can't. Scott Adams says that about 1/3 or so of people just don't understand jokes and humor. Not that they don't like the joke. But they don't see it as a joke. It's the equivalent of a visual or hearing deficit.
So if we don't want to offend anyone, we can't have jokes. That is the new rule of the left. Last people I want at my dinner party.
Ha, Ha Wiegel is funny guy. You go to cancel gulag!
The joke was hilarious and probably cut too close for some. Roughly half of the women I have met in the last several years are eager to tell me they are bi-polar.
Well, except. It's not either/or. Most women I have dealt with have been neither, at least as far as I knew (But what do I know?). But there are some who are both.
A lot of very smart people have tried to figure out how evolution allows anything other than balls-to-the-walls cis-het to exist, since anything else is about as maladaptive as you can get. Behavioral sterility. But no one has come up with any very compelling theory. Maybe we need to consider that actual sterility is very common -- among social insects. The theory there is that the entity that is actually selected is the Hive, and the individual insects are like cells in the hive. A cell that dies while improving the fitness of the body of which it is part enhances the chances for the genes that produced it. Maybe homosexuality is a step down that road. That would explain why the Commies are so fond of it.
Demonstrates again that leftism is religion without redemption (hattip Jon Gabriel).
This is also why, as Larry Correia advises, you never negotiate with terrorists. Even social terrorists.
Weigel needs a therapy session with "The Hot Crazy Matrix."
"It's the fact that you didn't immediately see the harm that is concerning for someone with your platform."
I kind of like how they have shortened the spike protein here. They no longer need to go into a long spiel about how X is privileged because X has been oppressed and your speech extends that oppression and therefore must be suppressed in the interest of X. Now it's just
YOUR SPEECH = HARM!
Or, "Stifle yourself, Edith!"
Dear Felicia Snooze,
If you genuinely think you're "harmed" by a joke on twitter, you are a pathetic loser and an emotional child, who should not have any religion world position of responsibility.
Grow up
Did Ricky Gervais laugh?
Did Will Smith?
(I did.)
Irreconcilable. Harless roasts... Tweets... tweaks the perpetually perturbed (PP) with an politically incongruent allegation of diversity.
All the polars outed themselves.
Haha- just got it.
I was thinking polar opposite.
It’s a “that’s not funny” funny. Yes?
Terrible people that must be defeated at all costs.
Is AND an option?
What might be fun is a girl who is manic with me and depressive with the ladies.
Jokes now need to come with a cooling off period.
"an interval after a sales contract is agreed upon during which the purchaser can decide to cancel without loss"
You may laugh and RT as long as you don't wait too long to take it back.
Weigel has not yet learned that apologizing for, literally, nothing is an incredibly terrible idea.
Waitaminute. "Every girl is bi" ? Well that's just not true! Not even close. Must be some sort of joke or something.
Anyone know that racist joke about a Chinese guy skipping flat rocks on a pond to hear his ancestors' family names each time a rock hit the water? And a black dude walking up to ask what was going on?
Forbidden, but still hilarious.
I denounce myself.
Three of my all-time favorite girlfriends are bisexual. One of those is also bipolar. She could be a lot of fun. At times….
When powerful institutions like the Washington Post silence speech through social pressures and fear of retaliation, they are behaving like monarchs who use lèse-majesté laws to stifle protest. (Lèse-majesté laws impose jail terms for for defaming, insulting or threatening the monarchy.)
“Irreconcilable. Harless roasts... Tweets... tweaks the perpetually perturbed (PP) with an politically incongruent allegation of diversity.“
So, funny then? :0)
I'm surprised that DW doesn't have the Twitter Blue feature that allows one to delay publishing one's pearls of wisdom for four or five minutes (whatever it is, I don't know); of course for it to be useful one would have to be at least susceptible to doubt about one's wisdom and insight.
Anyone else notice the scold, Kincade- has a snowflake avatar?
"Anyone know that racist joke about a Chinese guy skipping flat rocks on a pond to hear his ancestors' family names each time a rock hit the water? And a black dude walking up to ask what was going on?

Got a link?
Both moves equally are pathetic seeking of unmerited approval.
It’s a “nuts and sluts” joke.
I don't get the joke.... but then, I am not a biologist.
Hilarious joke! Amber is not bipolar but she is bisexual, a true red flag if there ever was one. Hypersexual promiscuous they should be called omnisexual in that they would schtup anything. The world is their sex object. No, she's definitely a borderline personality, you know a shit-the-bed killer in training. Entitlement up the kazoo, turn-on-a-dime lunatic much much more dangerous than a poor bipolar person. Talk about identity disorder!
It's funny because it's true.
I agree that the best Weigel response would bw to tell critics to buzz off but that opens a can of worms because going that way on ANY of these kinds of things means you've become a conservative. I don't just mean in the eyes of the loony moral crew. I mean in reality.
