You know what he's about. He's just a boring old culture warrior who has to inject his personal politics into every situation while simultaneously decrying how everything is now political.

What makes it a joke? Why is it funny? Explain to everyone why no one wanting to take credit for WAP is funny.

I don't think there's a reason that doesn't circle back to my original assessment of the guy.

How does that make not wanting to take credit for it a joke?

And was this the first song that was "amazingly vulgar" or "inappropriate for most conversations"?

This is a conversation, not a deposition.

Deflection after deflection. If you really have no defense of the guy, don't step in to defend him.
