It depends on what your definition of "is" is.

Very good, JimS. Got any more tasteful jokes? Maybe some about
people dying of cancer or AIDS?
I like sophmoric humor as well as anyone, but I would expect to
be brought up short if I made fun of the disabilities of anyone
dying of an incurable disease. Particularly if I exercised such
poor taste in a public forum.
Yeah, I thought of making a joke like that, but passed on it, because it
could be taken as an
Alzheimer's joke. I would have, though (and the poster probably did) mean
it as a reference to
slimebag Reagan's slimebag Iran Contra debacle, after which he multiply
purgured himself by claiming
to not remember anything about the whole thing. (Then another slimebag
who tried to destroy
evidence was made out to be a hero of the right-wing). See:
