If you ask me, Annie Duke and her new fans are blowing this Hitler comparison waaayy out of proportion. I mean we\’re poker players for chrissake! Who else do you know can show up for a day at the office and talk about being \”crippled\” with total disregard for the Americans with Disabilities Act … who can talk about RAPING our friends and having a blast while doing it!? Seriously, it would hardly be a big deal in mixed poker company to say, \”Dude, I totally got raped by Clonie, but she was kinda getting raped by Tomer Benvenitsi.\” Pretty much the only thing we can\’t say is \”fuck\” … and even that rule is hardly enforced.
As far as Annie vs. Joan Rivers is concerned, it\’s really just a matter of table image. And really, if experienced poker players can\’t appreciate the humor in a 70something Jewish lady embracing Der Furor over Annie Duke … who can?
