THE line between being outrageously funny and simply offensive can be hazy at times.
Calling the president of the USA “gay” and his wife a “tranny” lands pretty firmly on one side of that line — at least in this case.
Veteran comedienne Joan Rivers, who has made a career out of bitingly acidic wisecracks, appeared to forget the “funny” part of her brief when she had a go at Barack and Michelle Obama.
The 81-year-old TV host fired off when asked, in an off-the-cuff street interview, if she thought the US will ever have a gay or woman president.

“We already have it with Obama, so let’s just calm down,” she said, adding: “You know Michelle is a tranny.”
The apparently shocked interviewer asked her to repeat herself, to which Rivers replied: “A transgender. We all know. It’s okay.”
She then walked off.
The conversation — caught on camera, below — began with the interviewer congratluating Rivers, who is spruiking her book Diary Of A Mad Diva, on officiating at a same-sex wedding, before he moved on to the “gay president” question.

The comedienne has not apologised, nor has the White House responded, although the exchange is gaining attention.
Conservative website Breitbart.com noted that Rivers “often refuses to make amends for her cutting remarks, like when she dubbed the powerhouse singer Adele ‘fat’ and wouldn’t back off when confronted on it.”
Its writer Christian Toto goes on to note that while Republican President George W. Bush was targeted with far more insulting “humour” — to far less outrage — than the Obamas, if there is enough outrage then Rivers’ “long career faces a serious threat.”
