Chris Rock explains the economics of pancakes
On the same stage Friday night, Chris Rock played to one of the largest rooms a comedian will ever work. As many as 60,000 of the estimated 80,000 in attendance watched him command the crowd with a relentless pace and sharp observations.
Rock, of course, had barbs for the presumed presidential nominees, John McCain and Barack Obama — who he said has a name so black-sounding that he could be “the bass player for the Commodores.”
The comedian wondered how gas prices could be so high considering the Iraq war: “Let me tell you something. If I invade IHOP, pancakes are going to be cheaper in my house.”
