calling someone a falling-down drunk
and saying that someone

If the mark on George's cheek is a carpet burn from falling down drunk..........at least his carpet burns are visible. Our most recent president likely had one or two good'uns on his knees at times that the public was not privy to. Don't ya think?

No apology needed, Max. Ya see, my difficulty was that I wanted to lampoon a Kiwi in return -- but couldn't think of any other than the honorable Kiwi's of the board! so how else could I riposte to CK?
[muttering -e: Unfortunately, the net does not have the Odgen Nash poem illustrating that CK, like any comic, has the difficulty of dealing with oversensive hearers like me. ... poem to be added by edit, once I find it the old fashioned way. [mutter]]

Ah, well, most comics also know that you can only lampoon people who are well-known. And there also has to be an element of perceived truth in the statements.

CK, I at first thought the following was contrary to your post's papal point, but on second thought I realize that it proves your point:
