Some people do consider it to be vulgar. However, the word "ass" in this case refers to an animal (donkey). It's an oxymoron-- basically saying that the person is a witty stupid person. When the word "ass" is used in reference to a rear-end, it's usually considered to be a bad word. But when used in reference to a donkey, it's not.
