* I’ve seen numerous posts full of specious reasoning from the left on why the right can’t be funny, and I said, “Hey, I can do that!” So here is my PJ Media column on why the left are incapable of being funny.
Liberals will point to how many more professional comedians they have, but that’s exactly it. Conservatives can be funny in their spare time, but for liberals to even attempt to be funny, they have to work the entire day at it.
Enjoy!
* RNC chair Reince Priebus dismissed the “war on women” by making a simple point about how the Democrats could make up anything — like a war on caterpillars — and the media would run with that. The media then purposely misinterpreted this simple point so they and the Democrats could screech about it — basically proving Priebus’s point.
We can only spend so much time complaining about media bias, as the media seems to especially attract useless twits and they’re always going to be biased against the right. But just look at the reverse and see how constantly off guard the left end up about things like the popularity of Obamacare (see the Taranto Principle). We don’t want a chorus in the media; we have to keep fighting to stay frosty.
And since the people supposedly on the side of women have supported things that have led to 160 million missing women in this world, caterpillars better be grateful the GOP hasn’t declared war on them, because then the Dems, just to be contrary, would use the full force of government to help caterpillars and the end result would most likely be us never seeing a butterfly ever again.
* You ever wonder if the reason the DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schulz is so over the top horrible that the strategy is people will be too busy making fun of her to make fun of Obama? She’s a honeypot… which is probably the nicest thing anyone has ever said about her.
* If you were worried about unemployment, don’t be. Obama signed a jobs bill. It should all be over soon.
* Wisdom of the Day from Political Math:
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the Buffett rule will reduce the deficit 0%
* Despite fears of global warming, the polar bear population is growing. This sucks, because I was hoping to murder polar bears and that people wouldn’t notice among all the global warming deaths. You ever hold a polar bear’s head underwater to drown him? It takes a while.
The clock struck 13. Republicania was at war with Democratia’s it’s-not-racist-sexist-or-bigoted-to-declare-you-all-must-vote-as-a-bloc group ‘x’. Republicania had been at war with this voting bloc ever since Winston could remember.
The Democratic War on Honest was won by ……………Charlie Sheen. He will be the spokesperson for Democratic Honesty with the new slogan “Winning through Adonis DNA and Tiger Blood”.
also, about that humor bit — you were willing to poke fun at Bush merely for the crime of being President — that’s an important part of humor. It’d be a happier country if the climate were such that you could poke fun at Romney in such a manner right now. (I suppose there was a formula for it — so what is the left going after Romney with and have they left you any air space to spoof it or taken it to the maximum ridiculousness already?)
“Debbie Wasserman Schulz … She’s a honeypot”
There’s something besides honey that draws flies.
From the PJ Media comments:
“The Left doesn’t even bother telling jokes anymore. They just project bigotry onto other people, with a snarky voice and a smug expression, and then wait for the applause.”
Which perfectly describes Jon Stewart’s “Daily Show” schtick.
Sorry, but I have to agree with the premise. Liberals are much, much better at making fun of other people who aren’t there to defend themselves while other liberals cheer them on.
Capitalist_B – Strictly speaking, Frank made fun of how the left made fun of Bush. A subtle but important distinction.
New Dem slogan suggestions:
A Tent for Every Caterpillar
Metamorphosis We Can Believe In
Larva Lovers for Obama
End the war against Mothras
No Pupa Left Behind
As I recall, the President declared war on Caterpillar by saying that its CEO promised a bazillion new jobs if one of the stimulus packages were passed. Since a main tactic of the Libs is projection, then Priebus’ depiction is more real than fantasy.
“Conservatives can be funny in their spare time…”
Mainly because that’s all the time they have. Also, it generally takes very little to amuse them.
Hey, that crow just pooped on my deck! Hehe.
Jimmy – “Hey, that crow just pooped on my deck!”
Wait… was that some sort of mean-spirited, obviously-racist metaphor for Obamacare?
“It should all be over soon.”
Well, if Obama gets re-elected then you got that right.
Never try to kill, date or prescribe medicine to a bipolar polar bear.
“Debbie Wasserman Schulz … She’s a honeypot”
I believe the word you are looking for is “honeywagon”
“Conservatives can be funny in their spare time…” because they have REAL jobs and REAL families that depend on them.f.
Notice how Reince Priebus only appears in print form on the web and in papers? That’s because nobody knows how to pronounce his name. What language is that from?
