He used Ernest T. Bass (from the Andy Griffith Show) as the exemplar.
I’d propose Hillary, Obama, Biden, and probably every other Democrat as an example. Hakeem? Nancy? Schumer? Mazie Hirano? Strzok? AOC?
Ugh. The list extends in a widening gyre. I’d still give Barak pole position, with Hillary by his side.
“Gentlemen, you ask for a miracle, I give you… The View…”
I’m not falling for it…

I am not belligerent and you’re going to regret saying that.
My in-laws. My favorite is when they hit me with some liberal sucker punch, then claim they are setting a boundary and are done with the conversation.
Example: They are all about organic food. We drive by a billboard for a gun show. They say that all hunting should be banned because it’s bad for the animals. When I try to point out that hunting provides massive funding for the wildlife department, it’s carefully managed to keep herds to an ideal size, and that it’s the most ethically raised and organic form of meat possible, they say they don’t want to argue and they are done talking about it. Throw the first punch, stop the fight, claim moral victory.
That also sounds like The View.
And man… I’m sorry to hear that. My left-leaning, to lefty friends are mostly willing to argue in good faith. For that I am grateful.
Ok, that comment got far too serious for this website.
Jocularly must ensue!
I will say, while not particularly attractive, at least my in-laws are less offensive to look at than the cast of The View.
*jocularity
… a word I cannot hear without thinking of:
Ernest T. Bass taught a young Biden how to throw rocks at Popcorn, etc.
True story, man!
I meant Cornpop…seems like a century ago already.
Your teacher is not yet pleased with you and your apple-pology.
You got me again….I had to put my bi-focals on again for this one….weird, my glasses identify as bi.
Kinda have to use your magnifying glass for this one. But the general idea is there.
No bifocals needed for this one:
Short good looking babes like that turn me into a Horndog.
Hey: same pose as the teacher with the apple, up above.
Then there is the legend-in-her-own-mind-should-that-actually-exist-but-doubtful representative of TX-30 affectionately known as Gasbag Crackhead. To wit (yes, these are real quotes):
“It is not a criminal violation to enter the country illegally… It’s not a crime.”
“I always tell people that God had this amazing, beautiful plan that I was definitely not clued in on.”
“The more people that come to know and love me, the more people that come to know and hate me.”
“I do believe there’s an even larger microscope on women of color.” (Not at a Spirit counter)
“Without food, our people cannot get healthy and stay healthy.”
“Obama made me feel like we could all fly.” (Obama was a Wright brother?)
“From the Honorable Shirley Chisholm, to the Honorable Barbara Jordan, and many more, I am because they were.”
“Find you a lash tech that you trust, who will make sure that your lashes are exactly what you need.”
“It’s not that I try to be black. I am black.”
Is there a pot going as to what day she will say she likes Venn diagrams and yellow school buses?
