Thank God comedy still exists (barely).
Larry the Cable Guy is doing something late night talk show hosts will not: make fun of the President.
Late nightās regular so-called funny men may not be interested in the foibles of the Biden administration, but old school stand-up Larry the Cable Guy is happy to pick up their slack.
On August 15, as the situation on the ground in Afghanistan was unraveling, the Blue Collar Comedy veteran quipped, āOur countryās leadership right now reminds me of a wal-mart on Black Friday when only 2 cashiers are working and no one can find a manager.ā
A couple of days later, his humor grew even more pointed.
Responding to a post about the U.N. ambassadorās comment that due to āa very strongly worded press statementā the Biden admin, ā[expects] the Taliban to respect womenās rightsā and ā be respectful of humanitarian law,ā Larry cracked, āNothing scares terrorists more than a strongly worded press statement.ā
The voice of Mater in Pixarās āCarsā franchise has also talked about other cultural issues, saying of news that Christian Baker Jack Phillips is being dragged into court by LGBT activists again, āBecause nothing says my beliefs are being violated like going out of your way to violate other peopleās beliefs.ā
Not that Larry, whose real name is Daniel Lawrence Whitney, is a partisan hack. He happily lampoons the right side of the political aisle as well, joking, āWaitā¦ I thought Pence was the first humanoid Robot,ā to a story about Elon Muskās new robot technology.
