Kid gloves for Barry.

See this in the NYT.

Just bizarre. Barry has this thing in a cakewalk. You can't joke about him. You can't question his past. You have no track record to judge him against. He is the true Teflon candidate.

Isn't it a form of racism to not joke about him? Aren't the white comedians and talk show hosts racist for excluding him from their jokes and monologues based on his race? Hmmm, may have to call the Civil Rights Commission.

Jimmy Kimmel gagged on this interview. Barry is "so polished" that there is no possibility for comedy. Seriously? What about the raw ambition that it takes to actually want to be the Prez? No fodder there. How about the former "spiritual advisor"? Well, that would just be mean. Everybody knows that being mean isn't funny. Comedy shouldn't have an edge.

The Letterman guy kacked too. "We can't manufacture perception"? What? Isn't that what great comedians do? Plus, it's really hard to manufacture comedy. If only there were writers and joke-maker guys around to help with this.....

What is going on around here? Sadly, there doesn't seem to be anybody willing to answer that question or take on Barry. Yep, it's a laydown for him. This thing is over. Sorry Johnny Mac.

Hollywood, life and the creative process.

What an interesting view of Hollywood from this article.

First, the keying of cars is not limited to Hollywood and SoCal. I have a colleague that had a Bush-Cheney sticker on his car keyed here at work. In the county garage. We had the same conversation. It would never occur to me to key a car with prominent Democratic stickers. Heck, my arm would get tired. But the fact is, that sticker is on a car that belongs to somebody else. If they want to advertise their idiocy, have at it, Hoss. Keep you mitts off the private property, got it?

Second, I wondered if a close and dear friend has resorted to shouting out "Vote Libertarian" to ensure the operatives from Hollywood that he is in fact on board. Per our recent discussion, we can change our treatment to make the Guantanamo detainees the heroes, really, we can.

Third, I think Breitbart nailed the withering of the creative process. So what are all the people in Hollywood in it for? The art? The money? The politics? The power? Here comes the cynic in me......
