FUNNY?

Well, for once, the Democrats and the Republicans are on the same page.
Seems a “comedian” made some racist jokes at Donald Trump’s recent New York City rally. The jokes – which I won’t bother to repeat here – were in poor taste and not funny (which makes you wonder why the Trump folks booked the guy in the first place, because that’s his reputation). Anyway, representatives of both Republicans and Democrats have spoken up about this guy’s humor as being completely classless and in poor taste.   
Confronted with the push-back, the “comedian”, Tony Hinchcliffe, could only come up with that oh-so-typical defence all “comedians’ who use poor taste as a means to try to get a laugh use… you know, the one that goes: "These people have no sense of humor.” Oh, and then he added that he makes jokes about lots of people: Puerto Ricans, Latinos, Jews, Blacks… as if this makes everything OK.
I was a fan of the late Don Rickles. He too was an insult comedian”, using his quick wit, biting humor, and uncanny ability to roast anyone and everyone – from Hollywood celebrities to politicians to everyday people (he had President Ronald Regan doubling over with laughter). But you know what: with Don, you always knew he wasn’t serious. With a lowlife like Mr. Hinchcliffe, there is no niceness: it’s just vituperation. And he wouldn’t know humor if he fell on it.
Nice try pal. Now, be a good boy and go back to your cave.
