Self-absorbed Laura Ingraham has a fantastic "Who's on first?" moment

You mean when we were fighting nazis? That WAS pretty great, actually.

My grandfather went on a several years trip to Europe, where he literally punched, shot, and bayoneted his way to Germany. Good times.

I do. The second I saw it, I thought it seemed staged and scripted.

not so sure. Abbot and Costello were only pretending to be a couple of idiots.

The interwebs tell me “Who’s on First” was popularized in the 40s by A&C and they rode that horse for many years after.

Sometimes I think about when exactly MAGA is referring to - and I think the late 40s and 50s is when that is.

So - it’s not surprising to see Ingraham pull a bit from the 50s as it hits their core audience Feels Button.

Have you ever known the MAGA crowd to make jokes at their own expense?

In their mind, the more they own themselves the more they own the libs.

As dim as I believe Laura Ingraham to be, I simply can’t believe this wasn’t a set-up. I’m waiting for the “Look, the lib’rals really think I’m that dumb” moment.

Are you kidding me? Haven’t you heard that Brandon joke yet?

I think it happens all the time. It’s just not intentional, and most of the time they’re not even aware of it.

Makes one wonder how much else of theirs is just performance art rather than news.

People who are constantly demonstrating their lack of humor, intelligence and self awareness so poorly when trying to feign it in jest.

One of mine was raining high explosives and incendiaries on German homes; factories and troop concentrations from a heavy bomber. Good times indeed.

Naming a show “You” makes for lots of comedy. Reminded me of trying to sing “Happy Birthday” to this person: Tu Youyou - Facts - NobelPrize.org Or the band “The The” The The - Wikipedia.

Wow, that’s a big ego.

Also, that dude is terrible at explaining things.
