Jimmy Fallon finally breaks the comic barrier and mocks Biden
By Andrea Widburg
On Tuesday, alleged comedian Samantha Bee and disgraced “journalist†Dan Rather talked about how it’s impossible to mock Biden for fear of undermining his policies. One day later, Jimmy Fallon did a small segment about Biden that was the equivalent of those old (and enjoyable) “bad lip reading†videos. Some think that the bloom is off the rose for the left, but I’m not so certain. Call me cynical, but I think that this is the first step in “The Ascension of Kamala Harris.â€
For eight years, America’s so-called comedians brutally ridiculed and mocked President George W. Bush. Then, for eight years, the same crew didn’t touch Obama. He was the light-bringer and was above humor. Also, the comedians were afraid that, if they dare joked about Obama, they’d be accused of being racist. That one word was so powerful it turned Obama into the Teflon president. Nothing could stick.
When Trump became president, the comedians were back in business. This time around, though, they didn’t even try to be funny. Their invariably leftist audiences were instead primed for laughter. All that the left-wing comics had to say was “Trump is stupid,†or “Trump is dangerous,†or “Trump is…[something else negative and even foul]†and the audience would laugh, even without the helpful prompting of a “laugh†cue card. The word “Trump†was a fish and they were the trained seals, barking for a taste.
Now that Biden is in the White House, things have gotten problematic for the comic crew. Objectively speaking, Biden’s chronic stupidity, ego, and crudeness, along with that touch of senility, are a comic’s dream. The jokes – funny jokes – should be writing themselves.
