The Hackery Of Jackie Mason

3:22 pm EST August 17th, 2007 | News | 12 Comments

Why is it all the past their prime ex-comedians (you cease to be funny, you cease to be a comedian) suckle on the conservative teat? (Yes, Dennis Miller, I’m looking at you.)

    Methinks Mr. Mason needs to invest heavily in nasal decongestant.

    Never thought he was funny anyway.

    Caddyshack II pretty much confirmed it.

    I didn’t know A. Whitney Brown was suckling at the conservative teat when he made his last plea for attention.

    Wow!
    Go directly to the YouTube link instead, then read the comments.
    The 25%ERS are creaming their pants over Mason’s incoherent hate speech rant.

    Well, that was 3 minutes I’ll never get back.

    Does anyone remember the anteater cartoons Mason did the voice for? I liked those.

    Because conservative humor is so pathetic that Bruce Tinsley still has a strip.

    Caddyshack II pretty much confirmed it.

    One cannot blame Jackie Mason for that. He was only cast because Rodney Dangerfield wanted to make massive script rewrites. The producers said no, Dangerfield left the building, and they had to cast someone. It’s not Mason’s fault that Dangerfield was right. I prefer to remember his short bit during History of the World part 1 about playing ping-pong with his balls.

    Wow. I managed to get halfway through that. I couldn’t go farther than his bit about Harry Reid because I kept remembering the 1990s and the Republican attitude to Bill Clinton.

    Note to Jackie: Well, yeah. We wouldn’t give a shit if he didn’t get Bush elected, because then all his voter fraud and leaks would be a perfunctory investigation because he lacked the power to avoid this investigation, and because there would be 600,000 Iraqis still alive. You wouldn’t give a damn about James Carville if he didn’t get Clinton elected. As for anything wrong, this is a guy who admitted under oath that he used the apparatus of government on Joe Wilson because he was a “Democrat.”

    Mort Sahl hasn’t turned to the right.

    I didn’t even bother viewing Mason’s nonsense, but the comments on the post truly, and I’m not kidding, sent a chill down my spine.

    I don’t read the right-wing sites, except for comment-less Reynolds, so I guess I’m not used to it, but those people are friggin scary.

    When was Jackie Mason funny? I’m almost old enough to retire, and I don’t remember him ever being funny. I think people laugh at his accent sometimes, but that’s about it.

    And Dennis Miller’s not funny, though maybe he was at some point. I never heard of him until he crashed as a sports host.

    George W. Bush used to be funny, until people started dying because of his faux macho cowboy schtick.
