Grover Norquist was also the piece of shit who said he wanted the government so small that it could be drowned in a bathtub.
And he did stand-up comedy in the D.C. area. Really. He must have been just hilarious, so I'm not sure why he hasn't been given a Netflix special.
I hear Netflix will give any bigot a comedy special
Right? But not Grover. It's almost as if he's as shitty a comedian as he is a political thinker.
So Jesse Watters basically?
Probably. I've never seen Grover's attempt at comedy, but I've seen Watters (and Gutfeld too) try to be funny and fail miserably.
Ugh forgot that Gutfield exists, dude is like the Bill Maher of the Right, except that Bill Maher is becoming the Bill Maher of the Right.
Bill Maher, who I don't think is funny, is funnier than Gutfeld. At least Maher doesn't get a stupid smirk on his face whenever he thinks he's said something funny like it's a punchline.
I don't agree, Maher definitely does, he's just better at not doing it as often. Maher has one of the most punchable faces in "comedy".
The important thing is that I think we can agree that they're both colossal douchenozzles.
Absolutely.
