Good taste vanishes for this crowd when guns come up. This is unseemly idiocy, not humor. Too bad, the guy used to be funny.
I take it as good news.
This is coming from
the guy who was too irritating to go the distance with Jenny McCarthy. (let this sink in for a moment...) An anti-vaccination airhead who "cured" her (never) autistic son, and cemented her career by telling fart jokes on MTV after her stint as a Playmate was over.
This is not some deep, heartfelt, and visceral response to his anti-gun beliefs. While I'm sure it's his nominal opinion on the matter, in reality, he's taking a play from the Piers Morgan book. He's pouncing on the hot button issue of the moment on the "there's no such thing as bad publicity" theory. I see a lot of anecdotal evidence he's a deeply unhappy person searching for "gravitas" that has eluded him his whole career. His attempts at serious cinema to re-make his comedy image, like the Truman Show, and The Majestic have left him frustrated. Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura, and his serious films haven't helped. So now he's trying to combine both.
We've had some minor setbacks in a few states, I say "minor" in terms of what we COULD have been facing nationwide. And I take it as a positive sign that the people who seem to be getting the most traction with the anti-RKBA message of late are the ones who underneath it all are really just whoring it out for their own purposes.
