It\u2019s so good for you. You so pretty, American girl,\u201d Colbert, in his conservative talk-show host persona, jibber-jabbers in the 2005 segment. \u201cYou come here.

Come on my rickshaw, I give you a ride to Bangkok.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over at the far-left \u201cLate Night with Seth Meyers,\u201d the host is tsk-tsking those dumb conservatives for suggesting there\u2019s a culture war taking place at all. He used the just-wrapped CPAC convention as the introduction to his larger points.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026the only truly unifying thing at CPAC, the beating heart of modern conservatism, were the dumb, invented culture war grievances, as evidenced by their complaints about total nonsense, like The Muppets and Mr. Potato Head\u2026.<\/p>\n<p data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\">I mean, I guess I would be concerned about Mr. Potato Head if I answered to Mr. Blockhead. I mean, Matt Gaetz\u2019s head has sharper corners than military sheets also. That\u2019s really what you think Americans care about amid a pandemic, an economic crash \u2014 The Muppets and Mr. Potato Head? My kids don\u2019t even care about The Muppets and Mr. Potato Head. They want to watch Fortnite streams on Twitch.<\/p>\n<p data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\">If the Muppets and Mr. Potato Head cancellations happened in a cultural vacuum Meyers might have a point.<\/p>\n<p>They didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>How can a supposedly shrewd comic not connect the hundreds, and hundreds, of dots surrounding the woke mob, Cancel Culture and the push to erase history?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not an accident, though.<\/p>\n<p>Both Meyers and Colbert realize it\u2019s conservatives fighting back against Cancel Culture and the totalitarian Left. That means they must defend the indefensible to sustain their progressive bona fides.<\/p>\n<p>They clearly don\u2019t care how poorly history will judge them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just between you and me, I was never able to tell that either of these two &#8216;comedians&#8217; were ever in possession of fully functional brains.
