in World News The Sad Decline of Bill Burr
by C.A. Skeet
Bill Burr went full woke. Never go full woke.
Bill, what happened to you? You used to be hilarious. You used to rail against The Man. Now you are The Man. Now you rail against those who stand up to The Man. Now you sound like one of those angry, screechy campus agitators who can’t explain the issues they’re screaming about and lash out at the people asking.
Bill is the same man who would stand on a stage and, with a straight face, declare in all seriousness that our government faked the Apollo moon landing. Now, he expects you to trust that same government unquestioningly about everything from COVID masks to their abysmal response to the L.A. wildfires.
Any comedian with his finger on the national pulse would have gone for the throat of the California officials for botching the wildfire response so spectacularly. Half the fire department’s upper management was incompetent DEI hires, and the mayor, Karen Bass, was in Ghana on the taxpayers’ dime. For comedians, this is the lowest-hanging fruit there is.
But Bass is a black woman (more on this below).
His rants of late have become unhinged. During an interview with NPR (everyone’s idea of the go-to outlet for all edgy, provocative comedians), Bill called Elon Musk an “idiot” and slandered him as “evidently a Nazi” for the thoroughly-debunked “Nazi salute” story.
Calling Musk an “idiot” is like calling Aretha Franklin tone-deaf. Self-made billionaires aren’t normally the type of people we think of as idiots, nor are those who build and send rocket ships into space to rescue astronauts who have been abandoned by the government bureaucrats whom Bill so passionately defends.
He openly praises racists like Colin Kaepernick and murderers like Luigi Mangione. He confesses he doesn’t know who Ben Shapiro is (how is that even possible) but nonetheless thinks he’s a “j*** off.”
