Pat McCrory - why?

The man can't talk.
Did you know there was a comic in the 60's on named Don Wrinkles and he was very politically incorrect?

Kept saying it over and over.
Sad part, no one stepped in to correct it. Are they that starstruck and afraid of him?

His name was Rickles and he was a pioneering insult comic. People went to his shows expecting to be insulted, as did celebrities who happened to be booked on Carson or similar shows with him.

Yes, it was his whole act. People didn't go out to see a Don Rickles performance to hear political satire or observational humor. They paid to hear Rickles insult everyone he laid his eyes on -- and if one of those people happened to be you, you had just as big a laugh as everyone else. There's no comparison between him and a politician turned radio talk host taking potshots at people with different political/social views.
