Yet another one for the “All Comedy is Conservative” files, and an interesting benchmark for where we stand today. 15 year or so ago, Jim Carrey mocked a whole host of hairshirt envirowacko shibboleths for big laughs on In Living Color:

Despite an interregnum which saw the GOP controlling Congress for 12 years, and the White House for two terms, just about everything Carrey poked fun at is now conventional wisdom for the far left. Not the least of which for Carrey’s fellow Hollywood superstars looking for an identikit ready-to-wear Mini-Me disguise (as Roger L. Simon dubbed it in Blacklisting Myself) to strap on for interviews, particularly when the New York Times or MSNBC calls.

    I love this post. Short, sweet and a real shock of truth inside the illustration. One of life’s great mysteries how the Big Lie turns into Conventional Wisdom.

    Oh, and thanks for the nice link to my old Roger L. Simon post “Part of my leftism was a sales pitch,” Ed. Good stuff all around.

    The Carrey character should be on Obama’s short list for a Supreme Court nomination. He has empathy.

    If that doesn’t work out he should run for U.S. Senate from Minnesota when the next seat comes due.
