Yeah,that's the ticket.
It looks as though Jon Lovitz isn't through venting his frustrations with President Obama.
After the comedian called the President "a f*cking a**hole" for "saying the rich don't pay their taxes" on his "The ABCs of SNL" podcast last month, Lovitz appeared on Sean Hannity's Fox News program Thursday night to continue criticizing the President. This time, he took issue with Obama's recent fundraiser with George Clooney that raised $15 million for his campaign. Lovitz called the move "hypocritical" since the President has spoken out against our nation's richest Americans for not paying their fair share of taxes.

You're a former SNL hack who probably hasn't cracked a million in 15 years because your slimy ass is forced to do shit b-movies that only air on Cinemax at 1 in the morning.

(34,857 posts)It gets him airtime and now he's got a prime seat on FOX News. Next, he'll be writing a book that Newsmax then buys a billion copies of to boost its rating on the New York Times Best Sellers list to hand out to idiot Americans who subscribe to their stupid magazine/website.

(13,409 posts)So Lovitz's argument is that because the tax code favors the wealthy and Obama has been talking about changing that, it's hypocritical of him to associate with any wealthy people? It should be a war crime to torture logic to that extent.
Sure am glad I got Lovitz around to remind me how difficult the wealthy have it. I can't imagine how strenuous it must be doing that weekly pod-cast and reminiscing about appealing to the lowest common denominator.
