Everybody knows that when liberal late-night “comedians” feature parodies of Democrats, they’re most often done in a very positive, non-critical way — and that includes Saturday Night Live. When it comes to Republicans the parodies often follow whatever the DNC narrative of the day happens to be. But now that Joe Biden is in the White House, the Washington Post has published an op-ed that claims the new president has presented a conundrum for comedians:

The Washington Post ~ Opinion: Comedians are struggling to parody Biden. Let’s hope this doesn’t last.

“Struggling” to parody Biden, or “refusing” to?

Mrs. Rutter ~ Clearly, they aren't paying attention. Or, protecting him.

Yeah, we’re going to lean toward that second option.

(((Aaron “Worthing” Walker))) ~ He’s a geriatric, demented racist. If they can’t find a way to make fun of that, they aren’t comedians.

Aldous Huxley's Ghost ~ If comedians are "struggling" to parody a guy who's practically a walking "kick me" sign for comedy, it's for one of two reasons:

1. They're shitty comedians who should stick to their day jobs, or

2. It's suddenly become dangerous to parody the President without repercussions.

I'm not a crisis. I'm a challenge. ~ Oh, please. The man is a walking, talking, punchline.
