Carl was indeed a comedy legend and a great talent, but if you think the apple has more rot than the tree you are mistaken. The biggest difference between Carl and his son is that Carl was less vocal about his views until later in life when he was less concerned about his public image.
Yup. I did allude to Carl being a big Lib when I posted this. I don’t think I knew that though until he was on the high side of 80. You are right that he kept his mouth shut until he no longer feared being impacted.
