Tony Bennett: Wonderful Artist, Political Lunatic
by John Nolte

86 year-old Tony Bennett is in the news again, this time for uttering yet-another bit of left-wing lunacy. Yesterday, in a press conference loaded with anti-Second Amendment celebrities wearing their prescription-less “smart” glasses, Bennett claimed that gun ownership would turn America into Nazi Germany. Even though, you know, one of Hitler’s early chess moves towards the “Final Solution” was to confiscate guns from Jews.
BYE Tony. I am 59 and never listened to any of your music.
Fact is you could have died 40 years ago and I wouldn’t have noticed. JUST glad the 2A will outlive you.
I am a (big) fan of Sinatra and other singers of his ilk, but I never cared for Tony Bennett aside from a handful of recordings. Never cared for that raspy, plaintive voice. Even though he seems to be a leftist idiot, he has my sympathy for his condition.
