Good Grief! I hope nobody asks him how he’s feeling. He’ll launch into why we need health care for a half hour .....
Ya got that right!
Many years ago we were vacationing in an exotic locale and decided to go to one of those dinner shows at the hotel just for grins.
About half-way through the show, the main entertainer starting repeating his schtick because he had sort of dozed off with his eyes open or whatever. He sang a song and told some jokes. Then he started up singing again, there was a little confusion in the band, but they caught up to him quickly. He was singing the same song he'd just sung, with all the "clap your hands, now" folks stuff and everything -- and then told the same joke afterwards!
At first I thought it was part of the act. But, no. He really was just going through the motions, lost his place without knowing it, and repeated himself.
Somehow the Obambi Wind-up Doll that went off on poor Doris reminded of that other showman today.
