Is Jon Lovitz for real or is he drawing out Hollywood’s closet conservatives?

Here’s an old, bad (really bad) joke:

During the 1973 war, the Israeli Army determined that at least one third of all Arab forces arrayed against them were named Mohammed. They quickly developed a new tactic. The IDF troops would take cover and holler out, “Mohammed!” In response to the call, one third of the Arab troops would jump out of their cover, and the Israeli forces would pick them off.

You couldn’t fool the Arabs for long. They figured out that at least one third of all IDF troops arrayed against them were named David. They too quickly developed a new tactic. From cover, they would holler out “David!”

They tried it in the field of battle. “David!” they’d holler. The Israeli troops would answer back, “Mohammed, is that you?” At which point one third of all Arab fighters would jump out of their cover, and the Israeli forces would pick them off.

I did say it was a bad joke, didn’t I?

There’s nothing new about using whatever means possible to flush someone or something out from cover in order to shoot it down. This is a duck call:

And here’s the product description for this little doo-dad:

This is the ultimate one call that will do it all. From loud ringing hail calls, raw, hang-it-all-out duck, to super sexy, soft, up close, “put your landing gear down” calling. This call was designed to be easy for the average caller to operate.

Put more simply, blow on that little sucker, and the ducks will come flocking towards you, putting themselves in easy gun range.

Here’s my question for you. Is this guy also a duck call?

Why do I ask? Because of this:

My first thought was “I hope Lovitz inspires Hollywood’s conservatives to come out of the closet.” And then, paranoid being that I am, my second was, “I wonder if he’s not a stalking horse (or duck call), who is trying to entice Hollywood’s currently invisible conservatives out into the open, the better to black ball them professionally.

As both the George Clooney dinner last night and the rapturous responses to Obama’s cynical gay marriage announcement proved, Hollywood may be playing a bit coy now, but it’s still in Obama’s pocket. To switch metaphors yet again, that coyness allows the Hollywood liberals to pretend an injury in order to deceive its prey (i.e., Hollywood conservatives), thereby flushing that prey out from its cover.

Am I paranoid? I don’t know. I do know that, after I did my write-up about Andrew Breitbart’s appearance in Mill Valley, Andrew called and asked me to edit it slightly to provide more cover for Hollywood’s conservatives. It’s dangerous out there for them. If I’m paranoid, I’m not the only one.

He’s an entertainer and he sees a chance to get some press. That’s all.

[dfwgator]

Maybe he just likes former Governors of Massachusetts.

It's been a number of years now since Dennis Miller shifted to the right. A number of his fellow SNL alums have remained friendly with him, and indeed have either availed themselves as guests on Dennis's conservative leaning radio show, or made some other public pronouncement that suggested they weren't quite on board the leftist train...among them, Dana Carvey, Martin Short, Norm McDonald, Adam Sandler, Victoria Jackson and IIRC, Lovitz.

[GraceG]

You stole that thought right outta my head.

[Joe 6-pack]

Well, you could have added two more names I forgot: Both Colin Quinn, and Phil Hartman also seemed to have fallen into at least that quasi-conservative area :-)

[Former Proud Canadian]

Martin Short, Norm McDonald, Phil Hartman are not, of course, native born Americans.

[scbison]

Phil Hartman is dead.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Thanks, I know.

[Zhang Fei]

Phil Hartman is dead.

Phil's not dead, he's resting...

[dfwgator]

Victoria is about as right as right can be.

[dfwgator]

And I still miss him....his best skits ever was Reagan as “Mastermind”...and Clinton, “Jim, let me tell you something—there’s gonna be a lot of things we don’t tell Mrs. Clinton about.”

[itsahoot]

James Garner, a man's man from Oklahoma, and one of my all time favorites since the late 50's when he did Maverick, is a died in the wool leftist Clinton lover.

Be careful who you look into, if you ever want to enjoy a movie or TV show again. Two words Andy Griffith.

“And I still miss him....his best skits ever was Reagan as “Mastermind”

Phil would just kill me with laughter with simply a grunt, or “Fire bad” with his Frankenstein Character (SNL Tarzan, Tonto, Frankenstein skit)

[zeugma]

Phil Hartman is dead.

Phil's not dead, he's resting...

 He's pining for the fjords.

[enraged]

Or Tom Hanks.....

[tophat9000]

Phil’s not dead, he’s resting...

You hear of the 3 secone rule for food laying on the gound?
