Discussion: 'Parks And Recreation' Creator Says Thin-Skinned Rand Paul Ditched Cameo

Discussion for article #233992

That’s strange, I thought Rand had a sense of humor, what with that dead squirrel he has stapled to his head. I guess he’s more into sight gags than quirky sitcoms.

About Rand Paul: Seriously, what is up with that guy’s hair?

As Bill maher put it “while most guys try to find a toupee that looks like real hair, Rand Paul styles his real hair to look like a toupee.”

Apparently he cuts it himself…http://www.businessinsider.com/rand-paul-hair-2013-2

I get the sense that maybe interpreting writing and humor is not his strong suit.

Maybe he just felt uncomfortable saying someone else’s words in front of the camera.

Why? That’s Rand Paul’s regular job.

Unlike, maybe, taking and using it without attribution?

Modern conservatives don’t do humor. Can’t do comedy. To attempt either involves the risk of making themselves look foolish. Losing face is a huge no-no to the RWNJs.

Ron Swanson has done more to humanize libertarians than anything either Paul has ever done.

I thought that rand paul was a joke …a really really bad joke

¨I get the sense that maybe interpreting writing and humor is not his strong suit.¨

Pretty much sums up any conservative. I mean, have you ever heard Gary Gutfeld?

I never have watched parks and recreation, have no idea of who Ron Swanson is, and I think that Rand Paul is a very silly and vacuous poseur. His main advantage in life is that he is the offspring of an older, very silly and incoherent vacuous poseur. So, I can only say…Carry on! The increasing entropy of the universe continues unabated.

I’m a Ron. This just makes me detest Paul Jr. that much more.

Lots of guys CUT their own hair. How many spend so much on teasing it just so & booking assignations & weekends away with it?

I don’t know…I thought he was pretty funny running away from the DREAMer asking him questions at lunch with Steve King in Iowa.

As already mentioned, conservatives don’t do humor. They do, however do ridicule and call it humor.

Well, duh. Comedy requires one to understand what is going on inside the heads of the audience, to understand how they see the world and to be aware of the shared assumptions that can be manipulated to create a comic moment. To be an adult, hard-core free-market libertarian requires one to assume that the cranium houses cogs and gears for parsing life into an endless series of economic transactions for which options must continually be evaluated to maximize self interest.

But did he set up his own certification and licensing board for performing such work?
