Why I love Larry David

By Edward Copeland

Larry David, the comic genius behind Seinfeld and the even-better Curb Your Enthusiasm, has been a longtime Obama supporter and he has penned a hilarious piece for The Huffington Post in response to Hillary's red phone ad. A great highlight of his post:

A few weeks ago, I started to feel sorry for her. Oh Christ, let her win already...Who cares...It's not worth it. There's not that much difference between them. She can have it. Anything to avoid watching her descend into madness. So I switched. I started rooting for her. It wasn't that hard. Compromise comes easy to me. I was on board.

And then I saw the ad.

I watched, transfixed, as she took the 3 a.m. call... and I was afraid... very afraid. Suddenly, I realized the last thing this country needs is that woman anywhere near a phone. I don't care if it's 3 a.m. or 10 p.m. or any other time. I don't want her talking to Putin, I don't want her talking to Kim Jong Il, I don't want her talking to my nephew. She needs a long rest. She needs to put on a sarong and some sun block and get away from things for a while, a nice beach somewhere -- somewhere far away, where there are... no phones.

God bless Larry David.
