Forum Overview :: Laura Kightlinger's Dorito's Stand Up Stand Up :: Re: People think Bill Burr is brilliant

[quote name="Vested Id"][quote name="Mysterio Lollerson"][quote name="Vested Id"]His bit about the plumber and the wife is great because that's how all small businesses work, the man does the work and his partner in life witnesses nothing and stays out of the picture entirely. You see that in every small business of course, especially in the highly complex and abstract field of <em>plumbing</em>. Also being a president exactly like being a plumber, they're both jobs right pretty straightforward.[/quote] So because the President is a more complex profession, we should pay attention to what the First Lady has to say?[/quote] She has a window seat at the center of global affairs, so generally, yeah. The idea is that unlike her husband, who has major responsibilities and can't always intervene when/where he wants, the First Lady has relative freedom to speak out. I assume there's more to Burr's problem with the Bring Back Our Girls thing but his bit doesn't really get at it. If the girls don't come back, if they die/disappear, people will blame her husband for not doing more to "fix it". Also the idea that a hashtag campaign is a pathetic response to nearly 300 young girls being kidnapped. But I seriously doubt she made their situation more dire by making it an international scandal.[/quote]
