Political Humor

Characterizing this as a “hoax” is much too forgiving to Kirk. Terhune has been doing this kind of satire for years. Charlie’s just mad that he can’t recognize that form of humor.

The gem here was that the real driver of that garbage truck happened to be a dead-ringer for Terhune  - full face, balding head, and a flowing ginger/red beard.  Brent said in another podcast that all he had to do was buy a cheap yellow HiViz jacket from a costume store, jam a black WCW forage cap on his head -  and then turn the camera on !

I first saw one of Terhune’s videos back in September 2020, when he pretended to be one of the MAGA  boat owners who had sunk on Lake Travis in Texas during a Trump boat parade. I had to watch that one twice to be quite sure it was a parody

As it seems to be upsetting MAGA Republicans, Fox TV Hosts, and Russian Troll-bots alike - it's probably worth flagging up this mischievous and wittily written 'Go Vote' advert from the  'Vote Harris/Walz' campaign.
