Norm McDonald: true conservative?

I was just watching Norm McDonald on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and he always has that wry sense of humor that I like. I think I have read on a few web sites that he might be rumored to be conservative or lean that direction. Which is surprising not just being from Hollywood but also that he is Canadian from Quebec too. Tonight he was in good form.

He was filming "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" which I am not excited to see but they filmed it in Amsterdam. He had some funny and insightful things to say about it. I will have to paraphrase most of this because I don't have a transcript. He had to grow a big black beard for the part and, to his own admission, he looked like he fit the profile of a terrorist. He had funny things to say about racial profiling and airport security. His intent was comedic but I think anyone that makes fun of these issues isn't a lefty.
  1. His father fought in WWII and liberated Amsterdam. If he went back today he would be spinning in his grave.
  2. At one point he got stopped by a cop in Amsterdam for jaywalking and he talked about how the guy should have been thankful that his dad bailed him out so his country of "drugged whores" could arrest people for jaywalking.
  3. He talked about his appearing to look like a terrorist and he got stopped in by airport security. He saw a guy with a big turban on and he walked straight through security. He asked why they shouldn't take a look at that guy's turban "just to see if it is ticking"

Now I am not here to talk about the accuracy of his statements but more for examining the content of them. It is great to see actor's who doesn't tow the line of political correctness. If it is true, welcome to the "dark side" Norm.

It's "toe the line" not "tow the line."

Um, no it is not

Um, yes it is. Toe the line, as in, "touch the line with your toe", indicating you are ready to start a race - not "tow the line" as is to pull it behind you, because that doesn't make any sense at all.

Actually it's "toe the line" as in lining up the way soldiers do for inspection. Everyone "toes the line" and no one "steps out of line." It means adherence to orders, conforming to expectations.
