What’s the difference between Larry the Cable Guy and Larry the Cable News Guy?

One tells jokes, the other one is a joke, as this story clearly demonstrates.

Larry O’Donnell made not one, but two bonehead blunders on his show last week.

First, he got the words to “America the Beautiful” wrong when he said, “God shed His light on thee” instead of “grace.” If Palin had made that same mistake, MSNBC would present an entire week of shows declaring her an idiot and un-American (which they’ll do anyway.)

Later in the show, Larry let his Palin Derangement Syndrome blind him while citing a joke Palin made over the weekend. Referring to Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank’s call for a “Palin Free February” in the media, she said it sounds good because “there’s a lot of chaos in Cairo and I can‘t wait to not get blamed for it—at least for a month.”

Larry the Cable News Guy’s misinterpretation of the joke comes at the 5:20 mark of the clip below.

Yes, that’s right. Palin mocks Larry and the media for their obsession with her, and Larry thinks she’s mocking Egypt.

Considering where Larry’s head usually resides, you’d think it would be easy for him to discern that he was the butt of the joke.
