This was comedian/actor David Cross's (Mr. Show, Arrested Development) response to a response from "comedian/actor" Larry the Cable Guy's umbrage with comments Cross made in a Rolling Stone interview. This is from last October, but I found it when searching for something else entirely, and it remains topical, compelling (and hilarious) stuff. He takes LTCG to task, and not in the snooty, liberal hipster comedian way you'd expect (well not entirely).
An Open Letter to Larry the Cable Guy.
(One excerpt:
"Since I was a kid I've always been a little over sensitive to the glorification and rewarding of dumb. The "salt of the earth, regular, every day folk" (or lowest common denominator) who see the world, and the people like me in it, as on some sort of secular mission to take away their flag lapels and plaster-of-paris jesus television adornments strike me as childishly paranoid. But perhaps the funniest (oddest) thing in your book is you taking me to task for being P.C. Have you heard my act?!"
