Sans a Charlie Chaplin mustache, I knew I had seen him, and not as a figment of my imagination. I really, truly had seen an earlier incantation of him. Hairline; almost. Facial expression; damned close. Voice and speaking mannerisms; nearly right on. But where . . . where?
Then it hit me!!! Ernie Kovacs and his comediccaricature, character: Percy Dovetonsils. See whether you agree. Click javascript:nicTemp();
The tragedy is that two tragedies are writ large here: Comparatively speaking, few in America have ever heard of Ernie Kovacs, let alone Percy Dovetonsils, and the greatest of all, Senator McConnell is not a comedic caricature of any comedian's imagination.

Folks in Kentucky obviously cannot discern a joke when they hear and see one.
