After reading City Councilmember Augie Tulba’s comments in the newspaper, I couldn’t help but think of another ex-comedian, and the greatest hero of our time, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Someone once said that all comedy was nothing more than telling the truth. Compare stand-up Councilmember Tulba’s words with Councilmember Calvin Say’s defense of the immoral pay raises (“Only 3 of 9 Council members comment on pay hikes,” Star-Advertiser, June 5).
Maybe not only do comedians make great politicians sometimes, but vice versa; politicians can make good comedians, too. Especially when they take themselves seriously!
