I’m truth; Norm’s actually acting to mitigate their enormous spiritual liabilities incurred as product of all the stealing and raping and murdering they’ve been synonymous with. You know all that shit that grinds Gods gears no end. God’s flirting with the notion of gangster slapping their murky souls into the Lake of Fire… counsel assisting their defence counters their exploits clearly weren’t as nefarious and wilfully malicious as God’s asserting if a global comedy icon can riff on their heinous misdeeds at a televised White House gala as a warm up act for the important people. Anyone not aware Bill and Hillary raped and murdered anyone and anyone who’s demise would curry Beelzebub’s favour must’ve REALLY had their heads in the sand. Somehow in a bitter irony Norm is summonsed to testify in favour of their eternal damnation, but ultimately tricked by some crafty demonic defence team members when asked under oath, (understanding Norm believes in a higher power/God and has few it any qualms about ‘calling David Spade a spade’ he goads Norm into divulging how he might postulate a Devil’s advocacy based defence of the Clintons… Norm being acutely aware is sworn an Oath to God and the courtroom to shit on any non-Clintons, with his trademark jocularity with a view to circumventing their immediate demise/oblivion. Norm’s finds himself bushwhacked by some sneakily contrived double bind & the Clintons are spared eternal damnation thanks to some astute defensive legal manoeuvring and Norm’s divine gift at crafting scenarios most would never have otherwise contemplated

Devilishly handsome. Devilishly funny. Too good. Rest in peace, Norm.
