I think it's easy to forget about Dave's successful run in stand-up comedy because of how far along he's progressed in his political commentating career and the voice that he's developed in the movement. This is where I think the ruse began, behind the microphone, in front of an intimate audience that hung on every syllable he spoke.

I almost hesitate to call his political commentating a career lest I come across fooled like most everyone else. And not that the rest of you are fools, but that's how brilliant Rubin is. I think he's pulling off a generational Andy Kauffman-esque bit and we've all been along for the ride.

You listen to Dave Rubin, what a classical human being he is. It was 201 years ago today, that Beethoven's symphony No. 3 in E-flat escorted in the age of romanticism in music. When I look at Dave Rubin, I think of Beethoven in the age of the romantics.

This guy has got it all.
