Beer: You're right. When I was a little kid, most of the television comedians were politically conservative: Bob Hope,Lucille Ball, Ronald Reagan (well he WAS a comedian as President). I tend to think of old Hollywood as pretty conservative.
We have conservative comedians now. Dennis Miller just about killed me when he went right wing. Hell, I went to see him in a club on New Years Eve many moons ago and he was awesomely funny and irreverant back then. What happened?
Oooh, I don't usually go on and on in a reply to a comment. You just took me back, that's all.
Seriously. How did what Donald Trump said get so much media play??
ReplyDeleteThat was truly great! I really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove that show.
ReplyDeleteSo not only does the right have the better blacks they also have the dumber blonds. - that's a good "PC" statement don't you think.
Ruth: I wonder that same thing all the time.
ReplyDeleteDJan: I had seen all the interviews and antics by the candidates prior to Stewart editing this report. Just made it that much more hilarious.
bill: Ann, she's "da bomb" isn't she?
Stewart, as always, a comedic hero. You know what I find funny? There aren't ANY good right-wing comedians. Coincidence? Nay.

I'll take today's comedians.
Jon Stewart is brilliant- smart, politically savvy and very funny!
