Why does the Left have all the funny people?

Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Chris Rock… etc.

Who does the right have? Dennis Miller (does he even have a show anymore) Somebody help me out… there have to be others.

Another thing, I notice is that leftys are far more likely to laugh at themselves too. A lot of “Daily Show” stuff makes fun of Kerry too… I saw some hilarious out takes from SNL this past weekend that poked fun of both W and Kerry.

“Don’t take life too seriously - nobody will make it out alive”

the right has funny people too. Tibbs, slowguy, me (sometimes), Big K (but he’s way to pragmatic to be really funny.

Okay, I’m off to Muskegon. Everyone play nice until I get back.

Carville and Matalin are a pretty funny duo. Can’t imagine life at that house…

TTT,

Did you see that SNL out take where Ben Afleck was playing Carville? Hilarious! Here was the quote when whoever was playing Kerry asked him if he came to congratulate him on his debate performance:

“Kerry, you gotta bring the words down… Beating Bush in a word contest is like Kareem Abdul-Jabar beating Steve Hawking by 2 points in a basketball game”

LOL! No I passed out and missed the whole damn thing!! It had to have been good.

Do they have the clips on the net anywhere?

Not that I know of… I actually caught the end of “Crossfire” last night and they played that clip (obviously, because Carville is a host).

Put the crack pipe down.

I liked the parody of the presidential debate. “That’s not flip-flopping, that’s *pandering, *and Americans deserve a president who knows the difference!”

A little angry today, Tibbsy?

“That’s not flip-flopping, that’s pandering, and Americans deserve a president who knows the difference!”

Vitus,

I saw that … and laughed my ass off!

“Bill Maher is niether funny nor smart.”

I kind of agree with that… He’s like the Bill O’Reilly of the left

“Same thing for Al Frankin.”

I have to admit, I find him a bit annoying… However, Fox is even more annoying for trying to sue him for using “Fair and Balanced”… Lame. And all they did is help him sell books.

I’m with V-Man on this. It seems to me that the Left, unless they’re poking fun at Republican incumbents, has been totally devoid of any meaningful self-deprecating humor for some time.

I’m just weary of angry social commentary couched in such a way as to demonstrate the so-called comedian’s sense of ironic detachment and hatred of anything in the center or center-right (the hard right, or the “Pat Buchanan Wing”, brings a lot of their troubles on themselves :wink:
