Reminiscent of the "Smug Style in American Liberalism"


article from 4/16 that made the rounds.

I think the comedy stuff does help the GOP right now, not sure to what extent though. The thing to me is the style is not funny or as smart as it thinks it is. Political humor usually falls flat for me, not when Chapelle or someone with real talent does it, but an act based 100% on politics is usually kind of stale imo.

Comedians should have free reign, and enough people find it funny or appealing that it's out there.
