1. Why is that?
I've tried to figure it out but really can't. It can't be all that hard to come up with some decent comedy scripted to point at liberals and the Democrats, I mean there are plenty of fucked up Dems and plenty of material. They just can't do it, I've never seen a good RW comic go political.

All they come up with is sex jokes about Clinton, the fact that Robert Byrd is really really old and once was pretty big in the Klan and that Kennedy likes to drink. Now even in that there must be some decent material but they can never make it work.

2. I don't know. It really is a mystery. It's like they're missing
a certain brain function that recognizes anything funny that isn't grossly simple. It's strange.

12. The god part of their brains smote the comedy part.
They truly are not funny.

3. Depends if you mean
intentional or unintentional comedy


They've certainly provided me with enough laughs over the years.

6. This guy might be funny in his fantasy world, but not the real world.
In the real world, no matter how much they hate Obama, he doesn't act like Pee Wee Herman. So it's not relatable. And he's not making jokes, he's making talking points. And if you're going to be an asshole, you have to be extra funny. He wasn't. Just an asshole. He should've been a mime.

8. I think they've been comedy gold for the last three or four months, myself.
They don't INTEND it, but damn....teabagging?

If you tried to tell someone that the GOP would be holding teabagging parties a year ago, who would have believed it?

9. Comedy is about punching through to truths. The GOP is the party of obfuscations.

10. Painful to watch. Simply painful.
Angry, preachy, insulting... and over all: NOT FUNNY!

11. Republicans are incapable of ANYTHING even remotely human!
They don't even want to "go there".....to the "humanity-side"

Huge Big FAIL!
