Or, to quote Moore after a plague of "anti-F/911" documentaries were the
craze before the election, "Four documentaries against ME, and none in
defense of Bush?...Get your priorities straight, guys!"
Here, it's a bit harder, since the Right has to embrace the alien
concept of "humor", let alone "satire", and as you can see...it hasn't
been an easy transition for them.
Creativity's hard for people who can't grasp the idea of worlds without
an idealistic agenda.

Oh I used to love watching him pummel his forehead bloody on the desk
during the Kerry campaign coverage. He **REALLY** did not like how Kerry
handled himself. I think he's more than a one-note song on that. >> Stay informed about: The Half Hour News Hour |

This is a non-political, informational post only:
The next HHNH broadcast will be on Sunday, March 4.
The reason the first show was not very topical, is that
it was taped several weeks in advance and was considered
to be a pilot. If the show is picked up, and becomes a
weekly show on FNC or elsewhere, it is expected to be
more oriented toward the previous week's news. >> Stay informed about: The Half Hour News Hour |

"The Bush campaign this week set out to tour the country in their 'Yes,
America Can!' bus--
Also this week, the Kerry campaign set out in their 'Indeed, the Current
Situation Looks Favorable For a Positive Outcome For All Americans, As
We Usher in a New Generation With Hopes and Ideas For the Coming Future'
bus..."

So no more Marion Barry jokes? That's one of the problems with
conservative humor--it's dated reference points. Chappaquiddick and
Ted Kennedy's drinking, Bill Clinton's blow job, ugly femiinists,
"Hanoi Jane" Fonda. You never let anything go. I could sit here
making jokes about Reagan calling ketchup a vegetable or James Watts
banning the Beach Boys or I could make peace signs and say "I am not a
crook" and it wouldn't be funny either. >> Stay informed about: The Half Hour News Hour |

Conservatives are biologically incapable of being funny.

The way conservatives constantly outmaneuver hysterical temper-tantrum-
throwing liberals is very funny, liar. Better luck next time :)

(No, one hasn't been able to joke about Reagan calling ketchup a
vegetable ever since ketchup could reciprocate.) Imo, the trouble
with Conservative humor is that it's hard to laugh through clenched
teeth. Producing and/or appreciating funny material is easier when
you're loose... lax... liberal...

They don't call them angry white males for nothing (though that
description doesn't explain why Michelle Malkin is so pissed off all
the time). >> Stay informed about: The Half Hour News Hour |
