How come there are so many white guys and jews mentioned so far? Are you guys saying minorities have nothing to say about politics?
I don't know if anyone knows who he is, but the other day Brian Unger was hosting Keith Olbermann's Countdown. I thought that was strange.
Was the Daily Show as good with him as it was with Stewart? Plus Kilborn wasn't a writer on the Show while John Stewart is.
I wikipedia'd him and yes, he was. It also says he has written for the New York Times and Washinton Post. His career is more diverse than I realized.
I always liked the Eddie Murphy bit about the difference between white and black Secret Servicemen. He was talking about how quick they shoved Reagan into the car when he got shot. Like "get your ass in the car!!!" He was making fun of how white Secret Servicemen would jump in front of a bullet and say "I must save the President!!!!" while black Secret Servicemen would side-step and say "F**k that sh*t!! What? They killed the President? I'll just have to get a job at my cousin's cleaners!"
Patton Oswalt, David Cross, and Marc Maron are okay as political comics, but I guess I prefer other comedians that don't really deal with politics too much ( or at least not enough to be called political comics) like Aziz Ansari, Zach Galifianakis, Michael Ian Black, Jim Gaffigan, Jen Kirkman, and Bill Burr.
i cant believe it took 30 posts before anyone mentioned the late, great hicks. and he was even from houston! "I'll show you politics in America. Here it is, right here. 'I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs.' 'I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking.' 'Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding out both puppets!'" A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. You think when Jesus comes back he ever wants to see a ****ing cross? It's like going up to Jackie Onassis wearing a rifle pendant. "You know we armed Iraq. I wondered about that too, you know. During the Persian Gulf war, those intelligence reports would come out: 'Iraq: incredible weapons – incredible weapons.' How do you know that? 'Uh, well ... we looked at the receipts.'" People say "Iraq had the fourth largest army in the world". Yeah, maybe, but you know what, after the first 3 largest armies, there's a REAL big ****ing drop-off. The Hare Krishnas are the 5th largest army in the world, and they've already got all our airports. "I'm so sick of arming the world and then sending troops over to destroy the ****ing arms, you know what I mean? We keep arming these little countries, then we go and blow the **** out of 'em. We're like the bullies of the world, you know. We're like Jack Palance in the movie Shane, throwing the pistol at the sheep herder's feet: 'Pick it up.' 'I don't wanna pick it up mister, you'll shoot me.' 'Pick up the gun.' 'Mister, I don't want no trouble, huh. I just came down town here to get some hard rock candy for my kids, some gingham for my wife. I don't even know what gingham is, but she goes through about 10 rolls a week of that stuff. I ain't looking for no trouble, mister.' 'Pick up the gun.' Boom, boom. 'You all saw him. He had a gun.'" Go back to bed, America, your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed America, your goverment is in control. Here, here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up, go back to bed America, here is American Gladiators, here is 56 channels of it! Watch these pituitary r****ds bang their ****ing skulls together and congratulate you on the living in the land of freedom. Here you go America - you are free to do what well tell you! You are free to do what we tell you! "I was just down in Dallas, Texas. You know, you can go down there and to Dealey Plaza where Kennedy was assassinated. And you can actually go to the sixth floor of the Schoolbook Depository. It's a museum called ... 'The Assassination Museum'. I think they named it that after the assassination. I can't be too sure of the chronology here, but ... Anyway, they have the window set up to look exactly like it did on that day. And it's really accurate, you know, 'cause Oswald's not in it."
