The YouTube segment of this jerk on Election Night is one of the few funny things I’ve seen him do, the poor thing is virtually in tears as Hillary loses.

Cranky, old pissed off liberal David Letterman, in his final years on CBS, was still a helluva lot better than Colbert.

What self-respecting satirist would agree to act as a paid agent of any political movement?

What we have here are not independent-minded comics but tame court jesters.

Only thing this clown has going for him is that he is the great nephew or grandson of Claudette.

I wish President Trump could force them to wear motley as a requirement to be allowed into White House press conferences.

It’s The Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Just like the VRWC, except, of course, that it is absolutely real and now it is also heavily documented.

The best comics always have some antiestablishment tendencies, after all, they usually start out as the class clown making fun of the teacher, who embodies the adult establishment to all their fellow kids. This is why leftie comics aren’t very funny anymore. The left IS the establishment now! Suddenly they have become the teacher’s pet, and the teacher’s pet doesn’t get laughs.
