Of course he is liberal, but he does not hide that fact. His humor is biting and edgy, but it is humor. I saw an interview he did with the Democratic Gov or Illinois that was just classic, and I have seen him take apart other liberal dems as well. He is a comedian, and when we start getting so bent out of shape about comedy, we are in trouble as a country. Talk about thin skin. yeesh

You miss the point. He bombed. The reason he bombed is because his bit was not funny. Even the sympathetic audience he had reacted as though they didn't find the humor in it.

That's because there was no humor in it. It was tedious.

As for his supposed talent in other venues, I wouldn't know. I'd never heard of the guy until the other night.

And BTW, don't you think that in order to be funny, comedy should have a bit of truth to it? Do you think that a comedian making jokes which are based on the idea of, say, there being 500 days to a year could be funny, if the premise of the jokes were to poke fun at those of us who believe that there are only 365?
