Are you kidding? Trump has brought humor to D.C. and turned the corrupt swamp into a public laughing stock.

Foster Brooks, a performer playing drunk as opposed to a drunk performer! He did it much better than the audience could appreciate. The wonder of the time is that all of the comedians of that era could get laughs in ‘family time’ as well as in the late night profanity shows. Not an ability known for the current crop of ‘comics’.

May I please interject Oscar Levant to the mix? His humor cut like a knife, IMO. Brilliant concert pianist, loved the ever-dragging on a cigarette.

I don’t even know who TL is.

For some strange reason, I remembered Oscar Levant the other day....for no clear reason. It was strange.
