I always felt that conservatives could put together a better show than the libs if given the chance. This news is troubling.
My guess here is that the writers were hired and then told to emphasize a conservative message. If the writers aren't really conservative then they will TRY to write (pander) to what they think conservatives will laugh at. The result is this dreck.
The advantage of someone like me (shameless self promo here) is that I come at it from a "conservative" (although I don't like to label myself since a lot of my lifestyle wouldn't be considered conservative) perspective so it enables me to just concentrate on the humor. BTW, the few times I actually did try to send a "message" via humor, it failed miserably. Better to just concentrate STRICTLY on the comedy/humor.
This is why Charles Henrickson writes such great song parodies. He concentrates STRICTLY on the humor and the message just comes naturally from his authentic POV.
