I watched our "TIVO" of the show and I have to agree -- the T-Shirt guy was fine and the whole show was very good. And the people who complain about a laugh track -- I'm pretty sure this was done in front of a relatively small live audience (around 200 people maybe?). Didn't sound like a laugh track to me -- except you're not used to hearing people laugh at politically incorrect jokes or jokes aimed at leftist, liberal "progressive" slime-balls! That was the best part! And Rush's intro was terrific.

Right on ReleaseTheHounds, you absolutely nailed it. Those ACLU spots were terrific--and so true they must have really hurt.
Now that 24 is over I can catch up!
I think back to the late 70s in San Francisco when Matt Goering was just a cartoonist peddling his stuff to locals. I still have some. And the first time I was given a P.J. O'Rourke screed ("She has a beautiful... means ...."). Late 70s, it was deliciously anti-PC-establishment material in San Francisco, even then.
