Rock's bush bashing was a bit more original (and certainly more biting) than the worn out stupid jokes.

Whether you find it funny depends on your party registration, I think.

I found it the same old tiring tirade that I've been hearing, with a stupid twist. Rock trying to tell Hollywood-types to imagine having a job at the Gap.

Actually, I write jokes for a living, for radio DJs, so I have to be able to write for all political viewpoints, and I thought the lines he did on Bush were only about a 5 on a 10 scale. They were not funny enough to outweigh the fact that they were wildly inappropriate for the venue. With all that he could have poked fun of about Hollywood and less than 10 minutes to fill, he devoted a third of his monologue to irrelevant Bush-bashing that did nothing but alienate half the audience right at the start of the show. I'm floored that a guy as smart as Chris Rock did something that stupid. And that with so much time to prepare, he didn't have better material.
