"Now the freaks are on television, the freaks are in the movies. And it's no longer the sideshow, it's the whole show. The colorful circus and the clowns and the elephants, for all intents and purposes, are gone, and we're dealing only with the freaks."

Jonathan Winters, for all his problems, was one of the funniest guys around. Lonesome George Gobel would break me up. Both of these guys did it without profanity.

But heck, starting back with Fibber McGee and Molly, Bob Hope, Red Skelton, Jack Benny, Fred Allen - all on radio in the same era - they were hilarious then. I listen to their old radio shows and remember why they were hilarious.

And it wasn't from repeated use of the f word.

Or continuous president bashing.
