19. Ok, some honesty

Edited on Sat Dec-09-06 12:44 AM by Az

Dennis Miller is an intelligent and witty comedian. But (all my friends have a big but. - PeeWee Herman)and this is a big but, humor does not work from the conservative point of view. Liberal/Progressive humor works because it is typically the common person taking shots at power. But when power takes shots at the common person it just comes off as cruel.

This is what undid Dennis Miller. When he got scared he signed on with the Conservative powers. His jokes shifted accordingly. And they stopped being funny.
