COMMENT POSTED TO AN INTERVIEW WITH COMEDIAN MICHELLE WOLF IN THE GUARDIAN
“Michelle Wolf: ‘It’s weird that Trump doesn’t have a sense of humour’”
I'm fond of the tradition of fiercely critical political comedians.
People like America's David Frye, George Carlin, Dick Gregory, or Mort Sahl.
So, of course, I thought Michelle's jokes at the White House Correspondents' Dinner were great.
God, politically-correct we have coming out of all our orifices. We need no more, ever.
And this White House itself is crude, arrogant, hostile, and often found ranting nonsense, and with no apologies offered.
It's hard to see what they could ever have to complain about.
Besides, today's America is such a bizarre and frightening place, I think tough political humor is desperately needed.
Mark Twain said that nothing can withstand the assault of laughter.
Here's hoping.
