Sure, his doctorate in nutrition and books on homeopathy certainly qualifies him as a political expert. It must be his ability to bloviate and scream louder than the people who disagree with him that makes him so good.

Is there anyone on the radio that you think qualifies as a "political expert". Talk radio is almost entirely hosted by people just talking about their opinions. Savage is a highly educated man and probably more intelligent than any other host out there. I think he is pretty right on about most of the points he makes and his views, it is just his outbursts and sometimes off color remarks that make him lose credibility but it is also the most entertaining part.

Ben Stein isn't that funny, though I used to watch his gameshow from time to time.
And Dennis Miller isn't funny, either. I have to admit, though, that George W. Bush has said some of the funniest, stupidest things ever conceived.

Ben Stein? I don't think I've heard that guy say a funny thing in his life. Dennis Miller, I think has a decent sense of humor but he just uses such sophisticated words that I think it goes over the heads of most people. And George Bush is a laugh riot, I love to watch the collage videos of all the dumb things he has said.I think Sdbest gets the impression that conservatives aren't funny is because they are the ones that are the target right now of almost all the satire out there. When the pendulum swings back the liberals way and they are in power then the humor will be about them.

I think the real reason why both hardcore conservatives and liberals both aren't funny is because they're so entrenched in their own idiotic ideology that they are incapable of just viewing the situation for what it is.

I think you have a good point. Liberals don't usually laugh at jokes that are at the expense of a liberal and vice versa. I frequently watch the Daily Show and when the butt of the joke is a conservative the crowd claps and cheers but when it is about some liberal person or concept then you can barely hear a giggle out of the audience. This could also be a reason why Sdbest does not think conservatives are funny because odds are the punchlines of their jokes are going to be at the expense of liberals and he will not see that as funny.
