Damn, they chose the same clip so now I have to say I agree with a graun column - thanks a lot Rask! The overall thrust of it is the usual whiny PC-addled dreck you'd expect. This part was plain untrue: 'He kicks down an awful lot. The fall people are always women, gay people, Iraqis.' No, he kicks down sometimes, as with the above attacks on low-income single mothers. Most often the butt of the joke are those in power, media or entertainment goons ('send in Vanilla Ice' - was that what the reference to punishment by rape was? Couldn't think of anything else), the military, or the religious right who had & still have enormous political influence in the US. Anyway, boo-hoo the man was opinionated and one could disagree with him on some things. Does that mean he wasn't funny or not a great stand-up comedian? No, of course not. Now I'm going to have to look up these graun-friendly comedians and confirm my suspicion that their material will be about as funny or 'radical' as a blancmange. cheers, I
