Frank Zappa once asked that very same question about music to which the answer was a resounding yes. Often lost in Zappa's musical genius yellow snow and titties ~n~ beers is the fact that he was one of the greatest social commentator satirist and humorist of the last century.
One album Zappa would mock hippies and on another he would take the piss out of the religious right. He was an equal opportunity offender and threw the bullshit flag when saw a foul.
Reminds me alot of South Park today, hands down one of the smartest shows on the television. Granted I get a kick out of the continual war against hippies on the show but even when they take on my religion or political ideology the show cracks me up.
Funny is funny. People are just too damn sensitive.
The Colbert Report is in my opinion the second funniest show on tv and its entire premise is to make fun of my existence as a conservative. Maybe I just have thick skin or maybe its just reverse psychology.
I like getting hit with hot dogs. It don't bother me none. Guess I'm lucky it wasn't hot chili day today.
But once again.... funny is funny.
Well Ive found another comic gem on cable recently and Im here to share it with you cuz thats the kind of swell guy I am.
It was only a matter of time based on the success of The Colbert Report that someone would come up with a mirror image satirical take on the lunatic lefty bias in the media and that satire name be Keith Olbermann.
The man is a comic genius and his coverage of the DNC has been pure comedy gold.
The guy is just flat out fuckin hilarious. I sometimes turn the volume off and just el oh el when his face gets beet red as he ruffles his papers menacingly after Patrick Buchanan talks. Or how he talks like the fat lady in the opera, or rather.....
T H E W O R S T O P E R A I N T H E W O R L L L L L L D ! ! ! ! ! !
I even find it funny when he and Matthews get in little catfights trying to top each other with their own personal stories showing how much they relate to us common folk. Chris says he took a train to work once and Keith will counter that he went to a state school. Brilliant!
GRAND SLAM HOME RUN SLAM DUNK.
Ok we get it Keith you worked for ESPN a hundred years ago.
Seriously though its pretty clear that Olbermann is either certifiably insane or its all just shtick, but whatever it is Im honestly telling you that I havent laughed this hard since Cartman called Hitler awesome. Just imagine how over the top Stephen Colbert would be covering the RNC and there you have Olbermann this week in Denver. Funny funny stuff.
However whats even funnier is that people take him seriously.
This just in....
According to ratings not a whole hell of a lot of people take him seriously.
The fact remains that this assclown is the face of MSNBC "news" and despite my twisted sense of humor this knucklehead should be on SNL not hosting moderating or covering Presidential elections and that aint no laughing matter.
.... on a side note, is it just me or does Rachel Maddow remind anyone else of a more masculine Crossfire era Michael Kinsley?
Got to finsh it with a Beasties lyric...
You got beef Chief? Cuz Im knocking out teeth Keith!

It's bizarre.
The rumors are that olbermann was trying to ban Brokaw from msnbc!
I understand he's your ratings leader, but seriously, that puts them in 3rd place in his time slot out of....3 cable networks!
Ok, sometimes he beats CNN.....sometimes.
