From my own experience visiting the troops in the Middle East, I can tell you this, though: despite how the conflict has been portrayed by our glorious media, if you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Osama bin Laden, there’s a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death.Really, really classy, but I'm not outraged. Instead I'm perplexed.
This is what qualifies for humor in the conservative mind?
Seriously, for all the conservative complaints that humorists are biased against them, and the repeated abortive attempts by Fox News to come up with some sort of conservative political news-humor show, it all comes down to the fact that this sh%$ simply isn't funny.
As Pablo Neruda said, "Laughter is the language of the soul,"* and conservatives are apparrently speaking pig-latin.
*Unlike Bart Simpson, I am not familiar with the works of Pablo Neruda, I just got the quote from the best Simpsons episode ever, Bart Sells His Soul.
