Here is a

I’ve graded
them Blue for Democrat of some sort; Pink for Republican; Green,
some kind of lefty-liberal. This data is
mostly taken from the Celebrity Net Worth
site, which is updated frequently. It is
pretty clear that Republicans have a very poor sense of humor from this data. Right-wingers evidently never laugh except at
people with disabilities, providing a poor and tiny audience. You would too, if you were waiting for The Rapture® and spent too much time
cleaning your gun.
At the top
is the execrable jerk-off, Sirius XM's Howard Stern. This is the guy who just got a fawning
profile in Rolling Stone and was interviewed
with respect on CNN. He’s like some kind of elder statesman
now. In the CNN interview with Anderson Cooper (heir to Vanderbilt fortune, but
not an intentionally funny man), Stern stated his long-time love for the Clintons. But he interviewed Trump 40 times on his
show, building Trump’s media image. Stern is the guy that wanted to A-bomb a
Muslim country after 9/11. None of this
is shocking, it is normal functioning in corporate culture.

| Aahhh... how cute. |
After retired money hogs Letterman and Leno, we have AT&T / HBO's Bill Maher. Maher still
occasionally talks positively about atheism and weed, but mostly he’s got a
terrible case of only-Trump comedy dementia.
Present and ex-CIA, FBI, Army and Republican guests; belt-way think
tankers and journalists; right-wing and moderate Democrats – all guest on his
show staffing an unending “Resistance®” patrol who want to ‘go back to a time
before Trump.’ Yet Trump was produced by
that ‘time.’ But if you had
$100M, this might be a reasonable strategy!
The rest of
the list contains other network late-night comedians whose focus on Trump’s
lies, cruelties and idiocies makes comedy easier. Trump’s a very soft target, as they say. This is the endless modus operandi of Saturday Night Live. Perhaps only AT&T/HBO's Jon Oliver actually handles a broad variety of issues that hide
behind Trump. He and his staff actually
do research! Then we have gendarmes of Democratic Party bourgeois feminism, Comcast/NBC hosts DeGeneres and especially Goldberg, who castigate anyone to the
left of the DNC. You’ll notice Bee is working her way up the charts,
as her regular show on Turner
Broadcasting should upgrade her wealth.
So should W Kamau Bell’s
regular gig on AT&T/CNN. His wide-eyed interviews with various racist
scumbags or African-Americans that know more than him are mostly fluff. At a
live show, Bell
made it clear he dislikes atheists (‘a white thing’) and thinks no African
Americans are atheist. Think again.
At the bottom
of the list are two prominent liberal-lefty comedians, Dore and Camp, whose
regular gigs on You Tube and RT are not lucrative. It’s a life though. They go way beyond Trump humor, as the whole
system is actually funny and corrupt.
One of Dore’s co-thinkers mentioned that guest comics cannot do
political comedy on some of the late night shows, as that is reserved for the
‘host.’ This is one way left-wing humor
does not get aired on mainstream TV.
Comedy is
politics by other means, and certainly openly political comedy doesn’t even
hide it anymore. As funny as these
people are – and remember, they are professionals just like your lawyer, with a
huge writing staff – we should know where they are coming from. They are part of the multi-millionaire class,
the 2-5%. They have a vested material
interest in a capitalist system that exists behind Trump. He’s making that system look vicious and stupid,
which is the reason he is fodder for endless jokes.
Happy Summer Solstice!
