Rambi, I've been trying hard to say away from all this, but in honor of your status as gracious doyenne of SI posters, let me gently take issue with the humor thing. Personally, I think Leno and Letterman are pretty funny when they talk about politics; I can't say the same for Rush. My impression is that the RWET guys think they're funny, and I suppose that if you're politically simpatico enough, they can be, but it always looked a lot more like Limbaugh-style one sided derision to me.

Not to cast aspersions on Bland, whose post certainly can be put into the Leno/Letterman school. Being somewhat partial to black humor myself, I find W's early moves on the abortion front entertaining enough. He's working hard to bring us together, I'd say.

Cheers, Dan.
