Bashing is alway funny at a roast, and when it becomes a parody of itself it's also very funny... I think people can tell if/when there's venom contained within the words or if it's meant as a benign comical comment, I think people can tell without having to think about it, it's innate... this is the great magic of genuine humor, and what makes good humor funny in the first place...

Where are the Dixie Chicks these days because it isn't on Country stations. Bashing Bush is popular with a percentage of the country. Little doubt about that. Entertainers have a guaranteed right to free speech to say what they wish. Promoters have a right to not book people who want to piss off half of their audience. I have the right to not go be pissed off by someone who rather then entertain wishs to do political stump speeches. We all have rights and we are all exercising them. Only thing that gets confused by some entertainers is they don't have the right to force me to listen to their drivel. I've never understood the upside to pissing off half of your audience regardless of your political leanings. Don't want either side of the fence doing it when I'm there to be entertained.
