But his is a self-avowed comedy show and he's the jester tilting at the establishment. Maybe that's what it takes to speak truth to power.

That is what it has always taken, pretty much. Hiding beneath humor, getting plausible deniability. That's why it's "power" and why one of the fundamental truths of political philosophy is "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely."

I know, I'm belaboring the obvious, but... some obvious things can't be repeated too often.
