see that is why political comedy isn't really comedy

I think they need to stop calling things like SNL and the Daily Show comedy when they have a blatant political agenda. Chevy Chase has admitted that he had a political agenda when he repeatedly made fun of Ford for one time tripping when he came off of a plane. Now decades later a very athletic and agile man is known mostly for his lack of grace because of a sustained slander smear campaign by a "comedian" who was "just trying to make people laugh".
I am offended by people who the the war in Afghanistan was a "good" war we no choice about because one group who operated there (and isn't who we are fighting now) and that Iraq was a bad war that we chose even though Iraq had made shooting at planes a favorite hobby and had developed the nasty habit of attacking its neighbors not to mention huge segments of its own population.
Rumsfeld's greatest sin was not winning.
