Ha Ha! Hm, I'm actually surprised people didn't watch and laugh just for the sake of patriotism and freedom. There is hope yet...

It's a hard life, trying to put the Fun back in Fundamentalism.

Conservative "humor" -- another oxymoron. And speaking of morons, Sean Hannity, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you.

Some of the same jokes on the daily show would have been satire, but when the people in power make fun of the horrible things they've done, it comes off as bullying and gloating.

True conservative humor consists entirely of black and gay jokes.

Gitai is right. I think that Paul Constant's excellent report on the National Review get-together in last week's Stranger captured the essence of conservative humor perfectly.

Is that clip is representative of the show?

Seriously not funny. :(

Nice laugh track.

Leave it to Fox to outsource laughter.
