We need more comedians
They are the only one that not only get to tell the truth but understand how to do it without pissing everyone off. Case in point (via Uppity-Negro), Jon Stewart.
on same sex marriage:
KING: Will same-sex marriage be an issue in the campaign?
STEWART: Same-sex marriage is a very difficult situation and I was freaked out by it too. You know that.
KING: Why?
STEWART: Well, until I found out that it wasn't mandatory, because I love my wife and I'd hate to have to leave her for a dude. So I didn't want that.
KING: You thought it was mandatory.
STEWART: You never know. I don't know what -- they said the gay marriage and people got upset, so I figured, well clearly this means that there's a law being passed that we all now have to be gay.
KING: Oh, I see.
STEWART: Once it was explained to me that only gay people, I seem much more comfortable with it. It doesn't seem like such a big deal anymore.
On Monica:
KING: Would you book her on "The Daily Show?"
STEWART: I would not.
KING: Would not?
STEWART: I would not.
KING: Have no interest, not curiosity about it?
STEWART: I have no interest. Curiosity in what sense?
KING: About her life. About what she got herself into, the events that occurred around her.
STEWART: I am very familiar with what she got herself into. I have gotten myself into that with people that I know.
KING: Elaborate.
STEWART: Sex, isn't it? You never?
How many times -- you've been married like 28 times. You never had -- come on, you've got kids!
KING: Okay, yes.
STEWART: Am I going to have to draw this for you?
KING: No. OK.
on Our Good Friend God:
KING: He's a judgemental God.
STEWART: Very angry. Loves the Americans. Very big. Wants us to have bigger cars. Wants us to have bigger cars and as a little goof on us has only made a finite supply of oil. It's very -- he's very funny. He's a trickster. Here's another little joke he did. He promised three different religions they were the chosen ones, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and then, funny, follow me, he put their holiest sites all in the same place. And then he backed away and he just wants to see who wants it more. That's what this is about. This is God going, hey, show me something, people.
