* John Oliver gives us a decidedly liberal take on state legislatures, including an appearance by Rep. Mike Bost (5-minute mark), but it’s worth a watch (some profanity, mostly bleeped) and it’s pretty darned funny…

I saw Ann Williams too on the list of people who cake walk every two years.

Good piece. Good for Comedy Central.

think I saw Harmon’s name on the scroll too.
the Bost bit is so funny/sad watching it going national.

Hilarious. Interesting. Depressing.

Oliver is a talented comic, no doubt.

You can’t fake funny.
Fox News, Rush and the far-right do most of the work for Oliver, Stewart and Colbert.
Where’s the right-wing funny show?

Wordslinger - As long as the GOP is perceived as the party of rich white men, it’s going to be tough. Ripping on “The Establishment” is always funnier.

They really tapped into the IL Dem unopposed at the end there. I missed Harmon, but caught the aforementioned BFC plus Camille Lilly, Ann Williams and Andre Thapedi.
Wordslinger and bdrlgion: I agree wholeheartedly.

There’s no right wing funny and no left wing angry. (or a least not as much) I wonder how the guy that got caught copying ALEC did on his English essays in college…

I’m especially thick today. Just caught the II reference. Hilarious.
I think it was 47 a couple years ago, when the South burbs came up in the news, who did a riff on the Hyman Roth monologue that ended “that kid’s name was Robert Shaw. And the city he invented was Dolton. And there’s not a plaque….”

“I hate to sound like Billy Baldwin’s agent, but you can’t keep copying everything that Alec does.” priceless.

Maybe I’ll need to pay attention to some other district. Where I am State legislators run mostly unopposed, until redistricting.

….made it to the end of the bit, and I see that was the point of it.
It’s a Soviet ballot.

John is the best at this. I always end my weekends with show. Can’t top the master of the dingo.
