I have a theory about why the right isn't funny. First of all, it's true: there are no funny people on the right. I mean, look at Ben Stein.

Second, instead of humor they have outrage. Ann Coulter is the right's Jon Stewart. The whole point is she's not funny, she's brazen. Who gives a fuck if it's true, IT FEELS GOOD TO SAY IT. The right's sense of theater comes out in being sassy and wild. Like humor, it's not exactly true but takes off from reality. Or, as Ann would say,

"Republicans will shoot burn and bury the terrorists. Kerry will give them a speech."
