The Col: define success. There are plenty of right-wing comics making a living with comedy. But who cares? There are so many possible factors (like the fact that the John Stewart show has a policy against scheduling conservatives-with only some exceptions to that). Didn't you read that memo from the shows exec? Guess not.

But again, who cares? In the big picture, it's a meaningless thing (except to perhaps say that those in power and control prefer liberal jokesters because they themselves are libs.)

Pretty much like college campuses. Lots of liberal profs, few conservatives. Why? Colleges love diversity of opinion.
