Political and funny

RE “Satire, Right -- But Comics’ Punch Lines Veer to the Left,” by Barbara Serrano, May 29: I find this another example of misguided lefties trying to sell their ideology. It hasn’t worked on Air America, or anywhere else. With the exception of Bob Hope and Jackie Mason, every comedian I can think of is liberal, or “progressive.” But they are successful comedians because their focus is on funny, not socialism, white-bashing and promoting homosexuality. This “Laughing Liberally” troupe will not convert any “heartland” audiences to their agenda.
