7. That's funny. Maher: Smartest, funniest political humorist ever. This is one

smart guy. And knowledgeable. In interviews he's quick with a funny comeback, and knows something about just about everything involving politics. The world would be a smaller place without him.

Jon Stewart's up there, too.

Carlin was, too...but I wouldn't call him a political humorist/satirist. He was a stand-up comedian. But Funny with a capital "F."

Colbert....what a unique talent. Where did this guy come from? He just sprang from the earth a few years ago and became this phenomenal success the likes of which the country has rarely seen.

All exceptional comedians. I can't think of another country that produces funny smart guys like these.
