1. Republican comedy really isn't funny
I haven't seen it, but I wonder what they think there is of Michael Moore to satirize:
-Anti-mass murder in schools
-Anti-war
-Pro-health care, especially for US heroes

I think it's pretty repulsive to make fun of what Moore stands for.

5. What, you're telling me that Fox's "Half Hour News Hour" wasn't comedy gold?

Or how about Rush Limbaugh selling T-Shirts for "Club Gitmo"? You see, he's comparing it to a tropical resort! Where people get waterboarded and their genitals sliced! Come on now! Torture? That's hi-larious!

2. The only time Repubs are funny is when they're serious.
Re Steele's jobs vs. work fiasco.

4. I'm just sad that one of the creators of some of my all time favorite movies was behind it.
I loved "Airplane", "Police Squad" and the "Naked Gun" series with a passion growing up, but was sad to see David Zucker reduced to making lame right wing propoganda films. Oh well, maybe brother Jerry has more sense?

Not to mention Lt. Frank Drebin/Dr. Rumack play a role in it, but I'm hoping that's more of a loyalty to the Zuckers type of thing.

From everything that I've seen or heard, I'm not going to bother watching the whole movie though. Sounds like a stinker.
