Books, TV, movies, personalities, satire, irony? -- I think not (at least not in my lifetime unless we get a President Palin someday)...

2. On the plus side, they had to re-hire the script writers for the comedy shows.
They all got laid off during the Bush years because there was no need for them. All the comedians had to do was read the daily news.
