But some of it is due to this uncomfortable truth: For the most part, Republicans are lousy filmmakers.

I think this is true for the same reason that so many current liberal films are horrible. They put politics before entertainment. They twist the art form in order to preach their gospel. It is obvious and annoying.

John Stewart is a funny man who happens to be liberal. I imagine that comedic effect is his first priority, politics coming in second. If he put politics first, the comedy would suffer.

I went to a few tapings of the Fox half hour comedy hour. It was funniest when they did not insist on every joke having to reflect a conservative viewpoint. Unfortunately, they did not do enough of this.
