Because, of course, as we all know for an indisputable empirical fact, the vast bulk of comedians are clearly conservative.

Primaries ALP 43, Coalition 40.

Mr Rudd’s approval rating remains relatively unchanged at 66 per cent compared with 36 per cent for Dr Nelson. Mr Rudd leads Dr Nelson as preferred prime minister by 65 to 20 per cent, a 3-percentage point drop.

ShowsOn whoops, sorry excuse the plagiarism!

No, I didn’t mean to imply that at all. I am glad someone else noticed such a bizarre comment. Sometimes I wonder where she makes this stuff up. Like in her interview in an airport with Alexander Downer how she cited some U.S. writer to the effect that right wingers are more jovial and deploy their senses of humour more often than progressives!

“If the recent assessment of Roger Kimball, editor of The New Criterion, is correct. ‘Conservatives differ from progressives in many ways, but one important way is in the quota of cheerfulness and humour they deploy,’ Kimball wrote”

No empirical evidence offered whatsoever, she just cites a blank assertion, then moves on. Of course she qualifies it that it may be untrue, but if she thought this anecdote was possibly untrue, why did she bother repeating it? This is a good example of media being absolutely full of opinion these days, at the expense of people grappling with ideas to tentatively come to the conclusion on some facts.

My guess is her crap detection meter is switched off when she reads comments she agrees with for ideological reasons. Of course if it is something she disagrees with, she will parse every word in intricate detail, noting of course, the inherent lack of humour in ideas she opposes.

My reply to this assertion was “I’ve never been more cheerful than when reading the hilarity that conservatives are more cheerful than progressives!”

I don’t think I’ve ever heard her speak, but I’d assume that her accent is definitely non-centrist. She probably has a right wing accent – whatever the hell that means.
