Not bad, definitely a few legit lol's. Rep. Gaetz's lead-in to the conclusion was sublime.

Not watched it yet but Palin's comments about 'our brave troops' and so one were extremely cringy. Is that kind of nonsense standard rhetoric amongst American politicians?

Party of personal responsibility right there.

I saw the NRA bit and compared to Ali G, Borat and Bruno it seems forced and artificial. Getting people to say silly things in front of a teleprompter isn't the most biting of satire. These people's actual political positions are crazy enough, no need to give them strawman positions and then make fun of those.

The legit funny bits were some of SBC's lines "He died doing something that I love" and the unscripted stuff that the guests said, like the line about marital rape and the congressman who didn't want to be on the record espousing one of his political beliefs.

Are the other segments better?

the pratt guy is a legit evil guy. he found it genuinely amusing that a muslim girl was shot for praying and that sbc raped his wife.

saw the other segments. gun part was far and away the best. the other ones were kinda meh. def some funny parts if thats your type of humor.

cant wait for Palin.
