And now, I want to turn the screen over to someone with some experience in the world of hardball satire:
“There is a certain kind of joke–the good natured, Will Rogers-style putdown of politicians for their hypocrisy or lawyers for their greed–that is at heart profoundly cynical, because categorical attacks leave no room for hope.
This explains, I suppose, my personal taste for the ad hominem. I prefer to attack…in the specific, because such satire implies–or should–that there are moral choices in life, that not everyone behaves this way, and with reason.”
