The Humorless Left - Still Yet Again

I previously noted (here and here) how humorless the left have become. Now we see even leftist comedians aren't very funny. Here we have lefty "comedian" Al Franken with his rolling-on-the-floor take on the still unresolved Karl Rove-Scooter Libby-CIA nonsense:

"And so basically, what it looks like is going to happen is that Libby and Karl Rove are going to be executed” because “outing a CIA agent is treason,” left-wing author and radio talk show host Al Franken asserted Friday night, to audience laughter, on CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman. Franken qualified his hard-edged satire: "Yeah. And I don't know how I feel about it because I'm basically against the death penalty, but they are going to be executed it looks like." Franken later suggested that President Bush is at risk of receiving the same punishment, since Karl Rove likely told him what he did, but he added a caveat: “I think, by the way, that we should never ever, ever, ever execute a sitting President."

That's rich, Al. You're a funny guy. Rove and Libby are "going to be executed," which makes you ambivalent because you are against the death penalty. Franken and his ilk have no problem sparing the lives of cop killers, but when he thinks capital punishment might be applicable to his political opponents, he needs to step back and re-evaluate his position. And he fancies that witty reparte.

What a horse's behind.
