Humor as politics is an art

[Az]

Cracking any old joke that comes to mind is mere sophistry. Humor can be a potent weapon if used correctly. But if used incorrectly it merely reflects back on the individual poorly. Lets see if we can find the core of the art of humor as political dialog and put it to our use.

Post any examples of political humor that was effective. Quotes from famous people. Observations that burst bubbles. Lets see if we can find the style and finesse that can make our jabs more effective.

A walk down the path of history is crunchy with the crispy corpses of those who pooh-poohed or ignored the clown car of ridicule when it pulled up to the curb. - Stephen Jones
