Do you still laugh at political humor even if it is aimed at your side?

I only laugh at the enemy, because they are the Enemy! (not the opposition!)

I laugh at friends as well as foe, but it has to be REALY funny for me to laugh at my own side, sacred cows and whatnot!

I am an equal opportunity giggler, because I don't take polotics that serious, and the "true believers" on any issue worry me. That and I like to laugh.

My humor judgement is independant of my polotics. It is the joke, not the ideology that counts.

I often vacilate between despair and hysterial laughter when thinking about polotics too seriously.

Like the Daily Show on Comedy Central, National Lampoon is an equal opportunity jester.
For today's fare, M M!

With a little generic anti insanity/over the top political ad parody thrown in.

Every bit as funny as the Jibjab animation. ("This Land is Your Land")I especialy like that one, because it uses every arguement used by both sides, however silly. (Liberal Weiner! Right Wing Nut Job! Herman Munster! Dumbass!)

For me, NL lost its edge a looong time ago. Just like Saturday Night Live and the Bermanised Star Trek franchise, (to paraphrase Michael O'Donohugh) looking at them today is like watching old men die.

I can generally laugh at any side in politics.

Mad Magazine and MadTV.

They poke fun at both sides and it gets me howling.

I liked "Only a Liberal Would Believe..." followed by "Only a Conservative Would Believe..."

It's funny 'cause it's all true!

Both sides have something wrong with them.

Is it funny? Then I laugh at it. My sense of humor is generally completely separate from my politics.
