Lewis Black, a champion of common sense, commenting on the presidential election in a June 2004 performance:
I’ve never seen anything quite like this administration...If you want to elect George W. Bush, that’s the prick I’m gonna yell about. If you want to elect John Kerry, I’ll be yelling about him. My problem is with, huh-huh—authority!
Yeah, that’s typically how I’ve approached politics. He also threw this out about Iraq at the same live performance:
It is the first war that I know of, that we are having the discussion that we should have had before the war, afterward.
That would make too much sense to discuss something before you actually do it.
Black is cool; but no one had it together like this dude did.
Why aren't we celebrating the birth of Bill Hicks?

Although I don't think he would be too keen on the idea...
