Interesting interview with PJ O'Rourke at the Onion
*snip*

O: What do you make of the wave of bestselling conservative commentators?

PO: People love to be told what they know already. It's not so much that what they say is wrong, though Ann Coulter does seem to be completely crazy. But it's kind of like reading The Power Of Positive Thinking, or any other advice or how-to book. All they do is reassure people of their basic opinions, and then they can continue to act like they've always acted. I'd say it's time to move on to something else, but I don't know what it would be.

O: Well, what do you think of The Daily Show?

PO: Oh, good! I wasn't thinking about that. I don't watch much television. Yeah, that's pretty funny. I don't know where they stand politically, do you?

O: They lean left, but they'll mock Howard Dean, too.

PO: Which needs doing. Um... Bill Maher can be pretty good, except when he gets "important." Maher's all over the place politically.
