He made me laugh! I remember listening to one of his stand-up performances on tape in college. And it was nasty! Very funny, but thoroughly "blue"!

I saw Redd Foxx live once, at a comedy club in the East Village. He was impressively obscene, a true artist. Right up there with the champion dirty talker, Bob Saget.

On that team. Using nasty language doesn't make you funny. It takes skill and talent to make people laugh.

LaWanda Page, was another amazing blue comedian. I remember hearing recordings of her stand-up act when I was young and being amazed that a woman could be so crass. So of course I loved it.

They were blue as hell ... And huhlarious ...

Also Moms Mabley, Flip Wilson, Pigmeat Marvin, among others. Today's comedians can't touch them.

Good on ya, Rep. Max Rose! Tell them all to their hypocritical faces, "we see you" ! I don't know how any of the republicans can sleep at night. I'll bet their own consciences are probably having some interesting conversations with them, too.

... but Virginia Foxx is most likely going to stick around. While all of NC's districts have been redrawn, her district is pretty ruby red. You could run a turd as a Republican in this district and it would win in a landslide. My guess is Virginia Foxx will continue to be in Congress in that district until she's about to pass on to the next life. A person somewhat like Howard Coble in some respects - very disagreeable policies but with a good congressional office that appears to support the needs of the district.
