Mort Sahl explains what a "Social Democrat" is.

A lot of people have been wondering what a "Social Democrat" is.
Mort Sahl gave a good explanation back in 1967.

Morton Lyon "Mort" Sahl (born May 11, 1927) is a Canadian-born American comedian and actor, widely considered the first modern stand-up comedian. He was the first comedian to dress casually and speak about current events in a matter-of-fact style. He helped to get Lenny Bruce some gigs at the hungry i, and occasionally wrote jokes for speeches delivered by President John F. Kennedy.[1][2] Sahl got deeply involved in the post-Warren Commission investigation of Kennedy's death.

3. I saw Mort perform at a club in Seattle back in the mid-60s.

He was awesome! Good to know he's still with us. Thanks for posting this--brings back a great memory and of course a smile!

5. He's had a weekly show since your post

and before.. Every Thursday, 7pm PT.. He has a live audience, but he takes questions from Periscope/Twitter (@mortsahlsays). He's STILL the greatest, and I was born in the 80s!

And listening to his old records, you see how he points the hypocrisy with a wonderful x-ray.
