7. I think the show uses politics more as a source for comedy...
...than it does use comedy to express political views. There's a difference.

Nice to know you're a DR fan, though. I personally love the guy.

And I thought San Diego was largely a liberal territory?

But of course, I would argue about whether or not joking about rape et al is funny or not, but that just boils down to opinion. So does whether or not the show is generally funny. And while I can understand how some people can find jokes about the Iraqi POW torture offensive, it just doesn't bother me on "Tough Crowd."
