I'm so proud of the people I know. A few weeks back, my boy Derrick Ashong held it down for Obama and yesterday fellow NYC comedian Lee Camp straight up punked Fox News. Lee and I have worked together for countless shows as part of Laughing Liberally. The entire clip is three minutes. Watch the entire thing. It's so worth it.
You can catch Lee all month on Comedy Central's Fresh Debate 08 series of clips.
A more popular version of Lee's Fox News clip is available here, and you can Digg it here, but I wanted to provide the entire segment so you could see just how bold his question was. He laid in the cut and then BAM!

Whatever Lee Camp wants me to do (and I mean ANYTHING) he just needs to crook his pinky finger and I'll be there. And that *includes* punching out whoever that "conservative" comedian is/was.
Bet Video I've seen All Day!! ....People should be boycotting the news and their advertisers due to the propoganda and censorshop of the candidates running for president!
Ron Paul 08!!
Congrats to LEE CAMP on his balls and integrity! We need more comedians with his kind of fearlessness. This is right up there with Stephen Colbert at the White House Press Corps dinner and Jon Stewart on Crossfire. Way to go, Lee. I knew you were gonna be the best kind of trouble when I met him.
i can't believe this. Paul Provenza just commented on my blog!!! thanks homey.
another life goal off the to do list :)
that conservative comedian demonstrates the impotence of the Republicans. They are so out of touch with America it is hilarious. She isn't funny at all. The only funny thing about her is that she is like watching your grandmother try to rap. That is what the conservatives in this country have become...rapping grandmothers. Her reference to Maberry was pathetic. That's the best she has-the best routine she can muster for a national tv appearance. She is the personification of the religious/republican/conservative movement. They try to be funny, but they are so out of touch with people and reality that they all seem like "Leave it to Beaver" reruns. Someone should really tell them that white people can't dance and old white republicans have now business doing comedy. Especially when they have blood on their hands.
