Stand up comedians are often just as important watchdogs as journalists. Chris Rock, in my opinion, rarely loses a flow and is always funny. His political humor sees into the heads of our leaders and points out what their words really mean. He may be ridiculous but he makes some good points.

ANY VIDEOS YOU CLICK HERE WILL PROBABLY OFFEND SOMEBODY AROUND YOU.

So keep it down. That being said, here are some of Chris Rock’s political views with video linked if I could find it. They present logic that’s tough to argue with.

On Gun Control: “Gun control? We need bullet control! I think every bullet should cost 5,000 dollars. Because if a bullet cost five thousand dollar, we wouldn’t have any innocent bystanders.“

On Gay Marriage: “Gay people got a right to be as miserable as anyone else.”

On Hillary: “My wife, we’ve been married 10 years, but if she got on stage now, y’all wouldn’t laugh at all.”

On Reverend Wright: “Have you ever met a 75-year-old black man in this country that wasn’t angry? I mean, they have a few reasons…”

On Obama: “We’ve never seen a black man so cool who wasn’t in the music business…”

On McCain: “We don’t need a president with a bucket list. Who’s going to be his VP? A nurse?” (This joke was made months before Sarah Palin’s selection, drawing even more sexy nurse parallels).

Here is a very interesting piece Rolling Stone did on Chris Rock’s significance in the times of an election.

Bill Clinton was on Letterman the other night as well as “The Daily Show,” and I really think he gives a great interview. Clinton is obviously a smart guy who is really trying to do what’s best for his party, and in turn his country.

Or is that just what he wants me to think?

Couldn’t he be faking this? Clinton has reason to be bitter against Barack Obama. If you’re trying to get your wife elected against this guy for an extended period of time, you have spent plenty of time focusing on what you don’t like about him. Here is a site that examined some of his attacks on Obama and their “thruthiness.” Unfortunately, when the party did not select Hil-dog as their candidate, the Clintons have to do a full 180 and extol Obama’s virtues. This is like when Spiderman and Venom have to join forces to take out Carnage (Nerdy but true). Just not as violent (unless John McCain has anything to say about it).

So Bubba is not exactly happy about Obama beating up on his wife, but he’s got to grin and bear it if he wants any future credibility with the Democrats or he shall face a fate similar to Joe Lieberman. He goes onto talk shows and explains why he thinks Obama is the best choice for the next President quite eloquently:

Here is the Letterman Interview.

Here is a link to The Daily Show interview. Part 2

Then the next guest, Chris Rock, almost negates Bill’s support:

“Is it me or did he not wanna say the name Barack Obama?”

After all the great things Bill said about the economy and his party support, I ask you this: Which video is circulating the web faster?

Charles M. Blow of the New York Times agrees with me and goes just a little further to say, maybe the Clintons don’t even want Obama to win because that would up their chances in 2012.

In the end, here we have another example of a comedian being the whistleblower. Who is wearing the jester’s cap these days? The politicians or the comedians?
