It's also the only comedy show that puts comedy before partisanship, attacking positions from all over the spectrum--which is what good comedy is supposed to do.

I don't think good comedy is supposed to attack anyone at all.

You'd be demonstrably wrong about that. Comedy is all about attacking, mocking, criticizing or otherwise making fun of someone. Whether it's Bob Hope, George Carlin, Jack Benny, or any other big name, or any comedy movie or TV show, there's aggression at the root of all comedy.
