"When comedians flatter the president, they become court jesters, and the country becomes a banana republic. There are probably even people who would wish to misconstrue that last phrase of mine if they felt "sensitive" enough. In which case they can take a number, get on line, and ask to suck my thumb."
It's as if he knew Le Pew's inner soul.

Hitch was enano numero uno for a while.
when unfunny comedians blow politicians, we don't become a "banana republic", we just don't laugh. The banana republic thing is arguably the result of more significant events than bad jokes: widespread cronyism, perverting the rule of law, and attempting to direct power towards the executive for instance.
You mean now, right?
