I wish I could remember who said this, because it was a standup saying something ... in an interview. Not performing.

"It's a sad state of affairs when the most accurate political commentary is done by comedians, while the country is being governed by clowns." Such an apt description of the UK. And while that was said two governments (ie. less than a year) ago, it's only slightly less accurate now.

When could that have not been truthfully said?

Wasn't the court jester the only telling the truth a trope hundreds of years ago?

I've seen Jon Stewart say very similar things.
