I think this is a very salient point, I can never remember going “well those QA guys certainly know how to party!”, it not that they don’t do a very important job but they tend not to be the most original thinkers out there. I think the reason I find PJ O’Rourke amusing is that he does have the ability to connect the dots, a fact I suspect is not entirely unrelated to the, if he is to believed, industrial quantities of hallucinogenics he has consumed, if right wingers do take drugs it tends to be alcohol and cocaine, neither of which is known to produce much in the way of original thought or empathy.
PJ O'Rourke is my exception that proves the rule in terms of right wing comedians.
