"There are legitmate differences between a conservative and a liberal," notes comedian Will Durst. "A liberal believes that by helping the greater good, it will eventually come back and benefit me. And a conservative believes the opposite. A conservative believes by helping me, it'll eventually come back and benefit me." The joke is typical Durst, although most of his stuff is up-to-the-second topical and not soft on anyone, although we think he takes the piss out of the right more often than the left. Of the above snark, for example, he points out that "Even conservatives will laugh at that joke, because they don't care."
