- You are wrong, winky-breath! I've been reluctant to get in on this thread
- because as you both pointed out, this has nothing to do with MST3k, but
- you, sir, have gone TOO FAR. My opinions follow:
-
- Dennis Leary's opinions are definitely NOT MST3K like. The guys behind
- MST3K (at least from what I can tell on the show) are good-natured,
- inherently funny guys comfortable with all kinds of humor. Leary is, IMO,
- a no-talent Lenny Bruce wannabe who has made a lot of money on really
- tasteless "humor," although for the life of me I can't see any humor in it
- at all. He's just a notch above Andrew Dice Clay on the infernal circles
- of Comedic Hell. The guys on MST3K occasionally take jabs at other comedians
- that they don't find funny, like Gallagher and Lucille Ball, but they're
- never as mean-spirited as Leary is. They also know how far you can go with
- ragging on somebody and still keep it funny. Leary doesn't seem to have
- that talent.

- PS: Plus, Leary has made most his money off of MTV. That's a big strike
- against him.
