"Interesting stats I like all of these guys, watch all of them a little, and not surprised by the results – I would have guessed along these lines. Curious about the title you choose though. Why not which hosts dis Republicans the most? or maybe more neutral – political leanings of late night hosts’ jokes? I mean, the surprise is that Letterman and Stewart aim 3 out of 4 jokes and [sic] conservatives – at a time when they control nothing. Thats more the story, isn’t it?"
