To Republicans, This is Apparently Funny

Having avoided reading anything about the inauguration, I missed this in the Washington Post. Comedian Rich Little was “entertaining” folks at an inaugural ball.

Little said he missed and adored the late President Ronald Reagan and "I wish he was here tonight, but as a matter of fact he is," and he proceeded to impersonate Reagan, saying, "You know, somebody asked me, 'Do you think the war on poverty is over?' I said, 'Yes, the poor lost.' " The crowd went wild.

Torture jokes must have had them rolling in the aisles.
