Comedy writers/performers are masters of the one-liners, and Fugelsang is very gifted

Dems should accept and use the gifts they offer in order to help the people of this country. John Fugelsang is a fantastic guest host for progressive talk shows where he is both satirical and humanitarian in his approach. It's a treat to listen to him and I wish he had his own show.
Thanks, Tony_FLADEM, for sharing this quote!

I think the Lincoln/Booth analogy is a little over the top.
