30. PJ O'Rourke, bringing on the funny with an embarrassing "you'll be SORRY!" screed.
Some comedy highlights: He's wanting to blame most of the GOP's downfall on the market implosion, which came about because evil libruls pressured those poor conservatives to make bad mortgages available to trashy low class people like PJ's neighbor, "Jim Jerk down the road from me, with all the cars up on blocks in his front yard."

Then he clarifies further who exactly is NOT at fault:
"Anyway, it's no use blaming Wall Street. Blaming Wall Street for being greedy is like scolding defensive linemen for being big and aggressive. The people on Wall Street never claimed to be public servants. They took no oath of office. They're in it for the money. We pay them to be in it for the money. We don't want our retirement accounts to get a 2 percent return."

I think somebody should start collecting all the angry, self-pitying arias being sung by so many conservative assholes since the election, and write them up as a tragic opera.
