Liberals have no self awareness...

"Whereas liberals like to think of themselves as inclusive, tolerant moral heroes fighting to save the planet and end prejudice, good satire forces liberals to glimpse the fact that they are often the very opposite of that -- which explains why the one thing such liberals cannot bear to see without rose-colored glasses is themselves."

"The very silliness of the humor rests in the fact that it calls into question the basic rules of existence. Self-awareness and comedy go together; so often that what is being satirized in satire is the non-self-awareness, the cluelessness, of the target."
