SFist Reviews: The Second Annual Bush Going Away Party

The Second Annual George Bush Going Away Party comedy event on Saturday showed the difficulties in political humor. Especially political humor in San Franciso, where saying "Bush sucks" is greeted with the same sort of vigorous acknowledgement as saying "Yankees suck!" in Boston. There were way too many punch lines that were pretty much along the lines of "Bush is stupid" or "Cheney is evi"" or "red state voters are dumb" all greeted with thunderous applause. And the audience, about what you’d expect at such an event-- middle aged hippies from Marin with "Visualize Peace" bumper- were ready for some serious playa hatin'. The audience cheered when somebody just said, "I hate SUVs."
