Lewis Black: Red, White and Screwed

Saturday May 27, 2006
He's known as "America's foremost commentator on everything," and his frenetic, savagely funny rants on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart have become legendary. If you're a fan of Lewis Black's caustic and cranky brand of political comedy -- or if you've never seen his genius on display -- you can catch his new HBO comedy special, "Lewis Black: Red, White and Screwed," which debuts Saturday June 10 (10 p.m. ET).

Black is a man on the edge, and in his latest performance he spouts off about the Iraq War, Hurricane Katrina, FEMA, gay marriage, the Dick Cheney shooting, President Bush, and other topics ripe for ridicule.

Don't have HBO? See a live performance of Black's "Red, White and Screwed" show, which he's currently taking on the road, or check out the DVD of his last side-splitting HBO special, "Black on Broadway."

One of my favorite Lewis Black quotes:

“In my lifetime, we’ve gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. We’ve gone from John F. Kennedy to Al Gore. If this is evolution, I believe that in twelve years, we’ll be voting for plants.”

Are you kidding me? This guy’s amazing! Where’s his DVD’s? “America, WAKE-UP”…Yes, you… Think about it… Thank’s Lewis for your
“insight and talent”… Not to mention having the “balls” to share it, where as most people can’t admit they even like it!
