This video series made me not like Pete Holmes any more. Choggie is right, this guy milks every last bit of funny until it's just tedious to take in any more of the material.

I love Pete Holmes. But this is lame.

This voice mail was also played and analyzed in an episode of the radio show This American Life:
http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/461/take-the-money-and-run-for-office
If you're interested in this stuff I heartily recommend this episode, for me it was an eye-opener.
It talks about how organized the fund raising from lobbyists is, and how it is more organized by policians than by lobbyists.
And (if I recall correctly) this also explains part of Eleanor Holmes Norton's call, senior members of influential committees are expected to raise more money, and then redistribute that money among less influential policians within the party. Holmes Norton also mentions that in some part of the voice mail (not played by Cenk), that she has had criticicisms from other politicians that she was not pulling her fund raising weight.

I enjoy this show. Of course I'm not trying to compare it to other shows (yes, the UK version is fantastic... but let's include reality-tinted glasses when it comes to UK vs US shows.) I think the part that I enjoy the most is the idea, the setting. After losing the Woman, Sherlock Holmes loses control, hits bottom, forced out of his mind-numbing distractions of choice with rehab, and eventually moves to another country because he can't bare to be in the same country as his memories. Perhaps I see it as a man trying to recover from the soul-crushing experience of the only woman that he found worthy to love... and found so unexpectedly... perhaps I'm just a romantic... sigh.

I do not dismiss or hide from the show's faults, but all you gentlemen and gentlewoman can stay on your high horse while I shall enjoy both of the Sherlock stories, each as their own style.
