"Bill Hicks Award Winner" jokes about assassinating Obama

submitted by MINK

1 decade 6 years 3 weeks ago

Ohh, the IronySift is strong with this one. Jeff Kreisler makes the infamous error of joking about assassinating Barack Obama at about 2:00 in this clip from the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.

I don't really think he's got the delivery to do this kind of stuff. Sifted because I am interested in seeing you try to figure out how to vote, and on what basis... especially considering the reaction when Fox did the same thing in a different context.

From his official biog:
"A writer for Comedy Central's Indecision2008 and winner of the Bill Hicks Spirit Award for Thought Provoking Comedy, Jeff Kreisler has his own critically-acclaimed political comedy tour (Comedy Against Evil), syndicated business humor column and video (Funny Money), and a sweet book deal with Harper Collins to write the satire Get Rich Cheating. He recently performed with the major US Presidential candidates, is in the staff and cast of the new show from the creator of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (Shoot The Messenger), had a 5-star show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and was just invited to the Glasgow International Comedy Fest. He went to Princeton, Exeter, and Virginia Law School, has performed on TV and radio networks, was an all-league football player, taught English in Russia, started a non-profit dedicated to at-risk youth, plays mediocre blues on the alto sax, lives in New York City, misses San Francisco, Boston, and D.C., and, most of all, loves asparagus." jeffkreisler.com
