A first for me: I missed The Big Speech — his recent HBO special — but now it’s been excerpted online, and you should catch as much as you can. He’s especially brilliant in his “Pelosi Galore” takedown; but then, he has so much material. My favorite, though, is the riff on Obama casting NASA [...] Because last Sunday he went 15-for-29, for 184 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, and a QB rating of 68.8.
