The header that O'Rourke "heckles conservative fiscal irresponsibility" begs a few questions. By definition "fiscal irresponsibility" can't be conservative. He can heckle "Republicans who sold out on conservative fiscal principles" but there is no such thing as "conservative fiscal irresponsibility." It's like saying "miserly generosity."

I know that some people really like this guy but I find a lot of his humor pretty distasteful not to mention I think that his attitude on issues like gun control are pretty negative.

I agree but I did enjoy his answer on whether or not Sarah Palin is the future voice of the republican party

What a guy! He does well with a microphone and his writing is even more impactful. I recommend reading his work. You'll burst out laughing.

His perspective is wickedly funny, and refreshingly practical for people value freedom and are concerned about the lack of clarity in public policy.
