Mort Sahl on NPR

Mort Sahl is one of my heroes. There wouldn't be a Jon Stewart or a Stephen Corbet, let alone a Lewis Black or a Bill Mahr if there hadn't been a Mort Sahl!

"Mort Sahl has skewered presidents from Eisenhower through George W. Bush. The political comedian broke ground back in the late 1950s and early 1960s as a stand-up who looked to the day's headlines for his routines rather than relying on one-liners."
