Whatever your stance on right-wingers, they’re not funny. Newt Gingrich. Not funny. Ronald Reagan. Not funny. Ann Coulter. Funny as a crutch. The Bushes. Okay, unintentionally funny.

Syndicated radio jock and right-wing attack dog Glenn Beck fancies himself the reactionary with a difference, and he’s out to prove it with his six-city “Common Sense” comedy tour that hits Dodge Theatre.

Beck’s press promises a “no-holds-barred comedic look at the state of our culture and the terrifying shortage of common sense – especially in Washington.” Translation: Dude’s gonna whack Obama around like a piñata on Cinco de Mayo. Sounds like a Red State riot.
