Well, i imagine there are a lot of funny conservative comedians out there. They're just known as apolitical comedians.

There are a number of comedians who seem Republican, but never really go into that political realm. Partly because it'd probably be harder to find work. I don't think anyone would be blackballed or anything silly like that, but being a conservative would hurt matters more then help.

Even just for political events. As Jay Leno said, Republicans seem more willing to laugh at themselves. '

Good old Dr. Dre and Ice Cube represents at least one of those two factors. Though i'm not sure which.

NWA ended up playing a number of Republican events, including i believe the RNC when they were first out.

Of course then again Maybe it was all just Easy E.  I mean he had dinner at the whitehouse with George Bush senior I believe.

EDIT: fairly decent blog post when it comes to conservative comedians.  Or seems that way anwyay.

I wish I could be able to find a list of some.  I do not follow blogger much, unless it comes up through an aggregator.  And this must be the interview with Leno you refer to that quote is from:

I don't follow blogger at all honestly.  Just between posts i tend to do a bit of research and read various articles and post anything that seems relevent and trustworthy.
