Seriously, I was aware that Dunham was popular: he gets big audiences for his stand-up and had a huge tune-in for a Comedy Central special. 5.3 million people? For a ventriloquism show starring a Halloween skeleton badly impersonating a Muslim terrorist? 5.3 million people watched-and this was against heavy competition including The Office and Grey’s Anatomy. That was until last week, when The Jeff Dunham Show became Comedy Central’s highest-rated debut ever. Part of being a grown-up is recognizing that decent, reasonable, non-brainwashed fellow citizens can simply disagree with you. When my government chooses a policy I reject, I do not believe that makes it constitutionally illegitimate. When my preferred candidates lose an election, I do not threaten to move to Canada. I usually believe in accepting defeat gracefully.
