- If you want to laugh, skip thisMe and my girlfriend are both big fan's of Margret Cho, so we were thrilled to get the chance to see this routine live. Three or four drinks later and this was still an abomination to humor that does none of her earlier work justice. If you want a political sermon, watch this DvD. You will learn such interesting tidbits like Bush is a stupid jerk... for an hour.
Look, it isn't that I disagree with the political message. I too think that Bush is an idiot, that gay marriage should be legal, and pretty much everything else that she advocates for. The issue is that I don't watch Margret Cho to have someone parrot back my beliefs. It isn't like she is some great left wing philosopher who will provide new deep insight into liberal ideology. Margret Cho is a comedian that I watch to laugh... and laughing is the last thing you are going to do while watching this. Occasionally you might chuckle, but how many bad Bush is dumb jokes can you take before you get bored?
If you want to laugh, buy Margret Cho's old DvD, "I'm the one that I want". You will laugh until you cry, and then laugh some more as she tells side splitting stories about sex, traveling, her family and her friends. If you want a political sermon and a few dozen Bush is dumb jokes that will be lucky to get you to chuckle once or twice, order this DvD.

- Do not believe the hatersI do not understand how any fan of Margaret would say that she was being too crass in this movie. It doesn't make sense. Margaret Cho has always been crass.
Granted she is political in this stand up. But considering that since W has been in office, it has been nothing but political talk from ALL comedians; she is not alone. She has always expressed her opinions, which went against the mainstream. (And considering that she has a mostly gay audience, her views kind of makes sense.)
If you are a true Margaret fan, do not believe those who give the one star. Crank the mother up and laugh your --- off.

- What the hell...Since when is Margaret Cho not political?!?!?! She is one person who hasn't run the to the right now that this country is getting scary conservative. Everyone says that comedy comes from pain, and with the recent assault on gays, lesbians, women, people of color, religions that don't fit into the right's idea of christianity, feminists, anti-war activists, and everyone else who bothers to use the space between their ears to think, there is a whole lotta pain going on for many of us. Margaret just puts a humorous face on it.
She is amazing to see in person but this is the next best thing. My mom found much of this funny and there is a world of difference in our political value system.
PS-- Making fun of the Shrub (bush) never gets old, just for the record.

- Mildly Entertaining...I wouldn't say this was Margaret Cho at her best. I enjoyed "I'm the One That I Want" and "Notorious C.H.O." more. This DVD focuses a lot more on issues in the media and with the government. There was less involving herself.
