I saw him live and adored the manner in which he presented different peoples. His characterizations of the Chinese, for example, evinced the admiration he held for aspects of their culture, and that love made his teasing that much more bitingly fabulous. We could laugh together via our also acknowledging our respect for those we see that have fallen. i.e. the Olympics material about the amazing PRC... And gee, even the bitter break-ups-- there's a loving intimacy revealed to us in mocking that state of being we have all endured at one time or another.
And I recognized some of the material in his May stand-up show at Cobb's in his presidential campaign routines in the film Man of the Year. Such precise slicing and dicing of political hypocrisy and contradictions.
And there's more and more to adore... He's just one of the best at doing tribes other than his own and I think it's the basic respect and love he mixes in there.
