He'd ask a reverent question, she'd laser him a suspicious look, waiting for the zinger. Oprah needn't have worried. Like Nelson, the bully on The Simpsons who melted when Marge showed him a little affection, Dave has been known to puddle in the presence of the more august butts of his jokes. Recall that Hillary Clinton, the victim of several years of merciless nightly barbs about her and her husband, got the caress of sycophancy...

It opens up a world that had been stigmatized and makes it palatable to the respectable viewers of Broadway plays and Hollywood cinema. But a movie that wants to truly tackle issues of poverty and disease in America would have to give itself a harder task. It would have to step across the street in Alphabet City to the homeless community. It would have to ignore the Westchester rebels...
