Obviously, Jackie Mason has nothing to prove anymore. Recently, he's been letting his mouth motor along completely unrestrained: "Clinton would just as easily kill as Hitler would. He has no conscience," he said in a recent interview without explaining himself. As a result, the press has labelled him an "equal opportunity offender," a title he doesn't seem to mind.

It's easy to use this fact as a way of showing the failure of communism to recognize personal liberties. But all we have to do is create a market for such performers in America...
