Nine Conservatives in Comedy
Brad Stine
Stine is an evangelical Christian comedian who has toured with the Promise Keepers and is more likely to be found telling jokes from a pulpit than in front of a red brick wall. He rails against animal rights activists, liberals, atheists and anybody who doesnt accept the bible as literal truth with zingers like, Guys want to marry other guys? Beat. Cowards!

Dennis Miller
Best known as the crown prince of the snarky, arcane reference while manning the anchors desk on SNL and later on his own HBO talk show, Millers generally libertarian politics took a sharp right turn shortly after Sept. 11. Now with his material falling on the consistently conservative side, Miller makes regular appearances on Fox News staples like The OReilly Factor and Hannity & Colmes. (Kevin Winter / Getty Images)
P.J. ORourke
A self-professed former hippie, the veteran political satirist and writer generally leans libertarian, but much of his material is generated from tweaking the left. Frequently published in Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone, ORourkes many books include Peace Kills: Americas Fun New Imperialsim: (2004) and Republican Party Reptile (1987).

Ben Stein
Best known for his attendance-taking drone in Ferris Buellers Day Off, Stein started his political career as a speechwriter for Presidents Nixon and Ford. Hes also a columnist for The American Spectator and was given an award in 2003 from the National Right to Life Educational Trust Fund. (Ron Edmonds / AP)
