Mort Sahl, a very funny guy. Many probably never heard of him.
He's very old now, maybe he's even dead, I don't know.
I had a couple of his records at one time. Whatever happened to all those records? Beats me.
Someone still runs a website for him:

"There were four million people in the Colonies and we had Jefferson and Franklin. Now we have over 200 million and the two top guys are Clinton and Dole. What can you draw from this? Darwin was wrong!"
“Reagan won because he ran against Jimmy Carter. If he ran unopposed he would have lost.”
“Washington couldn't tell a lie, Nixon couldn't tell the truth, and Reagan couldn't tell the difference.”
"Nixon's the kind of guy that if you were drowning 50 feet off shore, he'd throw you a 30 foot rope. Then Kissinger would go on TV the next night and say that the President had met you more than half-way"
"I’m for capital punishment. You’ve got to execute people. How else are they going to learn?"
