While I’m sure rjung can speak for himself, I’ll just venture a guess that when he says “anybody,” he’s referring to “any political analyst or commentator,” not to comedians.
Somehow I suspect that this bill is not unrelated to the results of a survey I heard about recently (sorry, no cite) that the single most consistent indicator of voting preference is church attendance. People who attend church at least once a week are far more likely to vote Republican. So its effect would apparently not benefit both parties equally.
