I think part of the reason that comedians don't approach it from that angle is that, unless you have an audience of Texan rednecks with a studied awareness of geopolitics (an unlikely combination, I think you will agree), you are going to find it hard to make it funny.
Let's face it, if PJ O'Rourke did stand-up, I'd happily go to see him and I would laugh just as loudly as I do with Mark Thomas, providing the timing and delivery were good. Liberals, as we probably agree, are fertile ground for taking the piss, particularly in the land of political correctness.
