example: the longest
carnival in America. He has man-
aged to jump from one major scam to
another. Hillary Clinton can't identify
a single accomplishment in her life.
Then there's Madonna. What's with the
phony English accent? She grew up in
Michigan, so why does she speak like
Maggie Smith?
How about the Botox-addicted Nancy
Pelosi? So the Democrats finally won

something: speaker of the
House. Mazel toy. Now what?
They're going to fix Iraq
overnight? Cindy Sheehan,
sadly, exploited a personal
tragedy for her own pub-
lic aggrandizement. Katie
Couric is perky, but "perky"
doesn't belong behind a news
desk. Barbra Streisand has
stuck her famous nose out
for lefty causes for years.
And how about Jimmy Carter? If he
had possessed leadership skills equal
to his carpentry talent, he might not
have put nails in his own coffin while
president.

gest "schmuck" of all time?

umorist, author and col-
umnist Steve Hofstetter
can't make up his mind
whether he wants to be in front of
an audience as a comedian or as
a writer — so he pursues both. But
one thing he does know for sure. "I
want to always remember where I
came from."
Hofstetter was raised in a
Conservative Jewish home in
Queens, N.Y., where his parents
were active in a local synagogue.
He practices Judaism and keeps
kosher as best he can while travel-
ing around the country.
Now 27 — and single — he lives in
Los Angeles to help perpetuate his
dual career. And it's going pretty
well, with a brutal schedule of
about 250 standup performances a
year (including more than 100 col-
leges), hundreds of television and
radio appearances, plus magazine
and online columns.
"His propensity for provok-
ing intelligent laughs has earned
Hofstetter the title of 'Thinking
Man's Comic," enthuses one
reviewer about Hofstetter's brand
of observational humor.
A regular at Mike Ridley's
Comedy Castle in Royal Oak,
Hofstetter, as part of a three-man
comedy tour, will return there for

three nights, Thursday-Saturday,
June 28-30. Then the trio will
perform at Ann Arbor's Comedy
Showcase Thursday-Saturday, July
12-14.
The other two members of his
troupe, also known as the "King
Davids of Comedy," are Jewish
comic Phil Maze and Dennis
Donahoe, "who thinks he's Jewish
and often answers more questions
about Judaism than we do," says
Hofstetter.
Hofstetter, Mazo and Donahoe
travel the country in a small bus,
playing games and music. "We use
some of the proceeds from our
gigs for important Jewish causes,
like Magen David Adorn, and things
like paying back our college loans,"
says Hofstetter.
The young comic performed with
an improv comedy troupe in the
eighth grade and did standup as
a teenager in a New York lounge.
"But I also have always loved to
write, and I got 'published' at 15,
winning an online poetry contest,"
he says.
Hofstetter studied writing and
American history at Columbia
University, working on the college
newspaper and broadcasting bas-
ketball and baseball games. He took
a year off to help write Web site
content for the New York Yankees.
His online writing credits
include Sports Illustrated, ESPN,
