Why is it that our sharpest political commentators are comedians?

"Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about:
politicians," he explained in a routine that challenged all the
premises of today's half-a-loaf reformers. "Everybody complains about
politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think
these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They
don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from
American parents and American families, American homes, American
schools, American churches, American businesses and American
universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the
best we can do folks. "
