Comedian and activist Jimmy Tingle is a Boston institution. By his own admission, he is a Roman Catholic Massachusetts Liberal Democrat. Could he possibly be funny? I mean, look at his fellow RCMLD, John Kerry--a real laff riot in 2004. Judge for yourself! This show is an interview with Jimmy plus several cuts from his recent CD.
