Funny, when Mitt mentions it, it's a "mistake"....
Lebovitz is a smart chap, however, good comedic timing & a few good accents don't mean he's an expert. But hey, if it causes some to pay political attention bring it on!
Leibowitz, says wiki.
I wouldnt say his accents are good; his voices in-character, which lead us through switches in perspective (opposing mentalities), are good.
While the topic may be his show's renewed British viewership, the audience JSL has in mind here is still (the saner sort of) USAmerican. A pity that in the world beyond those borders this artful skewerer seems--like many a sex tourist--happy with any old meat.
