Monty Python is hilarious while rarely ever speaking to power. The key is "truth". For something to be funny, it has to have a degree of truth or plausibility to it. That's what has made the likes of Pryor, Carlin, Chappelle, Stewart, et. al. so much more intensely funny. It's what also makes a joke about a 190 pound speaker eating two turkeys much more funny when the comedian is over 300 pounds. And it's what makes your micro-bio hilarious.
Not ironically, coulter fans howl at her comments/"jokes" because, to them, her words are the truth.
The "to power" part really isn't important.
