My first guess would be Jay Leno.

But if it’s not Jay Leno, then George Carlin.

And of course, if the above two are wrong, then the only one left is Lenny Bruce.

  Clint, you’re the winner! It was Dave Barry (who I happen to think is extremely funny!). He wrote:
  
  Of course the truth is that the congresspersons are too busy raising campaign money to read the laws they pass. The laws are written by staff tax nerds who can put pretty much any wording they want in there. I bet that if you actually read the entire vastness of the U.S. Tax Code, you’d find at least one sex scene (“‘Yes, yes, YES!’ moaned Vanessa as Lance, his taut body moist with moisture, again and again depreciated her adjusted gross rate of annualized fiscal debenture”).
