I think that she does have pretty good deliverary, but her stand up has a really choppy flow and no sense of direction. Some people can make up for this by throwing in lots of funny extemperaneous dialogue between the established jokes in their set (Patton Oswalt is a good example of this), but she just seems formless. I definitely prefer stand ups who do sets that have a clear beginning and end, and work through recurring themes. (Eddie Izzard, for example.)
As for her looks - yeah, she's attractive. I guess some people aren't into cute Jewish girls, but whatever.

I can think of a lot of really attractive female comedians, actually.

Sexism? It's merely concision.

With "dominatrix" I think it's just that the sex matters more explicitly!

The modern word "sexism" doesn't really get at what's unsettling about Jewess/Negress, which has more to do with racism, alterity, and the droit de seigneur. The linguistic sexism is trivial; the loaded element is its implied subhuman sexualization of the object - as jaymc notes, it places her in a different species altogether (the oh-so-asking-for-it female counterpart of the leering, hooknosed Ashkenazi or the robust and rapacious Negro punished with death for daring to look a white woman in the eye.)
Let's ask JP Sartre! "There is in the words 'a beautiful Jewess' a very special sexual signification, one quite different from that contained in the words 'beautiful Rumanian,' 'beautiful Greek,' or 'beautiful American,' for example. This phrase carries an aura of rape and massacre..."
(Sarah Silverman is of course funny and fine. A little wax works wonders.)

I do think Lenny Bruce became MUCH less funny once weighed down with legal matters and smack, but arrests aside there was more derring-do in his approach than SS's, which seem on the 'meta' side (again, I haven't seen more than a few minutes of her).
On the non-hot side, one more "interesting but not-so-funny" view (he DOES think she challenges liberals, like Bruce):

Oh yes, incessant worrying. It took me weeks just to formulate my own opinion of her, let alone make assumptions about her own opinion of herself. Believe me, it is very time-consuming. Fortunately for me, my schedule is not bogged down with other-person's-ass.
