A recent study found that
Jay Leno and
Dave Letterman make more fun of Republicans than Democrats by a 7-to-1 margin. Here is my humble attempt to give them some material to even the score.
Campaigning is tough and it is hard to avoid making gaffes when you spend all day everyday talking to the public. For example, a few months ago, Barack Obama commented that he planned on campaigning in all 57 states. It may just be a coincidence, but shortly after that, Obama was invited to be a celebrity contestant on the TV game show "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" He turned them down.
And then last week,
Joe Biden said "This election is about a three-letter word: Jobs. J-O-B- S. Jobs." When Pres. Bush heard about Senator Biden's statement, he said "Hey, Joe might be qualified to be President after all." Someone told
Dan Quayle about it. Do you remember Dan Quayle? He was the Vice President under the first President Bush who got into trouble because he couldn't spell potato correctly. When he heard about Biden's comment he said, "I have another three-letter word that describes Joe Biden - dumb - D U M - dumb!" We asked Biden if he had any comments on his gaffe, and he issued a statement. We would read it on the air but we can't because it is full of three-letter words.
All of this confusion about numbers has me a little worried. In the last debate,
McCain asked
Obama how he planned to pay for all of the new programs he was proposing. Obama's answer was that "Senator Biden and I have looked closely at all of the numbers and we can assure you that we will be able to implement these programs and still be able to reduce taxes on 95% of working Americans." Oh! They have looked at all of the numbers? I hope none of them involve a 3 or 57!
Recently, Iran's president
Ahmadinejad, said he would be willing to meet with the next US president on two conditions. First, we would have to lift all economic sanctions on Iran and second, the US would have to stop supporting Israel. Obama said "Now do you see why I wanted to meet with him without any preconditions?"
Did you see that Obama campaigned at an elementary school? One of the students asked him why he was running for President. He told them being President wasn't his first choice. He had applied for a job at McDonald's last summer but they told him he needed more experience.
McCain has consistently attacked Obama for his lack of experience, but did you see where in the last debate he said Obama was too YOUNG to be President? I was waiting for Obama's answer but he had already left the debate because it was past his bedtime.
Michael Moore has a new movie out. It is called "I May Be Stupid, But America Is Even Stupider." Obama was going to see it but it is rated R and his mom was out of town.
Then at a campaign rally, Joe Biden was introducing the various special guests and when he introduced the local state assemblyman. He said "Stand up Joe!" The only problem is that Joe is confined to a wheelchair, so he can't stand up. It was an embarrassing moment for Senator Biden. It's too bad Barack Obama wasn't there. He could have raised his hands and commanded him to stand up!
(cue music) Well, we have a great show tonight. To get ready for the election we have asked
Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, the Pope and the Dalai Lama to represent the Democrats. And we don't want to be accused of bias, so we have invited David Duke to represent the Republicans!
