Mitt Romney on Imus Show St. Partick’s Day 2006 |
Mitt showing some pretty good timing in delivering the one-liners on the Imus in the Morning Show from a few years back.
This video is another reason I ain’t buying the “Romney’s delivery is too wooden schtick.”

When I read this article I was reminded of a quote of one of my favorite political humorists of a bygone era, Will Rodgers: “When I make a joke, it’s just a joke, but when Congress makes a joke, it’s the law.”

Here’s some political humor from an email sent to me by a friend. I thought you might get a chuckle out of it.
~~John Cronin~~
A woman, married three times, walked into a bridal shop one day and told the sales clerk that she was looking for a wedding gown for her fourth wedding. ‘Of course, madam,’ replied the sales clerk, ‘exactly what type and color are you looking for?’ The bride to be said: ‘A long frilly white dress with a veil.’ The sales clerk hesitated a bit, then said, ‘Please don’t take this the wrong way, but gowns of that nature are considered more appropriate for brides who are being married the first time - for those who are a bit more innocent, if you know what I mean? Perhaps ivory or sky blue would be nice?’ ‘Well,’ replied the customer, a little peeved at the clerk’s directness, ‘I can assure you that a white gown would be quite appropriate. Believe it or not, despite all my marriages, I remain as innocent as a first-time bride. You see, my first husband was so excited about our wedding, he died as we were checking into our hotel. My
second husband and I got into such a terrible fight in the limo on our way to our honeymoon that we had that wedding annulled immediately and never spoke to each other again.’ ‘What about your third husband?’ asked the sales clerk. ‘That one was a Democrat,’ said the woman, ‘and every night for four years, he just sat on the edge of the bed and told me how good it was going to be, but nothing ever happened.’

Quote of the Week
Once again, Ann Coulter’s humor:
~~John Cronin~~
“Perhaps in the spirit of compromise, Obama could agree to let Iran push only half of Israel into the sea. That would certainly constitute “change”! Obama could give one of those upbeat speeches of his, saying: ‘As a result of my recent talks with President Ahmadinejad, some see the state of Israel as being half empty. I prefer to see it as half full.’ And then Obama can return and tell Americans he could no more repudiate Ahmadinejad than he could repudiate his own white grandmother. It will make Chris Matthews’ leg tingle. ”

The Importance of Electing Al Franken |
Before you jump to the conclusion that I have taken leave of my sanity, please know that the above headline is meant entirely as humor, with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
I came across this article by the acclaimed political theorist, Alec Baldwin. So naturally, I had to devour every word. I very rarely venture into the dark world of leftist journalism and this piece reminds me why.
I’ve posted it only to have some fun at the Left’s expense. It is no wonder that those of on the right think that liberals must have come from another planet.

Coleman becoming a US Senator from that great state was a travesty. Now the time has come to correct that mistake. Coleman, who makes Mitt Romney look like a visionary, is so far from the best that state has to offer, it is unbelievable to imagine that he is even in the running for reelection. An uninformed and weak-willed apologist for this awful administration is being challenged by one of the best progressive minds of his generation. I don’t care how much ribald and salty humor he has dished out during is entertainment career. Judge Al Franken by what he stands as today: a searingly intelligent and abundantly caring son of Minnesota who has returned home to attempt to lend his voice to our nation’s political discourse on the most formal of levels. No blogging. No books. No comedy sketches. Putting his career and his opinions on the line on behalf of serving the people of Minnesota.
Voters of Minnesota, your choice could not be simpler. Coleman is a pathetic hack who will do as little as possible in a US Senate office other than cover his own a** [Editor's note: vulgarity deleted] and protect his power. Meanwhile, Al Franken is everything you could hope for in a candidate to represent your state in the world’s most august deliberative body. Smart, caring, brave. That’s the choice. Mitt Romney light. Or a return to someone special in the US Senate from the great state of Minnesota.
McCain Finds the Coffee in Little Havana Pretty Strong |
Saw this article this morning while I was enjoying a cup of coffee. Thought our readers might get a chuckle out of it.

MIAMI -
Republican John McCain’s “Straight Talk Express” bus took a little detour today, depositing McCain at a Cuban-American restaurant in Little Havana.
McCain, who likes to keep a cup of coffee at his side most of the time, decided to sample the espresso served up at Cafe Versailles, ordering a cup at a window for ordering items to go.
Taking a sip from the small ceramic cup, he must have found it a pretty strong brew. He pumped his fist as he tasted the coffee.“Do I have any enamel on my teeth?” he asked. “Delicious!”
Somebody in the crowd thought McCain should pick a vanquished Republican adversary, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, as his vice presidential running mate.“Romney for vice,” was one sign held up by people in the crowd.
Chris Matthews for Senator? |
As they say over on FREE REPUBLIC: Caution: Barf Alert!
Maybe he could pick Geraldo Rivera as his campaign manager. His candidacy might not play well in fly over country, but they would sew up the drama king vote.

Did you miss Chris Matthews’ guest appearance on Comedy Central’s “Colbert Report” last night?
Colbert grilled Matthews on whether or not he hopes to run for senator in 2010.
For his part, Matthews only said, “Some people growing up, some kids want to be a fireman. I want to be a senator.”
Al Qaeda Chief Slams Muslims for Lack of SupportApril 23rd, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Humor, Osama Bin Laden, Politics, Radical Islam, The War in Iraq

This post is meant partly as tongue-in-cheek humor. Aside from the fact that it is talking about a very serious subject, their is, I think, some humor in the phrase I have put in bold. It seems Al Qaeda has some of the same problems that Republican political activists have. Never enough volunteers or money.

Al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri criticised Muslims for failing to support Islamist insurgencies in Iraq and elsewhere in a new audiotape posted Tuesday on the Internet.
Osama bin Laden’s top lieutenant also blasted Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas over their reported readiness to consider a peace deal with Israel.“I call upon the Muslim nation to fear Allah’s question (at judgement day) about its failure to support its brothers of the Mujahedeen (holy Warriors), and (urge it) not to withhold men and money, which is the mainstay of a war,” he said.
