Default Political Humor

Since there is a thread about the Daily Show/Colbert Report and JibJab's new cartoon, I figured we could start a general Humor thread.

If you find a comedian's bit or a funny bit of satire about this campaign season share it.

Please note, this isn't meant to be a "Look what McCain/Obama said! I can't believe he said that! That is so stupid it's funny!" thread.

Well, apparently the first bit o' funny here is that I can't spell Political in the thread title right.

I'm not sure if every one has already heard these, but I'd figured I'd share.
23/6 has put out some really funny "McCain Voicemails".

First one is to Palin when he picked her as VP:

The second one is to a staff writer for the New York Times:

Thanks, Badger. I just bookmarked that.

One of the strips in there is put out by Matt Bors. His strips are normally pretty funny.

bwahahaha. My first career goal was to be an editorial cartoonist. I even won a national award for it in highschool.

I did a few back in high school myself. Even got a few put into some papers. Didn't get an award though, you bastard!

A book just came out from Harvard Press about the effect of late night comedy on politics. It's called "Strange Bedfellows." It draws a good distinction between comedy that uses politics as a setup but doesn't have an agenda, and comedy that is trying to make a point. Might be a good read.
