Why has it taken me so long to add Jim Treacher to my reader? To get to the other side. No? Better let the experts write the jokes:
Last night, President Obama debuted his standup comedy act on the Tonight Show. You've heard his hilarious wisecracks about the Special Olympics and "waterheads," and here are a few of his other witticisms:
oh I thought the No Respect link was gunna lead
to Rockin Rodney Dangerfield.
Rickles is an OK 2nd prize.
I just read (in April Vanity Fair) that James Caan based his Godfather movie schtick on Rickles mannerisms.
I didn't think Obama's comparing his bowling standard to special olympics level was offensive.
SPECIAL Olympics, ie "lucky they can do it at all" - the USA is an overly-sensitive Nation In Denial on so many issues.
Treacher sounds like he WRITES for the Leno oBrienMan shows. Thanks anyway TT, for another site to waste away the day on.
