Obama Releases List of Approved Jokes About Himself
Bid to Help Late Night Comics
Saying he is "sympathetic to late night comedians' struggle to find
jokes to make about me," Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) today issued a
list of official campaign-approved Barack Obama jokes.
The five jokes, which Sen. Obama said he is making available to all
comedians free of charge, are as follows:
#1 Barack Obama and a kangaroo pull up to a gas station. The gas
station attendant takes one look at the kangaroo and says, "You
know, we don't get many kangaroos here." Barack Obama replies, "At
these prices, I'm not surprised. That's why we need to reduce our
dependence on foreign oil."
#2 A traveling salesman knocks on the door of a farmhouse, and much
to his surprise, Barack Obama answers the door. The salesman says,
"I was expecting the farmer's daughter." Barack Obama replies,
"She's not here. The farm was foreclosed on because of subprime
loans that are making a mockery of the American Dream."
[other 3, in a similar vein, are at the link above. No word yet on
whether they will be turned into New Yorker cartoons.]
