Not being a late night TV viewer, I was unaware that there's a bit of a breakthrough taking place -- people are beginning to laugh at Barack Obama. Here's just a couple of my favorites listed by the Telegraph in this article.
Jimmy Kimmel -- "They really love Barack Obama in Germany. He's like a rock star over there. Impressive until you realise that David Hasselhoff is also like a rock star over there."
Jay Leno: "Of course, Obama's supporters got him his usual birthday gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh."
Jay Leno: "See Barack Obama on the news? He's becoming a workout fanatic. He's at the gym, like, twice a day, sometimes three times a day at the gym, yeah, according to his staff. Well, he has to stay in shape to do those flip-flops."
Granted, these guys are still making a lot more jokes about John McCain than they are about The Anointed One. But every little bit helps. And, who knows, once the laughter starts on a fellow as pretentious, as inconsistent, and as gaffe-prone as Barack Obama, it may be hard to stop.
