No Obama Jokes Allowed. He's A "Transcendent Historical Symbol of Black Achievement."

Those late night comedians (Letterman, Leno, Stewart, and company) who used George W. Bush for their basic material night after night?

They have no jokes whatsoever about the new President.

Indeed, they are not only still bashing Bush in their routines but have even criticized those who have dared to laugh at our bumbling new president.

Are these comedians that far out on the left or are they merely, as Christian Toto in this Washington Times article wonders, "deferring to the sensitivities of audiences who aren't ready to a laugh at a president who's not just a political leader but a transcendent historical symbol of black achievement?"
