Now this is interesting. Yesterday the Hillary Clinton campaign was pilloried in the press after it issued a press release that attacked Barack Obama for claiming he wasn't running for President in order to fulfill a life-long ambition. In a widely mocked move, the Hillary camp cited the fact that he had written that he wanted to run for President way back in kindergarten and in the third grade.

This morning, Hillary adviser Mark Penn went on MSNBC's Morning Joe to explain that the release was all just a big joke. "Oh, that is so silly," Penn said, claiming to be amazed that anyone actually took it seriously as a real attack:

She, Bush and Kerry should get together to form a botched comedy club! Just imagine all the comedy routines they'd have!

George Bush can do insult comedy, degrading the blind for wearing sunglasses!
Hillary Clinton can do deadpan, because she was born without a sense of humor!
John Kerry can also do insult comedy, against the troops!

What's with all these presidential candidates can't even do a simple joke right?

I mean, even monotone Al Gore had the freaking frog joke! Even if it came six years too late, at least he's competent enough to not screw it up. (Barack has a good sense of humor too, but of course I'm going to say that)

Anyone else notice that the hardcore Obama supporters have the worst grammar and an invisable grasp of the english language?

I'm just sayin'

This is another lie. They were not joking about this. As soon as they seen the pole number dropping they pulled back. Hillary and her gang are so petty. She wants to be president playing jokes!!!!!! These are serious time folks. What's going on. People are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our country is at war!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoever wrote that missed a central part of joke writing: Something about the joke needs to be funny. I didn't know the writers strike applied to political campaigns.

Yeah they 'Joked' about it in an otherwise serious press release? Right. I'm sure they'd have wasted resources on a bad joke that would have been making fun of themselves. Brilliant.
