Political Humor

Humor

Just in case you missed it... Here it is. The Political Humor of Jon Stewart from the Oscar February 25th.

Jon Stewart worked a little political humor into his opening monologue at the Academy Awards. Here's a rundown of Stewart's political zingers from Oscar night:

"Julie Christie was absolutely amazing in Away From Her. Brilliant movie. It was the moving story of a woman who forgets her own husband. Hillary Clinton calls it the feel good movie of the year."

"Not all films did as well as Juno obviously. The films that were made about the Iraq war, let's face it, did not do as well. But I'm telling you, if we stay the course and keep these movies in the theatres we can turn this around. I don't care if it takes 100 years. Withdrawing the Iraq movies would only embolden the audience. We cannot let the audience win."

"Oscar is 80 this year, which makes him now automatically the frontrunner for the Republican nomination."

"You have to admit, this is a huge election. An historic election. So much excitement. For the first time in so many years we don't have an incumbent president or an incumbent vice-president. The field is wide open. Have you all had a chance to examine all the candidates, study their positions and pick the Democrat you'll vote for?"

"Democrats do have an historic race going. Hillary Clinton vs Barack Obama. Normally, when you see a black man or a woman president an asteroid is about to hit the Statue of Liberty. How will we know it's the future? Silver unitards, that can't be all?"

"You have to give Barack Obama credit, he's overcome a great deal. Not just he's an African-American. Barack Hussein Obama is his name. His middle name is the last name of Iraq's former tyrant. His last name rhymes with Osama. That's not easy to overcome. I think we all remember the ill-fated 1944 presidential campaign of Gaydolf Titler. It's just a shame, Titler had so many good ideas. We just couldn't get past the name. And the moustache."

So... This is from Political Humor.com

I'm not really a political person... But as I recall.... This is NOT the exact thing that he said... it's a Political Exerpt that they want to Print.

Do you remember his mentioning something about "Boy does he have a lot to live up to. Living with the first name of someone we can't find and his middle name Hussein, who we found hiding in a hole in the ground.

They somehow forgot to print or playback that part. Don't quote me, as this is just from memory, I don't have Tivo. I'm sure someone will put it on YouTube.com.

I don't like politics, but I do think this is amazing that a Black man and a White woman are running for president. Wouldn't it be nice if they could team up and be, both Vice President and President? How kewl would that be?

I just pray that the best person wins and makes peace with the world.
