Whom Did Obama Kill At The White House Correspondents Dinner Last Night?
Jeez, give Wonkette commenters weekend posting, and all of a sudden they think you are never supposed to leave the house on a Saturday night again. HERE. HERE is your Happy Christmas Warrior In Chief cracking wise at the WHCD last night. NO, we didn't liveblog it. We have to go out and get laid sometime . [ Youtube ]
I think it's easier to accept Tiger's horndogginess because we know that his ex and kids are pretty well taken care of.
I have a comment downstream, but I'll reprise the main point here.
Yes, it was blunt and, arguably, offensive. It was also funny, as in: unexpected, contrary to reason, out of sequence, slightly offensive to common beliefs.
Argument in favor: the amount of background noise that followed the "pit bull" joke. This is never again going to be a serious "issue". It's a joke.
Argument against: I, personally, would have been absolutely delighted to deliver that joke. I am an abysmally bad politician.
Rebuttal to argument against: Barack Obama is not an abysmally bad politician.
