Peaceful comedy transition, too

“I thought Obama gave a great speech. But I think he may have promised too much, like when he promised to bring the dog from the ‘Marley & Me’ movie back to life. That seemed over the top to me.” – Jay Leno
“Officials at the White House say that President Bush completed his last piece of official business in the Oval Office at 6 a.m. (Tuesday) morning. Yep. Bush says it should take Obama weeks to find where he hid the dead fish.” – Conan O’Brien
“They estimate that around 2 million people crowded in to the National Mall to see Obama’s swearing-in ceremony, which is the first time a mall has been crowded in about a year.” – Jimmy Kimmel

    Let’s just hope that Obama doesn’t provide the wealth of comedy fodder in the next 8 years that Bush did during the last 8. I don’t need to laugh THAT much.

    As long as there are CONs we’ll have plenty to laugh at.

    We’ll laugh ’til we cry.

    Don’t worry about it, Mary, Obama’s already sent loud and clear signals to the news and entertainment industries that he’ll freeze ‘em out if they cross him. Ask Maureen Dowd and Jon Meacham about questioning the Egotist in Chief.

    And who knows, ala Bill & Hill, he now has IRS auditors at his disposal.
