Would someone please let me know when the moratorium on making fun of President Huggy Bear (or Shaft, or Link from The Mod Squad I still have yet to decide) is over? I have a lot of material to get of my chest. Sooner or later this guy is going to need to be knocked off his pedestal. So far though he still seems to be off limits. Since he was elected I have yet to hear one joke from the late night shows or any other comedian. What is going on? Is this man some kind of sacred cow that cannot be touched? please don't tell me they think they are going to get 4 years of mileage out of Bush/McCain/Palin jokes. It reminds me of the Muslims who want to behead people for any mention of Muhammad. No matter what you may think of the man, messiah, savior, the one, he is still just a politician. Which means he is a few links lower than a child rapist on the food chain of life. Or, are they scared? After the whole Imus fiasco of 2007, the last thing, Letterman, Leno, or Stewart want is to have to kiss the bare asses of Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton on live TV.
More importantly, will the subjects be able to tell the emperor that he wears no clothes? When he does fuck up will the media report it? Or is this guy gonna get a free pass for the next four years? So far it's looking like it's gonna be a long honeymoon. But sooner or later, we are gonna have to pull out, wipe up, rip the bag off her head, and look the girl we picked up at closing time at the bar in the eye. And her taxi is not showing up for 4 more years. And guys as we all know this can be awkward.

You should check out Maher. He's not afraid to go there with the blacks. It was part of his his "New Rules" segment a couple weeks ago. Stewart's been pretty good lately, too.
As far as making fun of Obama goes.....the line starts behind me! I have 8 years of Bush jokes to insert Obamas name in and could care less about being called a racist.
As for stewart, and his kind, it seems that comedy to them has reverted to just making fun of people who live in what is refered to as "fly over country". It's as if the MSM see's the election of Obama as a refferemdem to just mock the 50% of us that understand that socialisim is will be detramental to this country.
I am way late with this comment, but I have to mention that the economy is so terrible that the president is moving into government housing! I hope as forward thinking educated and democratic people the Obama's will finally address the issue of slavery in an honest manner and go ahead and embrace the notion that my friend Evans put so eloquently, "It was the only time in history that blacks enjoyed 100% employment". Yes it's true, Maher and Stewart would get nervous with me around, I love to love everybody and hate everybody just the same. :)
By the way - I should have mentioned that I love Obama or at least the notion of what I think he stands for. I voted for him and so did John and I was excited to vote for the first time in my life. But that doesn't mean I don't think there are some killer jokes 50 years in the making. I could on for thirty minutes about those ears AND he's black! Damn double whammy - that he lived through middle school makes him a tough dude. Harvard Law Review. So we have our first mixed half muslim, part radical, yankee, young democratic president. I could only be more proud if he were transgendered, amputeed and a Navy Veteran with a ragging case of herpees he got from a midget in a porn movie...but maybe next election! John McCain is a great guy but PTSD and the little red button don't go together. How many 70+ year olds would you let babysit or drive your car or manage your checkbook, really? I am rambling. It happens. Sorry.
