"Every once in a while, following this election for a living can make my stomach turn. This was a particularly bad week for that, with threats on Barack Obama&amp;#x27;s life and the sordid revelation of John Edwards&amp;#x27; failure to keep it in his pants. But more often than not, I get the feeling both of these campaigns are having a pretty good time. You know the McCain folks giggled when they came up with the idea of distributing tire pressure gauges to reporters, and using Moses in the ad was pretty clever. (Note that the Moses segment features Republican Charlton Heston as the prophet.) Some of the Obama campaign statements read like a stand-up routine&amp;amp;#8212;he himself could barely keep a straight face when he said last week, &amp;quot;John McCain keeps saying &amp;#x27;Drill here! Drill now!&amp;#x27; I want to know where he&amp;#x27;s standing.&amp;quot; And I think it goes without saying that the Paris Hilton video is nothing short of brilliant. I am not trying to belittle the office of the president. Believe me, I would not be devoting my professional life to this election if I didn&amp;#x27;t think the stakes were vital. But I would also never survive it if it weren&amp;#x27;t at least a little fun. A few of my favorite sources of irreverence: 23/6, especially the &amp;quot;Hillary&amp;#x27;s Cookies&amp;quot; video; Extreme Mortman&amp;amp;#8212;gotta love a guy who goes for the hokey pun in a world of pseudo-sophisticated snark; and the ongoing telenovela PSA at VotoLatino.org. Has anything in this campaign made you laugh? &amp;amp;#8212;Rebecca"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
