"Comics are whining that they can&amp;#x27;t figure out a way to tell a joke about Obama. The New Yorker got pwned earlier this week over its attempt to make light of the really nasty rumors that are circulating about him. All this talk of fallen humor and flat humor has made me wonder about Obama&amp;#x27;s opponent: and as it turns out, John McCain&amp;#x27;s &amp;amp;quot;sense of humor&amp;amp;quot; is really, really not funny. It&amp;#x27;s just one more example of how this guy&amp;#x27;s real personality, outside of the &amp;amp;quot;war hero&amp;amp;quot; myth, is something that his handlers are trying to hold back. They&amp;#x27;ve been helped out by the media, which still doesn&amp;#x27;t bother covering McCain. So I&amp;#x27;m more than happy to shine a light on how disturbing this man&amp;#x27;s &amp;amp;quot;sense of humor&amp;amp;quot; really is. Are you a woman? Duck! Here&amp;#x27;s what McCain thinks about you: &amp;amp;quot;The French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the 1940s who is still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn&amp;#x27;t have the face for it.&amp;amp;quot; - McCain on foreign policy. &amp;amp;quot;Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno.&amp;amp;quot; - McCain on the White House occupants in 1998 &amp;amp;quot;And I just stopped beating my wife a couple of weeks ago.&amp;amp;quot; - McCain on the press line earlier this year And the worst one of all, still being contested by the campaign but reported in the Tucson paper in 1986: &amp;amp;quot;&amp;amp;quot;Did you hear the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die? When she finally regains consciousness and tries to speak, her doctor leans over to hear her sigh contently and to feebly ask, &amp;#x27;Where is that marvelous ape?&amp;#x27;&amp;amp;quot; Laughing yet? Yeah, I didn&amp;#x27;t think so. Consider how great it would be to be an Iranian on the receiving end of McCain&amp;#x27;s humor: &amp;amp;quot;Maybe that&amp;#x27;s a way of killing them.&amp;amp;quot; - McCain, upon learning that cigarettes are one of the U.S.&amp;#x27;s biggest exports to Iran. The Iranians don&amp;#x27;t find genocide jokes funny and let him know. But I&amp;#x27;m sure that, to McCain, they&amp;#x27;re a bunch of whiners just like the American public is. Clearly, McCain needs to leave the humor to Colbert. His idea of what&amp;#x27;s funny is making me cry. What do you think about McCain&amp;#x27;s humor? And why is everyone having so much trouble making jokes these days, anyway? &amp;amp;#8212;Caille"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
