Obama Fair Game

Obama Fair Game

After the presidential inauguration, the TV comedians (the comediocrats) declared that the kid glove pass that they gave President Obama during the election campaign is over. They all figure that the public response to him, which resembles a sedative on serotonin, will wear off sometime during the year and if they can’t make jokes about the president, no matter who he is, they will be deprived of their late night livelihood. They can’t make jokes about McCain anymore because he’ll probably just go back to schlepping cases of beer off the delivery truck for his wife and what’s funny about that. The comediocrats don’t realize that they were just like mortgage brokers selling sub-prime loans while George W. Bush was in office giving them joke material and the glory days are over. Even newspaper writers are not planning on giving Obama any more breaks. If, as president, Obama pulls everything off as perfectly as he thinks he will, the comediocrats are in a heap of trouble because of a lack of material and could be facing massive layoffs. We can expect to see unemployed comediocrats at stop lights with a cardboard sign saying, “Will tell a joke for food.”
