Tigerhawk: “He’s still having fun”

Via Tigerhawk:

Well, there’s that. And McCain has good comic timing.

Ann Althouse talks about the comedy and Obama. It seems like comedians are afraid to spoof Obama or his wife. There is the racial sensitivity thing. But man the topic is ripe for the picking. And, in some ways, I think there is a sort of reverse-racism involved. If a candidate would be spoofed and he or she is white, but comedians won’t spoof Obama because he’s black…that’s racist.

    Ann Althouse: They DID spoof Obama and Michelle on SNL! Didn’t you see it on SNL. they had michell and Obama doing a variety show, and they also spoof obama doing a debate.

    Please do a little research before you make a remark.

    Yes Sarah, they have spoofed Obama, but not nearly as often as they’ve taken shots at McCain and Palin. Face it – the Obamas don’t have half the sense of humor or self deprecation of the GOP candidates.
