Punchline in Chief; Comedians should relearn the art of mocking a Democratic president

 National Review

"The incoming president of the United States is a hair-sniffing malarkey farmer who has as much business hosting Tales from the Crypt as he does a state dinner. Perhaps the nation’s comedians ought to say so?"

"That such a charge should be necessary in a free country is evidence of the extent to which progressives have come to control most thought. In 1992, Saturday Night Live’s famous McDonald’s sketch could, without letting down the side, portray President-elect Bill Clinton as a gluttonous womanizer. (“There’s gonna be a whole bunch of things we don’t tell Mrs. Clinton,” a fry-stealing Phil Hartman boasted to an aide.) Today, one is as likely to hear a quip about vegetable RNA as about the man who will soon occupy the White House. According to a recent study by George Mason University’s Center for Media and Public Affairs, the month of September saw a predictable surfeit of political jokes on the late-night programs of Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert. Of the jibes in question, 455 were directed at President Trump. A mere 14 concerned his electoral opponent. 

"The problem is not, it should be clear, that Joe Biden is too serious a man to provide grist for the comedy mills. A two-bit hack with a one-bit brain, the new president has a certain low cunning but can’t remember where he put it. Like the iceberg that sank the Titanic, Biden has made a career of being in the right place at the right time. So absurd a figure is our future leader, in fact, that the nation’s jokesters should be throwing whoopee cushions into volcanoes to thank the humor gods. That they aren’t sheds light on a tacit arrangement that is both obnoxious and detrimental to the country: Democrats, no matter how foolish, must never be made into punchlines."

. . . "Though the possibilities for Biden-related humor are endless, fully developed jokes about the incoming head of state can be divided into several distinct categories:"  Outline here; more detail in the article:

Biden is old...

Biden is confused...

Biden is inappropriate...

Combinations thereof. Biden has a plan to win the War of 1812. He has put his hand up many a poodle skirt.

But Obama; now there's a President!

2009: Letterman writer: Obama 'too competent' to make jokes about  . . . "Newsbusters Brent Baker was following the goings on at a comedy writers' panel that took place in Washington recently that featured Letterman joke writer Bill Scheft who had this to say about why Obama is getting a pass from late night shows:

It's not because he's black and it's not because we're afraid. It's just that he's, just so far, just a little too damn competent and we ain't used to that. [multiple panelists say "yeah."]

Beware Mitt's Snits.

Mitt Romney's Trump-hatred is starting to look demonic  "Mitt Romney's singular focus in opposing President Donald Trump is eerie.  

"Is it revenge, as President Trump passed on him for secretary of state, or do we see his fight as more sinister still?

"Yesterday, Mitt Romney blasted Josh Hawley, who has stated that he will challenge the electors sent to Congress on January sixth.  Josh Hawley and countless other congressmen and senators are concerned with myriad reports, signed affidavits, video evidence, data dumps, statistic improbabilities, and hacked Dominion tabulating machines strongly suggesting that massive fraud occurred in the 2020 presidential election.

"If one has watched any of the televised testimony or read any reports, it is evident that a possibility exists that mass fraud occurred.  To date, none of this evidence has been given the scrutiny necessary to confirm affirmatively and transparently that Joe Biden legitimately beat Donald Trump.  Democrats are doing everything in their power to suppress this scrutiny.  Sadly, many Republicans, led by Mitt Romney, have worked tirelessly to hide evidence under a basket.

"In September, Mitt Romney blasted GOP senator Ron Johnson and Senate Republicans for their "illegitimate" investigation into Hunter Biden and his ties to China and Ukraine.  Today, after the election, Democrats and their sycophantic media and Big Tech have affirmed the legitimacy of this investigation.  Has Mitt apologized to Mr. Johnson or the American people?

"Does Mitt believe himself a god?*

"Mitt Romney's actions come off as holier than thou.  Does Mitt believe in his own self-righteousness?  Has he attained (in his mind) godlike qualities here on Earth?  Or is he, like the rest of the swamp (and Judas), just working to conceal his own sins?" . . .

Mitt Romney Flips out Over Josh Hawley Standing up in Senate Electoral College Fight, Mark Levin Lets Him Have It   . . . "Breitbart News reports that on New Year’s Day, Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) took to CNN’s airwaves, which has lately become a cozy perch where nominal Republicans like him seem to let loose in calling fellow Republicans, including Pres. Trump, “dangerous” to the nation. And he didn’t disappoint the NeverTrump gang with his performance this time." . . .

"So please, Sen. Romney. Spare us your tears for the demise of the Republic. We know your game well."

Very Disturbing Allegations Surface Over Warnock and a Church Camp

Todd Starnes

"Sen. Kelly Loeffler seized on an explosive story Monday that included an interview with a man who said he was 12 years old when he was abused at a church camp that was overseen by Rev. Raphael Warnock, who she is facing in a runoff election that will determine what party controls the Senate.

. . . 

"The Washington Free Beacon interviewed Anthony Washington, now 30, who said that in 2002, counselors at Camp Farthest Out would toss urine on him and lock him outside his cabin during entire nights.  He told the paper that he sued and settled with the camp a few years later.  The paper said Washington seemed surprised that Warnock was a viable candidate for the U.S. Senate and said, “I don’t think nobody like [Warnock] should be running for damn Senate nowhere, running a camp like that. He should not be running for government.' ” . . .
