There are few tasks that are a more tedious, excruciating ass-ache than writing jokes -- one of them is writing jokes suitable for a political event and then listening to said jokes be delivered by a helmet-headed snapperhead who didn't take more than three seconds to "review the remarks" and who on his best day has the timing and delivery of an encephalitic 86-year-old coroner telling an orphan his parents fell into a poorly-maintained tree shredder.

Still not as cringe-inducing as a singing starship captain

Link is farked, but it better include Mitt Romney singing "Who Let The Dogs Out" and barking in front of a group of black teenagers.

None of W but then I suppose it is a list of politicians trying to be funny.

The first Obama one wasn't bad. The Thatcher one was awesome!

sadly, once elected he will no longer be funny.

A little known fact is once a politician is elected both the humor and common sense portion of the brain is removed.

/Thats the joke

My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.

Who could forget, of course, hilarious jokes like this one from George W. Bush (warning: graphic)?

Sometimes Obama has great material and delivers it well -- his dig at Boehner's complexion at his first White House Correspondents' Association dinner is a perfect example -- but that little "damn I'm funny" nod and chuckle thing of his drives me up a friggin' wall. He needs to stop it.

W. Bush used to do the same thing, with lousier material. His ad libs were better than his scripted jokes. Maybe that's true for almost everyone...

That was pretty good. At the time I first saw it (on the internet), I hadn't heard of the Correspondent's Dinner, so I was really puzzled about why that video was made.

Arlen Specter went out and did a few comedy routines, believe it or not. I haven't the courage to google them but I'm sure they're out there, somewhere.
