I Heard it Downtown

From the “political humor has a liberal bias department”…

To me, this seems almost like a challenge. Sure, the past 8 years have made poking fun at Republicans waaaaay too easy, but that doesn’t mean that Obama should get a free pass. If late-night hosts are looking for some sort of comedic narrative, I would suggest going after the very thrust of his whole campaign…the focus on hope and change. It isn’t that hard for a comedic professional (of I which I am NOT), to take that to some comedic absurd level….Barack Obama ordering Chinese food or something, or hoping to change all bad things. Certainly he shouldn’t be defined by just his race, which may be a bit taboo for late-night audiences (although the Bill Maher joke at the end of the article is great).

Or maybe not.
