Democrat Humor
Some jokesters have put me on a number of left-wing mailing lists (as a progressive, environmentalist lesbian, why I am I so concerned about keeping my abortion rights?), and I've never bothered to unsubscribe because it gives me free material. Today, I got an e-mail from the official John Kerry for President website with an attempt at humor. Take a look-see: Subject: April Fools! Bush Tries to Outsource the Deficit First thing, notice how it makes clear it's an April Fools joke in both the subject line and in big letters at the end. Also, the whole thing is just regular anti-Bush disatribe with a few half-hearted attempts at jokes thrown in just so they can say it's an April Fools theme. That all together makes me think that they assume the Democrat base this will appeal to is nigh-retarded and humorless. Hell, I guess it might be an effective e-mailing. 22 Responses To "Democrat Humor"
FIRST! and death to Yoda #1 - Posted by: 655321 on April 1, 2004 05:33 PMThat was actually physically painful to read. I felt embarrassed for the author. At least "Those WMD gotta be around here somewhere" is a little edgy, if not particularly funny. This is just crap. My grandmother can write better humor pieces than that, and she's dead. But. We all know, somewhere on DU, this piece is being hailed as a masterpiece of contemporary political wit. These people must be stopped. #2 - Posted by: bstro on April 1, 2004 05:39 PM655321, not only have you pooped your pants, your disrespect for the galaxy's most powerful Jedi Master is disturbing. #4 - Posted by: The Half-Elven Commie Slayer on April 1, 2004 07:10 PMI know that I'm a knuckle dragging conservative with undevolped frontal lobes, but was there a joke in the someplace in there? This email is as uncomfortably unfunny as watching some oldster try to be "hip" and "with it" on an MTV Rock the Vote special. Oh yeah, Kerry did that, too. #6 - Posted by: Merrijane on April 1, 2004 07:16 PMI have seen some unfunny April Fool's Day jokes, but that is one of the worst. I liked yours much better. You almost had me thinking you meant it, until I remembered the date halfway through. #7 - Posted by: Ann on April 1, 2004 07:22 PMI think Kerry's medicine for his prostate problem are making him woozy. (google to see Kerry's prostate was removed last year) By the way if your prostate is removed, doesn't that make you impotent? Great president we will have. The French have loverboy Chirac for president and we'll have a Eunuch. #8 - Posted by: Ricky Vandal on April 1, 2004 07:23 PMHere's another unfunny April Fool's joke from another liberal group--Planned Parenthood: http://www.saveroe.com/whitehouse/ Bitter people. #9 - Posted by: Merrijane on April 1, 2004 07:39 PM It`s a fund raising pitch. $25? That`s it? It reminds me of a chain letter "send this email to five friends now." Correct me if I am wrong but aren't chain letters illeagle? #11 - Posted by: Gerrick on April 1, 2004 08:19 PMHey...I can be a Democrat too! Observe: April Fools! Bush is teh st00pid. APRIL FOOLS!!! #12 - Posted by: on April 1, 2004 08:22 PMMy favorite part: "Let's show him we know better -- send this email to five friends now." -- Democrats, the ultimate chain mail believers. Send this to five of your friends, then turn around in a circle 8 times, chant the name of the boy you like and then in 10 days you'll get lots of money! But if you don't you'll be doomed bad luck forever! There's a fine line between parody and childish spite. Frank J manages to keep in the parody zone, even with politicians he doesn't like. This sad attempt at an April Fool's joke... is just childish and rather spiteful. #14 - Posted by: Patrick Chester on April 1, 2004 09:05 PMKerry Has Plan to Fund his Policies Without Raising Taxes Senator John Kerry outlined his plan today to fund his high cost policies without raising taxes. "Americans, except for Benedict Arnold CEOs, should all enjoy the privilege of waiting in long lines for free but poor-quality healthcare and welfare checks." Kerry stated. "But why should the common man pay for it? This year, Benedict Arnold Fortune 500 companies brought in over 1 trillion dollars in New York. If we can tax them at 100%, as well as all those other job-outsourcing Benedict Arnold companies, we will have the money to pay for my 1.7 trillion dollar spending plan." When asked if the Heinz ketchup company, who has outsourced jobs, would be taxed at this rate, Kerry stated that he would tax them, but after a moment’s thought he changed his mind. Oh yeah, and April Fools See, that's the point. Democrats have no sense of humor. To them, this is probably the funniest thing they'd bother with. #16 - Posted by: Taron W on April 1, 2004 09:29 PMIn other news today Hilary clinton backs John Kerry's plan to raise Gas taxes 50 cents. When John Kerry was asked about this, he stated "i have no comment i never suggested this, Hillary Clinton has stepped too far." The ultimate Dem April Fools joke would be Kerry takeing a stand on something, then not backing off of it a few hours later. #18 - Posted by: Monster Kabasue on April 2, 2004 01:33 AMActually, outsourcing a national deficit has a long and honorable history. It's called "pillage"... #19 - Posted by: Richard McEnroe on April 2, 2004 02:56 AMThis email is the same reason why "Air America" (liberal talk radio) won't work. Democrats have no sense of humor, well maybe just a REALLY lame sense of humor. Al Franken is not funny, I watched SNL quite a few times (shoot, did I just admit that?) when he was still writing for the show, and it just wasn't funny. I thought I just didn't get the jokes, but then I thought about all the times I had laughed at funny things, and said to myself, "Self, SNL just ain't funny". Want's the worst thing for a comedian to be? Yep, not funny. #20 - Posted by: Darin on April 2, 2004 10:03 AM
Actually, I don't recall being "officially annointed", as the conference hasn't convened and named him as such. So - technically - that note has a lie in it too. #21 - Posted by: _Jon on April 2, 2004 01:43 PMEver notice how art only flourishes in capitalistic countries? And yet most artists are socialists. Guess the same goes for jokes. #22 - Posted by: Mob_Triggerman on April 4, 2004 04:01 PMPost a comment
