...to take myself down a few pegs. I asked, 'After the first four years how many pegs are left?'

He would have been better off offering me $100,000,000 to drop out of the race.

Talked about History Channel's depiction of Satan as him. Did a pointed jab at Fox News.

Well, after he's Prez he could have a whole new career doing political stand up comedy.

I think we will hear it a lot over the next few days. It was the best line of the speech.

I imagine we'll be seeing and hearing it as a lead-in or lead-out on MANY shows from now on.

I laughed out loud, quite a few times! I LOVED the bit about John Kerry being played by one of those Easter Island statues!

HILARIOUS!!!! And that whole series of jokes was even better as sight gags because of the photos chosen. Same facial expressions, same tilts of head or direction the eyes are looking. The slide producers did a VERY good job! And they found something just as funny for mitch mcconnell - other than the obvious Ninja Turtle or something. They went for Dame Edna! OMG!!!!!

I think the confabulating of Hollywood and D.C. is unseemly, though. I don't know why...maybe it's the glamor aspect. Things are not good in America and yeah yeah let them have their fun.

Just sayin'
