Here, in one attendee’s assessment, are the six best jokes in the night’s speeches:

1. “If I did not love America, I wouldn’t have moved here from Kenya.” –Obama, on Rudy Giuliani’s claim that he doesn’t “love America”

2. “That’s gravity for you, or as Scott Walker calls it, ‘the theory of gravity.'” –McAuliffe on his own recent fall from a horse, referencing Walker’s refusal to say if he believed in evolution

3. “Just a few years ago…I was the young tech-savvy candidate of the future. Now I’m yesterday’s news, and Hillary’s got a server in her house. I didn’t even know you could have one of those. I am so far behind.” –Obama on the Hillary Clinton email controversy

4. “Pretty soon, the only person reporting to Valerie Jarrett will be President Obama.” –Walker on the number of staffers leaving the White House

5. “Bill O’Reilly tried to be here, but he was pinned down by enemy fire.” –McAuliffe, adding that O’Reilly’s ride to the event was supposed to be Brian Williams

6. “I want to acknowledge the leader of the House Republicans, as soon as I figure out who that is.” –Obama on Speaker John Boehner’s recent challenges

1. The biggest joke in Washington?

Republicans.

[calimary]

4. They are indeed. They're an endless supply of joke fodder.

Endless. That's the ONE thing about which they are reliable and consistent. That's the ONLY thing about which they are reliable and consistent: you can count on them acting stupidly and behaving irresponsibly.

6. As Bill Mahr says, as an American he wants the Republicans voted out of office.

But as a comedian, he is better off when they are in office.

8. These are excellent, although Walker's is kind of stupid.

He doesn't quite have the knack, I think.

9. Republicans have poor senses of humor.

Most attempts at humor are just cruelty.

10. ZING! #6.. I see "Walker" had a lame writer. mahalo namastea

[GoCubsGo]

11. Yep, pretty stupid.

If that was one of the "Top 6", then that was a pretty lame dinner.

[Cha]

12. Not necessarily GCG.. I think Pres Obama's were Zingers and needed to be said.. very current against

gop.

But, naturally Walker's would be lame because that's who he is.

[GoCubsGo]

16. I thought the others were good.

I just find it hard to believe Walker's was in the Top 6. Makes me think they put it there because they were afraid to look biased.

[Cha]

17. Yeah, whomever at Time should have left Walker's on the cutting room floor..
