Perfectly Hilarious
Jay at Wizbang!
discusses the virtues in having a President who says funny things, and doesn't take himself too seriously.
Has anyone, by the way, tried to parse out what Bush actually meant when he committed his latest gaffe? I believe that instead of OB-GYNs practicing "their love of women," he meant something like "practice the work they love," and got snarled up as usual. But Jay's right: Kerry's idea of self-deprecating humor is to discuss his hair, and when you reduce those jokes down, they essentially mean, "yes, I do have great hair." There's nothing self-deprecating about it. No humility in this man.
"Isn't it funny that I'm perfect?"
"Well, a) no; and b) you aren't."

We don't expect or want our President to be a stand-up comedian. Bush saying funny things isn't because he's doing it on purpose, it's because without his staff writers and careful instructions on speech-making he repeatedly shows himself as a mediocre - if not outright incompetent - President.
Kerry, at least, can stand up and make an impromptu speech without cue cards, earplugs, or a person behind a curtain.

The only thing that Kerry has been able to do without cue cards and speech writers is slander the American Soldier.

And what a bunch of goofballs he surrounds himself with! John Ashcroft: Wasn't covering the breasts on the statues of the Justice Department a hoot? And that Dennis Hastert: Saying that George Soros be a drug lord because he's in favor of legalization?
Stop it. You're killing me.

I have no desire to defend that bit of theatre by Ashcroft.
Of course, I'm not sure I see Hastert as part of the Administration, either.
