Who Said Democrats Aren’t Funny? Jay Leno’s Top 21 Best Jokes about Liberals & the Obama Administration
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on May 26, 2009
Who said Democrats aren’t funny? Liberal comedians think it’s too hard to mock this presidential administration. Are they nuts?
Good grief, every week, the comedy gold coming out of Washington, DC is just begging to be mined. This stuff is priceless.
Jay Leno, one of the few comedians who pokes fun at the Obama administration
But, Jay Leno, we tip our hat to you – you’re the MAN! The Tonight Show has really set the bar for not taking the current White House administration too seriously and actually making conservatives laugh. There is still much room for improvement, but you’re no longer one of the late-night talk-show-host Obamabot sheep. It’s a good sign. We’ll miss you when you leave at the end of the month.
Here’s my first, personally compiled list of what I consider to be “Jay Leno’s Top 21 Best Jokes about Liberals and the Obama Administration” (more lists comprised of Leno’s jokes about Obama’s administration will surely follow)… Jay, thanks for the giggles and guffaws.
Steve Crowder, you have company now, dude!
UPDATE: New, daring (slightly wacky) satirical piece by one of my fave conservative writers, John T. Simpson: My Secret Life as a Conservative Republican. I know a number of liberals will mock it or take it out of context, but heck, who cares… they do that all the time anyway. A quote snippet: “…Nobody in the GOP’s perfect. But it beats being a liberal! Except for the part where they get away with murder, and we get stoned for jaywalking.” Hope you enjoy it!

“I had the most frustrating night the other night. I watched the season finale of ’24′ with Nancy Pelosi. You know, she couldn’t remember the first 23 hours. Didn’t remember any of the torture — none of it!”
“President Obama announced today plans to either trim or eliminate 121 programs. The programs he wants to eliminate — Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly.”
“Oh, man, Biden did it again… You see this today? Joe Biden was on the ‘Today’ show, and he said he would tell his family members not to take any commercial flights and don’t ride in any subway cars because of this swine flu. You know, I don’t think Joe Biden’s going to catch swine flu, but it’s pretty obvious he has a case of foot-in-mouth disease.”
“And at his commencement speech at Notre Dame, President Obama said we should be doing everything we can to prevent unplanned pregnancies, to which John Edwards said, ‘Tell me about it.’”
“President Obama said this week he is worried that the country is losing its love of learning. You may have heard him say this. He said we need to show as much attention to science award winners as we do basketball players. Now, didn’t he just install a basketball court in the White House? I guess the West Wing science lab is next on the list.”
“Big day in Detroit. You may have heard about this. The Obama Administration asked General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner to step down, and he agreed, which is good news for Obama. You know, the last time he tried to get someone to quit, it took months. And even then, he had to promise her a job as Secretary of State.”
“On ’60 Minutes’ the other night, if you saw the interview, reporter Steve Croft asked President Obama how he could laugh with all the financial trouble going on. And the President said it’s necessary to have a measure of ‘gallows humor to get you through the day.’ You know why Obama likes gallows humor? It works much better for him than bowling humor.”
“So they gave the Queen an iPod. I remember when British Prime Minister Gordon Brown was here, the Obamas gave him a DVD box set. So, it looks like they’re saving the big gift, the Nintendo, for the Pope.”
“But you learn a lot about the [health care] system. You know, like, people say, ‘Oh, where do hospitals get the nerve to charge $10 for an aspirin?’ See, this is why President Obama wants to do something about healthcare in this country. See, under his plan, hospital aspirin only costs a dollar maximum. Of course, there would be a $9 tax on it.”
“It looks like more than 13,000 people were caught up in that Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme. You know what a Ponzi scheme is? That’s where you throw good money after bad, or as the government calls it, a stimulus package. But very similar.”
“President Obama has announced a task force to review the tax codes. He’s concerned there are too many loopholes and too many
people manipulating the system to avoid paying taxes. And that’s just in his administration.”
“Oh, on Friday, President Obama was taken to a secure location in the White House after a single engine plane strayed over White House air space. As a precaution, they took the President to a place in the White House nobody even knew existed — Joe Biden’s office.”
“General Motors announced they’re closing over a thousand dealerships. A lot of people are blaming GM’s new CEO, some guy named Barack Obama.”
“The Oscars are kind of a special time in Hollywood. It’s a time when celebrities take a break from worshiping Barack Obama and take some time to worship themselves.”
“Blink 182 on this show. Don’t confuse that with Nancy Pelosi’s favorite band. That’s the Can’t Blink 182.”
“Vice President Joe Biden gave a speech to fifth graders in Syracuse, New York, where he said his dog is smarter than President Obama’s dog. Actually, the dog is smarter than Biden, because it at least knows when not to speak.”
“Oh, the FDA is now scolding General Mills for claiming that Cheerios can lower your cholesterol by 10%. They say that would be considered an unauthorized health claim. The FDA also said there is no evidence that Lucky Charms are magically delicious.”
“I’m sure you’ve heard, Senator Arlen Specter has switched to the Democratic party. Yeah, today, Obama told Republicans look, we’ll give you Biden and call it even.”
“A criminal grand jury is now probing whether or not Edwards illegally gave $114,000 from his political action committee to his mistress. Edwards said it was proper use of action committee money because he said, hey, he was getting plenty of action.”
“Hey, speaking of movies, Matt Damon has a new Jason Bourne film coming out. I guess he’s a CIA agent who tells Nancy Pelosi about waterboarding. Yeah, but see, in this one, she’s the one that gets amnesia. That’s the twist.”
“Barack Obama said yesterday that the economy was ‘going to get worse before it gets better.’ See, that’s when you know the campaign is really over. Remember before the election? ‘The audacity of hope!’ ‘Yes, we can!’ ‘A change we can believe in!’ Now it’s, ‘We’re all screwed.’”
