Obama Played By a White? Papers Imply SNL Skit Was Immoral
The media’s tender loving care of and hypersensitivity in protection of Barack Obama is going to put a real crimp in attempts at Obama humor. The latest survey of late-night jokes from the Center for Media and Public Affairs found 18 Obama jokes, about a fourth of Hillary’s (68) and a tenth of President Bush’s (175).

Time's Prez Warning: 'Nurse With 35 Yrs. Experience Killed Patient Fas
Not that Time's in the tank for Obama or nuthin'.
