Obama's Roast of Fred Thompson

Funny, but appropriate?

I'm not sure. It feels a little bit like this:



Granted, Obama taunting the Republicans for fielding a horrible crop of presidential candidates who could never have won, like a guy on the Y pickup team that's made up of the first five guys to make their free throws after he grabs a rebound out of your hands and kicks it out to some guy who makes his 7th 2-pointer of the game to end your misery is a little different from Bush taunting the American public about getting them to believe in a lie that everyone knew was a lie, like some asshole who someone's mother is in love with because she doesn't think she can do any better joking that, 'Honey, you didn't really believe it when I said that I wasn't at J.T. Staggs last night, did you?' But it can give the campaign-obsessed Democrat the same sick feeling that we are taking this shit more seriously than our leaders.

But on the other hand, maybe Obama's right. How could anyone take a campaign seriously?
