At least two of the presidential candidates decided to have a laugh this April Fools’ Day. Hillary Clinton challenged Barack Obama to a winner-take-all bowling tournament, while John McCain stopped by CBS to take revenge on David Letterman for all of those old-man jokes.

Clinton’s bowling challenge:

McCain opens the can-o-jokes:

Democracy has been destroyed for good…
The economy is in shambles that some experts think we are in a depression…
The US negative image in the world is at the top of a list, only a little bit better than Iran, Israel and North Korea…
And we might be left with the choice of two possible evils in the next election…
So why not inject some fun into all this intoxicating mix?! Here’s my joke for today, and I hope you’ll enjoy it!
============================
The Pope and Hillary Clinton are on the same
stage in front of a huge crowd. ‘Her Majesty’ and His Holiness, however, have seen it all before, so to make it a little more interesting, the senator says
to the Pope, “Did you know that with just one little
wave of my hand, I can make every Democrat in the crowd go wild?”
He doubts it, so she shows him. Sure enough, the wave
elicits rapture and cheering from every democrat in the crowd. Gradually, the cheering subsides.
The Pope, not wanting to be outdone by such a level
of arrogance, considers what he could do. “That was impressive. But did you know that with just one little wave of MY hand I can make EVERY person in
the crowd go crazy with joy? This joy will not be a
momentary display like that of your subjects, but will go deep into their hearts, and they will forever speak of this day and rejoice.”
The senator seriously doubts this, and says so. “One
little wave of your hand and all people will rejoice forever? Show me!”
So the Pope slapped her. And I’ve been laughing since!

That has to be the most awkward and awful attempt at a joke i’ve ever seen.

And explain why Obama needs to embarass himself on april fools day? Hillary got one part right…she sure did look like a fool.

She wanted a strike, but got a gutterball instead. Sorta like her campaign.

Maybe he doesn’t have a sense of humor, Doug. You think maybe?
