I see Obama is gearing up to go to Turkey, and the wags are already coming up with gift ideas to match the DVD’s ($39.99 at Amazon.com!) and the Russian button that said “overcharge” or “banana patch” or “My hovercraft is full of eels” or whatever instead of “reset”.

And I’m thinking: remember all those people, including the Stewart, Leno, Letterman’s, etc worried because it was “virtually impossible to make jokes about His O-ness?” And now, look at these gifts! TELL ME if this were GWB the late nighters wouldn’t be on it for a week straight, Letterman would squeeze at least three top ten lists out of it, that SNL would have a whole skit about it, and thus the entire country would be talking, laughing, and most importantly, branding George W. Bush with it, thus causing college kids to go into embarrasing on-camera orgasms when presented with his successor.

Has anyone seen any kind of response by the all important jokesters? (That question is not me being sarcastic, by the way) Maybe they are mentioning it, I am not a late night TV denizen.

But if not, we see in the negative how it works… how the media elites got The One in office, how they relentlessly set out to destroy his predecessor without a hint of fairness or good-faith as satirists, the whole smack.

This gift thing is in fact hilarious (in a horribly destructive sort of way). But I guess it’s still just not possible to make jokes about Mr. Obama. Afer all…. “what decent person would ever want to hear such a thing?”
