If Obama isn't, according to McCain, "That one," he surely is one.

“But for one night they showed that even the two most recognizable people on the planet, vying for the most important job there is, have a human side”.

...yeah. Uh huh. Did Stalin or Marx ever do any stand up?

There are links on drudge to part one and part 2 of each speech...they are much clearer than the links originally posted here last night.

McCain hit it out of the park, Obama was so so. My husband and I wondered who wrote McCain’s monologue it was brilliant, and McCain’s delivery was that of a seasoned comedian.

Mac brought down the house. I thought Hillary was going to wet her pants from laughing so hard.

NObama had a couple of good lines, but he was a dud. No humor at all in the empty suit. Guess that is because he is a joke to begin with.

Roy Arroyo from EWTN this morning told the Friends that Mac was the funniest last night at the Al Smith dinner. Brian following his memo chimed in with—oh, they were BOTH hysterical. Arroyo continued to talk about how one woman at his table supports Barry because he is smooth and for change but at the end of the night was disappointed and said to him—gee, Obama doesn’t know how to laugh at himself much, does he?

Also, there was quite a stir created that pro-abortion Barry was even invited as Rudy, Lurch and Bubba were not in the past. This guy said that the abortion issue would be very significant in this election.

He truly missed his calling.

Obama is right where he should be as a well-seasoned communist agent.

“Who is Barack Obama? Contrary to the rumors you may have heard, I was not born in a manger. I was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father, Jor-El, to save the planet Earth.”

THAT’S WHY HE DOESN’T HAVE A BIRTH CERTIFICATE...

Reagan was funny too. Did he miss his calling?

McCain was fabulous. If he’d have done as well in the debates, this would be over. The good news, I guess, is that this event seems to be getting a whole lot of coverage.

Empty suit (Democrat): " Barack Obama? Contrary to the rumors you may have heard, I was not born in a manger.
I was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father, Jor-El, to save the planet Earth."

I watched McCain’s monologue on Youtube last night and it was absolutely brilliant.

First off, it was very, very funny. Every single joke got big laughs.

But, more importantly, he got many key talking points out, in a very positive way.

1) The Clintons are really for him.
2) Obama is the “messiah”
3) MSM (especially MSNBC) is biased against him.
4) Keith Olbermann belongs in a mental institution.
5) ACORN is trying to steal the election.

[I couldn’t resist: one more ping for this morning.]

“So, you know I have fun with the media. We all know that the press is really an independent, civic-minded and non-partisan group … like ACORN.

“In case you haven’t been following my opponent’s ‘Get Out The Vote’ campaign, ACORN is helping to register groups that were previously excluded, overlooked and under-served – second-graders, the deceased, Disney characters.”

I thought they were both pretty funny, but NcCain clesarly had the edge.

I almost wish this had as much coverage as the debates.

I watched this last night on FOX. McCain clearly gave the better delivery and had the better writer. He was a natural and got in some well humoured shots at Obama. Obama did a credible job. I even liked his line about how McCain and Al E. Smith were friends and did shots together before prohibition. It was, after all, a charity event.

Completely agree...I thought Obama’s jokes were mostly focused on his reputation for being a god....what’s so funny about that? Nothing self-deprecating there...

I think after that is when he said (of Mickey Mouse), “I have an idea the big rat is a Republican.” Everytime I think of that line, it makes me laugh.
