So an ex-senator walks into a comedy club . . .
That's not the setup to a joke - it's what happened Tuesday night when Arlen Specter took the stage at the Helium Comedy Club's open-mike night in Center City.
"I've been in comedy now for 30 years," the former senator explained.
Taking a try at stand-up was a natural step after spending so many years in the "sit-down comedy" of Congress - and, Specter noted, it was considerably less expensive.
While some of his jokes are unprintable in a family newspaper - don't ask about the paraplegic who wanted to date the battered woman - Specter spent much of his three minutes on stage ribbing prominent local and national politicians.

But will someone tell him..
The jokes on us, we are payin' his freakin' his pension.
I am gonna quit now before I get profane and get booted...
There’s just nothing about Arlen Specter that I find funny. I thought it was odd how he was able to worm his way onto Rush Limbaugh’s show a few times. He’s the poster boy for RINO capitulation.
Go away Arlen.
I checked Scottish Law and he is certainly culpable under the Stupidity Code!
Arlen Spector is a ghoulish creature.
Rick Santorum likes him.
We know. We've seen your voting record.
Not anymore. And the most of the people slamming Rick for that are in bed with a candidate who liked Dede Scozzafava. Can you say glass house?
