SocraticGadfly: Barack Oboner

Barack Oboner

Hey, it’s not me! It’s Jon Stewart’s latest shot at Obama humor.
On Monday night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart cut right to the chase, mocking the extensive coverage of Barack Obama's trip to Iraq. Daily Show reporters Rob Riggle, Larry Wilmore, John Oliver, Wyatt Cenac and Ed Henry all joke that they have 'a boner' for Obama and follow the campaign to the Middle East, leaving just a tape recorder tethered to a crude stand to cover McCain.

Stewart’s joke is over the media’s love-in for B.O., blogged here yesterday.

Read the full story for how the gag was spun out by Stewart et al.

The joke is not the best, but it does kill two birds with one stone — mindless Obamiacs and the mainstream media.
