Jerry and I were having a discussion about JFK's wit the other day and I thought it might be fun to start a political humor thread! Post funny quotes, images, cartoons and other videos and things you've seen around!

Remember guys, its all in good fun. With such seriousness in politics today, I hope to see some stuff from you all too. We need a good laugh these days

Some political cartoons I've seen recently:

One of my fav youtube vids somoene made - "The Empire strikes Barack"

And of course...the JFK vid that spawned it all:

Oh, boy. That is funny...

Even the Star Wars parody. Which, both as a fan of Star Wars and of Hillary Clinton... yeah... It's interesting when you're confronted with just how far your sense of humour won't go.

Jessie, those videos were great! You know what I think of the JFK one, and the Star Wars parody was hilarious! I especially liked them showing Bill Clinton as the Emperor!

Jessie, we do need some laughter. Thanks for this!

Okay, here's one:

Just a poke at the war - not the soldiers, of course.

love that!

New York Times had a funny slide show:
Analysis of Campaign Logos and How They Influence Opinions (PICS)

And since Jessie's world revolves around this man, some of my fav Funny JFK quotes:

"Do you realize the responsibility I carry? I'm the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House."

"I do not think it entirely inappropriate to introduce myself to this audience. I am the man who accompanied Jacqeline Kennedy to Paris, and I have enjoyed it." (While saying goodbye to his hosts after Jacqueline had charmed all of France including De Gaulle with her fluent French on their visit to France.)

"I just received the following wire from my generous Daddy - "Dear Jack, Don't buy a single vote more than is necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide."

"I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone." (at a dinner honoring Nobel Prize winners of the Western Hemisphere, the White House, April 29, 1962)

"Look at that, I have a total fiasco and my poll ratings go up. What am I going to do to get them up further?"

"It was absolutely involuntary. They sank my boat." (answering a little boy on how he became a war hero)

"Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be president, but they don't want them to become politicians in the process"

"Khrushchev reminds me of the tiger hunter who has picked a place on the wall to hang the tiger's skin long before he has caught the tiger. This tiger has other ideas."

Awesome, awesome, awesome.

I mean no disrespect when I say this, because I (of course) have great admiration for JFK... but I didn't know he had such a great sense of humour. Intelligence, dignity, courage... yes. But I love that he had a great sense of humour, too!

This is in reaction to the ridiculous notion that building a new Marlins stadium in Miami will help boost tourism.

I hope those business croonies apologize to the people of Overtown for taking away the money promised to improve their area and choosing to use it elsewhere to make their pockets fatter.

**sunnykerr** · 07-22-2008, 06:38 PM

That last one's just sad, though, isn't it?

Yep, Florida has really gone down the toilet.

Here are some more political cartoons I found:

All a reflection of the country's sad current status. The last one is a good wake up call for us, though.

**sunnykerr** · 07-30-2008, 05:24 PM

Heh. I guess it's great that they're still finding ways to fing the funny?

Jen Jaree · 08-02-2008, 10:18 AM

I often make jokes that America will be sneaking to Mexico or Canada in the future

**sunnykerr** · 08-03-2008, 01:12 PM

Thank you

I live in BC so I thought I would compare homeland securities.

Jen , that was so funny!

When I think about how possibly all the other countries are laughing at our economic misfortune and taking advantage of our weak dollar status. They're probably thinking we deserve it and they're right.
