Humor in the campaigns

[Undertoad]

I hope we can locate humor on the campaign trail and reduce some of the partisanship, lighten the load of anger in the country. In that spirit I open this thread with two examples, one from each side, both of which happened yesterday, and both were decent one-liners, pulled off with fine comic timing.


Kerry is standing with Edwards, speechifying: "I want you to know we think this is a dream ticket. We've got better vision. We've got better ideas. We've got a better sense of what's happening to America. And we've got better hair."


Bush is being asked about the Edwards choice by a long-winded reporter asking how he would compare Edwards to Cheney. The question went on but Bush answered it with a tiny deadpan quip: "Dick Cheney can be President. Next?"
