My Congressman Is A Stand-Up Comedian

by: Bertin Lefkovic

Thu Jan 12, 2012 at 12:25:19 PM EST



Inspired by Senator Arlen Specter's recent foray into the world of stand-up comedy, my soon-to-be new Congressman (by virtue of Dunellen's proximity to Plainfield), Rush Holt, was clearly auditioning to be Joey Novick's regular opening act when he scored the loudest laugh line of the evening last night while Howard Dean was speaking at a Montclair fundraiser for Holt.

Dean was talking about all of the different groups of people that Republicans seem to hate as evidenced by their hateful rhetoric towards the African-American, Hispanic-American, and LGBT-American communities, when Holt uncharacteristically piped in and said...

"Now it appears that they hate themselves."

...and the room erupted with laughter.  Who needs politics or rocket science when you can make people laugh?  Be careful, Joey.  Holt and Specter might take their act on the road and leave you behind.

Good one. (0.00 / 0)
That was a good one.  Probably true too.  Usually people who aren't happy with themselves are the first people to spew hate to others.  Such a shame.  Good joke, though!
