McCain and Obama - speaking tonight at NY charity dinner

McCain was hilarious.

Barack...not so much.

 

If this John McCain had run, with someone credible as VP, the guy would be right in it. I really think he has a split personality. Definitely won this matchup over Barack.

 

Barrack can't do funny. tomato was right that he sounded like Tuvok from Startrek. He is far too self-conscious to pull this off.

A lot of these jokes only work well if he tell them with a completely straight face, in his convention-speech-messiah character. But he can't do that. It seems like he was worried about offending people-- or having people actual believe he was seriously an egomaniac.

Obama is probably one of the least funny politicians I can remember in recent times.
