Editor-in-chief
As we head into a new age of politics, all men are finally quasi-officially created equal by electing a black man to the highest office of in the land. Comedy, however, has taken a nasty hit.
Stephen Colbert, the beloved conservative parodist, has not gained a single vote in South Carolina. This may not come as a surprise to many voters, but it has distressed those who think comedy should cross media and enter politics. We blame Doritos for not doing their part in properly getting out the vote. As a snack chip mogul, you should have done your part and urged your consumers to vote with a sense of humor.
The Sen. John McCain loss is a detriment to "Saturday Night Live." They were hard at work financing and building a robot to replicate McCains mannerisms because no man is that stiff. All that time and money spent to tickle the funny bones of Americans has gone to waste, much like the money given to the banksin the bailout. The voters have been screwed---twice.
Tina Fey will have to wait four more years to play Gov. Sarah Palin. I feel sorry for Fey because I'm sure it took a lot of alcohol and drugs to match the I.Q. level of the Alaskan Governor. I guess she'll just have to focus on her Emmy winning series "30 Rock" now.
And Al Franken hasn't taken Minnesota by storm just yet. The story there is the Dean Barkley factor.
Barkley has a bite by taking 16 percent of the vote in Minnesota making it a nail biter in the Senate race. We almost called it for Franken's opponent, Republican Norm Coleman, but Franken has the lead by a little over 1,000 votes.
We can sum tonight up in one sentence. Comedy has suffered a tragedy, but we hear laughs at the end of the tunnel.
