When Politicians Try To Make Jokes...


In A Word Political Insider has made an impassioned plea to lawmakers to enact stiff laws in an attempt to curb the rampant epidemic of politicians trying to make jokes and puns. We simply can not allow our elected officials to continue their assault on all things that are funny.

Consider this quote from New York Rep. Gregory Meeks who on Wednesday defended Hillary Clinton and her asinine "plantation" quote.

"There was no race card played here. If any card was played here it was a joker, because that's who seems to be running the House right now if you look at the leadership," said Meeks, a black Democrat.

"If any card was played here is was a joker." Oh, stop...please...you're killing me.

"If any card was played...a joker;" boy howdy that is a hoot. Oh, wait he was being serious? Holy crap, now it is funny.
