Welcome to the January 16, 2015 Post Game Show for Mojo Friday!
I don't know how I'd get through life without humor and laughing. I really don't. And that is especially true with regard to so many of our political figures for whom laughter, well, is the best treatment, as it is so hard to take many of them seriously. So, in our poll today, tell us who you think the biggest Republican joke who might run for president is!
It shows up in the headlines: Jeb Is a Joke in Romneyland and, of course, about the candidates themselves:
Q: Why can't Mitt Romney screw in a light bulb?
A: Because he can't decide which way to turn.
"Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says he wants to be president. Well that's good, somebody will have to pardon his brother." --David Letterman
"Have you heard about this guy? Dr. Rand Paul. He's the new folk hero of America, the son of Ron Paul. How to describe Rand Paul? I mean, he's a doctor. It's as if Sarah Palin somehow made it through medical school.
"Ted Cruz reminds me of Miley Cyrus because he is not afraid to incur the wrath of even some of his fans for the greater good of drawing attention to himself. I really think a filibuster is the political version of 'twerking.'" –Bill Maher
"During last night's Republican debate, Mike Huckabee got a big laugh when he said that Congress has been spending money like John Edwards at a beauty salon. Then Huckabee got an even bigger laugh when he said he's running for president" --Conan O'Brien
To say "And now for the fun" feels a bit redundant today, but here goes!
