Mitt Romney CAN Be Funny
I doubt he wrote these himself, but he still delivered them in a humorous fashion. His Top 10 Reasons Mitt Romney Left The Race is much funnier than Letterman's, and not as snarky.
I liked! I thought the best bits were the jabs at himself, rather than at others. Especially the Al Gore = Fat joke, I thought that was a bit cheap. But overall, a good sport.
Ah, I didn't tie the Osmonds joke to the election itself, just to Mormonism. Now I get it.
The reason I thought the Gore joke was funny was because you had to figure out it was Gore he was talking about. You're emphasizing the fat part--but when you put the fat, beard, and Nobel Prize together, the joke is greater than the sum of its parts.

ReplyDeleteI probably laughed loudest at the Gore joke, but the self-directed ones were hilarious, too--except for the Osmonds one, which I still don't get.

I liked the one where he broke his hair. That hair does look like some sort of homage to Devo.
