BURBANK, Calif. John Edwards has a theory about what was hidden underneath an unusual wrinkle that appeared on the back of President Bush's suit jacket during his first debate with John Kerry.

"I think it was his battery," a grinning Edwards told Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" on Tuesday.

"I think tomorrow, before the debate, John Kerry ought to pat him down," Edwards said, referring to the final Bush-Kerry matchup, scheduled for Wednesday in Arizona.

The Democratic vice presidential nominee, making his second appearance on the comedian's stage this year, was in turns silly and serious while chatting about issues from Iraq to chubby Secret Service agents.

Leno asked Edwards if he could beat the president in a foot race.

Edwards, who said he jogged about five miles Tuesday, reminded the audience he played football as a student. Bush, he noted, was on a cheering squad.

Bush "was on the side, with his pompoms," the North Carolina senator said. "I don't know, can you run fast with those cheerleading outfits on?"Source (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/print?id=161465)

Cruelty and comedy go so well together, don't they? W.C. Fields once said that comedy and cruelty go perfectly together. He was right.

I'd put my money on Bush in a fight. He lifts weights. Of course Edwards may lift his wife now and then so........Wendy's anyone?

So apparently if a person can't put down a hamburger it is funny, but if they can't put down the booze its not funny?

Could you please tell me again what is offensive and what is hysterical?

Geez, another witless remark about a woman who gave birth after the age of fifty? What, are you righties all on the same "bad joke of the week" mailing? I guess you guys have to move on from the ugly Chelsea Clinton jokes eventually.

She had a kid at 51 because their oldest son died in a car crash. But go ahead, Dave make jokes about her weight. More Douchebaggery from you.

I'm sorry, I missed when being fat and being an alcoholic were put on the same level. Thanks for clearing that up. I fully expect to see that in the next version of the DSM.

I also missed where having a child late in life causes one to run to Wendy's. How's that douchebaggery?

Ok, so if it is in the DSM IV than it would be both disrespectful and cruel to make fun of it. However, if it not in the DSM IV, let the hilarity ensue.

If you're unfamiliar with what pregnancies, particularly pregnancies undertaken later in life, do to the female body then I think you need to go back to school and take Bio 101. Assuming taking biology classes wouldn't be sinful.

Here is my bad joke of the week:

Three Texas Surgeons were playing golf together and discussing surguries that had performed.

One of them said, "I'm the best surgeon in Texas. A concert pianist lost 7 fingers in an accident, I re-attached them, and 8 months later he performed at a gala concert for the Queen".

One of the others said. "That's nothing. A young man lost both his arms and legs in an accident, I re-attached them, and 2 years later he won a gold medal in a field event at the Olympics".

The third surgeon said. "You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a guy who was high on cocaine and alcohol rode a horse, head on into a train travelling at 80 Miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the horse's arse and a cowboy hat. And today he is President of the United States".

You guys kill me. Alcoholism is open game to be made fun of but a crack at a politician's wife being heavy is the ultimate sin. :sfight:

Actually this joke was a response to yours. Don't forget equal time between candidates, or in this case equal jokes.

It's that the joke wasn't even close to being funny. Tasteless and funny makes you rich like Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Tasteless and unfunny makes you the target of wrath on an internet chat board. See the difference?

Alcoholism isnt something to be made fun of. Jimreaper was wrong for bringing that up.

No, I see that the joke was made about one of your guy's wives, that's what I see. There are cracks all day about Bush drinking, etc. and they're fine though.

Don't have a wife, Dave. Not sure what you're talking about. You made a dumb and unfunny joke.

IMO

The fact that the woman had a baby at 51 should be celebrated especially given the circumstances of her first child.


The Taliban are pretty good at picking on woman too...
