Which presidential candidate has the best sense of humor?
Here's an interesting poll on which of the presidential candidates has the best sense of humor, including both the Democrats and Republicans.

It's a tough call on the Democrats, but I'd have to go with Barack Obama (I liked his recent line on "The Tonight Show" about being related to Cheney: "I don't want to be invited to the family hunting party").

For the Republicans, I'd have to say John McCain. His dig about Woodstock the other day was kind of funny, when he said, "I'm sure it was a cultural and pharmaceutical event. I was tied up at the time."

You can vote here.

9. Kucinich for his outstanding
performance on Colbert. He has a natural sense of humor.

8. OMG! No, he DIDN'T say that, did he?!!
I liked his recent line on "The Tonight Show" about being related to Cheney: "I don't want to be invited to the family hunting party"

:rofl:

I knew he said something along the lines of "Every family has its black sheep", but I wasn't familiar with this other comment.

Anyway, I think Kucinich is very funny. He confirmed that once again when he was on Colbert's show.

10. Hillary was hilarious on the Letterman show
When Hillary Clinton was on with David Letterman, she read a list of her "Top Ten Campaign Promises" that I thought was pretty funny.

10. "Bring stability and long term security to 'The View.'"
9. "Each year on my birthday, every American gets a cupcake."
8. "You'll have the option of rolling dice against the IRS for double-or-nothing on your taxes."
7. "Having trouble getting a flight and Air Force One is available -- it's yours."
6. "My Vice President will never shoot anybody in the face."
5. "Turn Gitmo into a Dairy Queen as soon as possible."
4. "For over a century there have been only two Dakotas -- I plan to double that."
3. "We will finally have a President who doesn't mind pulling over and asking for directions. Am I right, ladies?"
2. "I will appoint a committee to find out what the heck is happening on 'Lost.'"
1. "One more pantsuit joke and Letterman disappears."

11. You cannot vote for Kucinich, his name does not appear
as a Democratic candidate in this vote, neither does the name Dodd or Gravel.
