Letterman Makes Teleprompter Joke!
Update: Obama Without Teleprompter? Nope -- He Had a Huge TelePromTV Screen In the Back of the Room

...defending Obama, and making the joke at Bush's expense.

Nothing funny about Obama -- why, comedians even expressly repudiate any jokes tossed into their wheelhouse.

Letterman's point, to the extent he has one, is that Obama should be given slack on his teleprompter addiction -- after all, he just wants to "get the words right." Then he contrasts Obama with a teleprompter to Bush without one. Audience laughs. Ha, ha, ha.

Of course, if he wanted to do the with teleprompter/without teleprompter joke, he could have just used Uhh-bama's stumbles, eh? Like the embarrassing moments tucked into this video.

Nothing funny about this president. Nothing.

So, if you want to see it, here it is:

If you do watch, enjoy Letterman lecturing us all that we can't knock Obama, not at all, because, for goodness sakes, the man's inherited a crisis and "at least he's trying."

A while ago I lost most of my funny and so I turned to pure politics. I see Letterman is following my lead.

Obama's Woobie: You can't take a baby's woobie.
