No wonder he didn't go on the Daily Show

Second. Lamest. Scandal. Ever.

In the hypercharged race for president, apparently even the jokes aren't funny anymore.

Sen. John F. Kerry [related, bio] last night criticized President Bush for poking fun at his administration's inability to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq during a media dinner known for its biting humor.

"If George Bush thinks his deceptive rationale for going to war is a laughing matter, then he's even more out of touch than we thought,'' Kerry said in a statement issued to the press."
Ok, thanks for the tip, Senator GoodTimes. Boy, I'd love to party with you.

Say, let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we? What does John Kerry find funny....

Assassination:

"The Secret Service is under orders that if Bush is shot, to shoot Quayle."
And torturing POWs:
[Kerry] joked that he admired McCain for the independence and courage he had shown during "years of torture at the hands of ideological fanatics -- and that's just the GOP caucus."
But now, humor is out of bounds. Jackass.

Maybe Bush should start joking about how Kerry was at a meeting where killing pro-Vietnam senators was discussed...

Kucinich joked at a Dem debate, and received no condemnation from anyone, that Bush wanted to go to Mars to look for WMDs.

Double Standard Dems receive a pass on whatever they say. When Trent Lott compliments Strom Thurmond in a vague and general way, he is forced to step down as Majority Leader. When a black Georgia Representative makes stupid racial comments, it's news for about 2 hours. Bush makes some silly jokes, and Kerry is irked, but apaprently Kerry can make suggestions on murdering the Vice President, and the unbiased media doesn't give a eff.
