    Nope, you're both wrong--it's "schmuck".

    Not at all surprising that the same people who trust faux nuz to tell them the truth would find poorly delivered weenie and racist jokes humorous.

    Nearly all quality comedy requires at least average intelligence, both to create it and to "get" it.

    For the dull-witted, Reggie Brown will more than do.

    They weren't necessarily funny (although the Weiner/AOL joke was funny..although outdated. AOL chatrooms is 1990's).

    But if you're going to make a joke about "aging" (and that is giving the comedian the benefit of the doubt), why not go with a well respected aged black man? Like Morgan Freeman (ok, minus the pervo marry your step-granddaughter bit) or photoshop a lot of gray in their hair?

    As for bringing up Jon Stewart, he makes fun of both sides (one more than the other. But they kind of invite it). This was someone with a pretty lame sense of humor trying to be funny.

    A typical political crowd: Willing to laugh at the other side, but humorless about their own.

    It would be funnier if it was really Obama.
