Flashback of the Day
From The Onion, November 7, 2012:
Obama Pokes Fun at Everyone
“President Obama poked fun at Hillary Clinton’s lack of appeal among young people Saturday night, joking at the annual White House press corps dinner that Mrs. Clinton was like an aging relative who cannot figure out how to use Facebook,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Obama also needled Mrs. Clinton for paid speeches she gave for Goldman Sachs… But the president reserved his most biting commentary for the Republicans running for president, repeatedly turning to the party’s chaotic nominating contest for comedic fodder.”
Politico has Obama’s top ten jokes from last night.
Ted Cruz’s Basketball Ring
Jimmy Kimmel: “Now I think he might be an alien trying to convince us he’s a human being. I have never personally heard anyone call a basketball hoop a ‘ring,’ but maybe that’s just me.”
Parody of ‘The War Room’ Planned
Fred Armisen and his former “Saturday Night Live” colleagues Bill Hader and Seth Meyers are planning a parody of the classic political documentary The War Room, called “The Bunker,” for cable channel IFC this fall, Politico reports.
The Case for John Kasich

Joe Biden Had a Good Ted Cruz Joke
The Washington Post reports Vice President Joe Biden poked fun at Sen. Ted Cruz as the Gridiron Dinner:
“An inspiration to every kid in America who worries that he’ll never be able to run for president because nobody likes him. He’s running. And look, I told Barack, if you really, really want to remake the Supreme Court, nominate Cruz. Before you know it, you’ll have eight vacancies.”
Trump Confounds Late Night Comics
New York Times: “His style has rendered him, weirdly, almost comedy-proof. Election parodies traditionally exaggerate candidates. But Mr. Trump exaggerates himself — he’s the frilled lizard of politics, inflating his self-presentation to appear ever larger. Satire exposes candidates’ contradictions and absurdities. But Mr. Trump blows past those, while his supporters cheer.”
“Whatever anyone thought of Mr. Trump as a candidate, the consensus was that he would be a one-man stimulus program for comedians. He’s given them plenty of material, but little of it has stuck. As Mr. Trump has defied conventional politics and confounded conventional pundits, so has he frustrated conventional satire.”

Donald Trump Hosts ‘Saturday Night Live’
Donald Trump’s “highly touted and almost certainly inappropriate hosting gig on NBC’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ turned out to be an anemic and halfhearted dud,” the Washington Post reports.
New York Times: “Mr. Trump, a man famed for his self-aggrandizing ways, seemed to relish the chance to show that he could take a joke — a point that he made explicitly in his opening monologue as host on the NBC show. But it was a stilted and sometimes unfunny performance, suggesting Mr. Trump is most at ease when hosting his own, seemingly never-ending TV show, rather than appearing as a guest host on somebody else’s.”
Debate Reactions, Before It Happened
Jimmy Kimmel asked people on Monday what they thought of the Democratic debate that wouldn’t occur until Tuesday.
