There Is Something Wrong With That

A certain line from my post on Al Franken, below, has brought out a new legion of heretofore unknown amateur humorists emailing me with punch lines. Instead of trying to pick out just one for recognition, I’ll present a composite joke, incorporating the common, yet still inspired, lunacy of them all:

Saint Paul - your brilliant post about Al Franken was typically, well brilliant. But it seems your prose did fall into redundancy one account:

“No doubt hanging out with Eric Alterman and Garrison Keilor would make Richard Simmons feel like a hard ass.”

According to reports, Richard Simmons pretty much feels like a hard ass no matter who he’s hanging out with. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.


Yes, our readers have now brought us down to the level of Richard Simmons gay jokes. What are the guys at Powerline going to think of this? I bet they don’t even make eye contact with us at the Hugh Hewitt function tomorrow night.
