Scott Stantis Plays "Am I Funnier Than A Fifth Grader?" - Loses
For me, humor based on attacking someone's physical appearance is the lamest kind of humor there is. It's grade school stuff. Odds are if you're making fun of someone's looks it's because you're either too stupid or too lazy to try and come up with something that's funny based on something they've done or something they believe. It's why I objected when Stantis tried to make fun of McCain's jowls (a condition that's partially a result of his exposure to constant sunlight while a POW that may have contributed to his skin cancer), and why I think it's pathetic he's trying to make fun of Joe Biden's hair plugs.
Yeah, Biden got plugs. Who cares? If he was bald, Stantis would make fun of that too because he's too lazy to come up with something better since that might actually take effort (and talent). What makes this even worse is that Stantis then tries to drum up a few laughs with a stupid explanation as to why Winslow would attack him - Uncle Pluggy? Seriously? Stantis thinks that's funny?
But this is life as a conservative. They lie, they cheat, they steal, and they're not funny. He could easily go off on Biden for the stupid things he's said over the years - and there are LOTS of them. Instead, he wastes my time and yours with "jokes" about hair plugs. I'll save you some time, Stantis - Obama's black and has big ears. McCain has scars and yellow teeth and a droopy left eye (something that's just become more apparent this past week and nobody knows why). Palin wears glasses and her hair up, unless she's being interviewed by someone on Fox News - she lets her hair down for that.
Maybe now Stantis can draw on his inner conservative instead of his inner 7-year-old and try and come up with something funny based on things like policy and politics instead of someone's appearance.
Comments
There's also McCain's botox - yikes! But I'm sure in two weeks, we'll hear about how Biden is not qualified to be VP because he's had a passport for years, which means that he may have come into contact with dangerous foreigners.

How soon we forget. Remember that brilliant week of political satire during the Democratic Convention? (Five days of Democrats-are-like-communists jokes.)
