Albert Brooks on our presidents having a sense of humor.

Bill Maher made a good point last night on his show. One downside to the election of Barack Obama is that for the next four years, we're going to have the Sean Hannitys of the world trying to gin up scandals and outrage over every possible bit of bad or arguable judgment. If Obama eats a piece of cheese, we're going to have Cheesegate. If he says he doesn't like The Wizard of Oz, there will be demands he apologize to Munchkins everywhere right after he resigns his office. The onslaught will probably work about as well as all those cries of "Socialist" worked to get John McCain elected…but we're still going to have to listen to it.
