I love the smell of flop sweat in the morning

Don’t say we didn’t warn you. It looks like Al Gore’s former roommate must relinquish the Worst Political Comic Ever title: Behold the excruciating awfulness that is Joe the Comic:

Christ, the turds he used to plunge up from the depths of clogged toilets had better comic timing and delivery.

I’m sure the little red light looked like a strobe by the time Joe got to his second index card.

What a fucking disappointment. I was expecting Tommy Lee Jones.

Looks like there was no Bob Somerby this year:

Betty, how did you get that clip? Was it on C-Span. I’m dying to check out the comedy stylings of Richard Miniter.

It’s an excerpt from a longer clip featuring only JTP (I thought it would be too mean to subject y’all to the entire JTP routine), so I can’t help you with Miniter. God, can you imagine?

Aside from material, timing, presence and a pronunciation guide, I’d say he’s got the stand-up thing down cold.

This is definitely the apotheosis of JTP.

Betty, I love you in ways that would make even Kevin blush and your husband extremely angry, but I aint clicking that goddamned link for 10-quadrillion Soros bucks.

I’d like to agree, but I fell asleep from boredom while watching this lameness, so I was unable to feel the pain.

Ah, Joe…now that the election’s long past us, and any ill-conceived notions of your usefulness as Republican retard mascot have long since been proven false, I take great glee in thinking that the only people who probably hate you more than me are the Republican pricks around whose necks you continue to hang like an iron albatross.
$50 says Grover Norquist now dreams about drowning Joe in a bathtub.
