Joe the Stand-Up Comic

From Politico:

Wurzelbacher, aka “Joe the Plumber,” has signed on as one of the stand-up comedians performing at September’s “Funniest Celebrity in Washington” contest. The competition, now in its 16th year, is an annual gathering of politicos — funny and not so funny — awkwardly attempting comedy. Last year, former Gov. Mike Huckabee took home top honors.

What makes this even, ahem, funnier is that Our Own Failed Comic, who will obviously do anything for a buck, closes out the night as the “featured act” at this wretchedly unfunny contest every year. At least Joe can take comfort in the fact that the bar is set so low at this event that it’s poking up soil in China. [hat tip mp&gs]

Joe Randazzo, who won a couple of years ago, is pretty funny.  Also writes for the Onion, or at least he used to.

I knew him from my Boston comedy days.

Ah, guess I didn’t see him. I didn’t watch all C-Span had to offer, but what I did was pretty bad.

I didn’t know you worked the comedy circuit, AltHip.

I ran a venue called the Lizard Lounge Comedy Hour in Cambridge.  In 2003 I put together the first Cambridge Fringe Festival of comedy.  That was my claim to fame.

I did stand up at Catch in Cambridge back when David Cross and Sam Seder were up and comers, so I can say I knew them way back when.

Joe’s act:

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Cuz Obama’s a commie fag.

The end.

Q. Why won’t Obama release his real birth certificate?

A. Hillary Clinton won’t give it back to him.

Thanks for the H/T, Kevin, but I was just sharing a Politico update (far too fond of the RT, me).

Obama is so pretty that he would even look good in a Hillary pantsuit

Good Lord, I can feel the crushing weight of non-funny already.

WTF, do they take anyone with a pulse? Lessee…

Wurzelbacher will join such fellow conservatives as American for Tax Reform’s Grover Norquist and the Washington Times’ Richard Miniter.

Yup. I went to school with Dick Miniturd.

Do they allow heckling? This sounds like an event that wouldn’t be complete without heckling, wall-shattering belches and a few well timed farts.

Sounds like your average Town Hall.
