All the news not fit for print

Check out my story about the Funniest Celebrity in Washington contest last night. The story had to be, ahem, censored a bit to remove jokes about the Jews, paraplegics, lesbian terrorists and allegedly homosexual senators. So, I decided to post some of those jokes here, instead.

WARNING: The following jokes are entirely inappropriate and/or not entirely funny. Be aware.

Joseph Randazzo, assistant editor of The Onion and last night's
champion:
  • "I would like to thank the Jewish cabal that secretly controls the media:
    Oprah, Katie Couric, Bill O'Reilly, Steven Speilberg and that guy who works
    at the bagel shop on Sullivan Street."
  • "Only in America can the son of a senator grow up to be the father of a president, whose brother is a governor ... only in America."
  • "I didn't get to do the bit about how lesbians are responsible for 9/11."

Matt Cooper, the Washington editor of Portfolio and former (?) confidante of Karl "The Comedy Killer" Rove

  • "Congress is going to pass a resolution denouncing Henry VIII."
  • "Larry Craig should have just said, 'I just love cock.'"

David Korn, the Nation

  • "Hillary should not be saying anything about messes in the Oval Office."
  • "When it comes to pulling out, a woman knows best."

Ana Marie Cox, former Wonketter and now at Time.com

  • "He's a real come from behind kind of guy." -- Craig, obviously.
  • "Giuliana promises to outlaw abortions -- in the Oval Office. And, and, the waiting period for gay marriage will be longer than the waiting period for a gun."
  • "I never get in a car with a drunk driver unless he's wearing a condom." -- in reference to former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's comment that safe sex is like drunken driving
  • "Then what is unprotected sex like?"
  • "I think Hillary knows all about loose meat." -- too long to explain.
  • "Print's not dead. Print is a grouchy, sick old man. If it were dead, someone would be collecting on its insurance and actually profiting from it. Print just wishes it were dead." -- speculation on the fate of the print media
