President Obama was a big hit telling jokes at the White House Correspondent’s dinner on Saturday.

He was so funny that earlier today NBC gave him the 10:00 slot.

I hope everybody had as nice a Thanksgiving as I did. I loaded up on gravy, mashed potatoes and pie - all of which has once again gone right to my hips. The holidays always wreak havoc on my figure.

Aside from the orgy of food, it was also a good week for comedy! I cranked out two more poorly drawn cartoons and David Letterman told two of my jokes on TV!

Let’s start with the jokes. First, Dave told this one on Monday’s Late Show (11/24/08):

Political insiders are now saying that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have formed a good working relationship but they don’t have a close personal relationship.

That’s right, Obama and Hillary have a good working relationship but not a close personal relationship - no, wait, I’m sorry, that’s Bill and Hillary.

Then, he told this little throw-away line that I wrote on his Thanksgiving Day show (11/27/08):

I have a lot to be thankful for this year.

Sarah Palin, Eliot Spitzer, John McCain, Amy Winehouse, Andy Dick…

Following on this Thanksgiving theme, IT World published my latest IT Underworld cartoon:

Last and pretty much least, I closed out the Thanksgiving week by posting yet another Schwilm cartoon:

OK, enough with Thanksgiving! Time to get to work on Christmas and Hanukkah material…

After a hard fought primary battle Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are now campaigning together! Reminds me of another famous political couple that fought like cats and dogs but, in the end, stuck together. If you don’t know who I mean, perhaps this joke that I wrote and David Letterman closed out his monologue with on Thursday’s Late Show (6/27/08) will clear it up:

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are now making campaign appearances together.

During the day they’re at campaign functions together and then at night they go to separate hotels - no wait, I’m sorry, that’s Hillary and Bill.

You can also watch the video of the entire monologue here.

Let’s just hope they don’t show up to a campaign event together in the same pants suit - that’d be awkward.

Big news coming out of Boston last night. No, not about the Celtics (did they play last night or something?). No, the really big news was David Letterman (down there in New York) telling a joke that I wrote up here in Boston yesterday for the Late Show (6/17/08).

Yesterday former Vice President Al Gore officially endorsed Barack Obama.

Political experts say this should give Obama’s campaign a much needed shot of boredom.

Afterwards I was so excited my buddy Sully and I went out and flipped over a car and then had some baked beans and chowder. Good times.

By this time I think we’ve all got a sense of the differences between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. She’s a woman, he’s a man; she’s white, he’s black; he wears pants suits, she wears … shorter pants suits. You get the idea.

But, aside from both being Democratic Senators, they’re also more alike than you realize. Here, I’ll let David Letterman explain how, using a joke I wrote for him that he told on Wednesday’s Late Show (3/19/08).

If you think about it, Hillary and Obama have a lot in common.

Both are lawyers, both are senators, and neither one is sleeping with Bill Clinton.

Here’s the audio:

I submitted this joke to the show back in late February. When Dave told it, it took me a second to remember that I had written it. I love when that happens…

Like the late rounds of a classic heavyweight title fight, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are really slugging it out. Fists are flying, blood is flowing, low blows are being landed - I love it all! You can’t make up this kind of entertainment.

No, you can’t make up this kind of entertainment, but you can sure make fun of it, which is what we like to do at Cup O Politics.

This week our good buddy and very talented musician and writer Dave Wildman whipped up not one but two little diddies about HRC vs. BHO and my COP partner Steve Garfield created some great videos to go with them.

Check these out!
