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…

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.

The first was on Monday’s Late Show (9/8/08):

The oldest gorilla in captivity died last week at the age of 55.

The oldest known gorilla not in captivity is 61 and is governor of California.

Then came Tuesday’s show (9/9/08) in which he told the following two jokes of mine!

First was this one:

They’re saying now that when John McCain and Sarah Palin are together he will hug her, but he won’t kiss her.

It’s just like Bill and Hillary.

Then he closed out the monologue with this one:

O.J. Simpson is on trial again, this time for robbery and kidnapping in Law Vegas.

He has a pretty good alibi; he says he couldn’t have done it because at the time of the robbery he was across town stabbing somebody.

Thanks, Dave! You’re the wind beneath my wings!

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.

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

Sounds good!

But, let’s face it, she’s not the only major presidential candidate left who would likely be getting up at all hours of the night should he or she be elected in November. For example, given his advanced age, it ain’t no stretch to imagine why John McCain would be getting up at 3:00am – and it has nothing to do with the phone. In fact, that was the topic of a joke I wrote for David Letterman that he told on Thursday’s Late Show.

Hillary Clinton has another campaign ad now showing her getting up at 3:00am to take an emergency phone call.

John McCain has his own ad about getting up at 3:00am, except in his ad he gets up to go to the bathroom.

It’s funny cause it’s true.

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.

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…

What does all of this have to do with Hillary Clinton and her increasingly desperate struggle with Barack Obama, you ask? Isn’t it obvious? Mash it all together and you get a quality topical joke that I wrote and David Letterman told to open his monologue on last night’s Late Show (2/27/08).

Last night in Cleveland Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had their last debate.

You can tell Hillary is getting desperate. At one point she accused Obama of attending a party at Jose Canseco’s house.

Don’t let the title of this post fool you – Hillary has never used steroids. I mean, I don’t think so… probably not… I guess… right?

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.
