I watched President Obama and Jay Leno deliver comedy routines at the White House correspondent's dinner last night, via MSNBC, and I have to say that the President had funnier, more pointed jokes and a better style of delivery. I'd have to say "much funner" and "much better delivery." The contrast bordered on embarrassing.
Obama's very funny routine, in tandem with Leno phoning it in from his 3x5 cards here. The President's performance is actually worth watching, both for the comedy and his delivery.
Now Conan O'Brien could have given the President some comedy competition - but frankly the tired Leno, a lame quip machine recycling himself like a latter-day Bob Hope, is more the Beltway press corps' speed.
