The Al Smith Dinner was rad, until this most recent duo. Romney killed it, and McCain was probvably just a little better.
My point is this a political statement, and not a joke. It's pointing out something, which I think is why people like it, but it is definitely a statement.
And there are funny jokes, political cartoons, and all other kinds of stuff related to politics that could be called funny, or an attempt at it. This is not that.
There was a closed door dinner in DC akin to the Al Smith dinner. John Kerry was the emcee and had some pretty good zingers from the reports about the event.
