Last night at the Nerdprom, President Obama asked, “What’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull?” His answer? “A pit bull is delicious.” It was a reference to the lipstick joke Sarah Palin told at the Republican National Convention four years ago. With the passage of time, however, I think of Palin much more as a pit bull than a hockey mom. Of course, I guess her joke was a warning on that score. In any case, I think Obama’s joke worked on several levels, some of which it shouldn’t have.
He also said that Hillary Clinton wouldn’t stop drunk-texting him from Cartagena. I wonder if the few remaining PUMAs will have a sense of humor about that one.
