He needs to get out of the Beltway once in awhile. And maybe the angry protestors outside the Fox studios have shaken him up.
I asked my young teenage son what he thought of the twins part of the program and he thought it was alright. (Not that he's ever watched Sex in the City - he's only 14, so can't vote yet, darnit.)
Here's what I thought of the Bush twins: they were kids before a huge audience, and they were nervous and giggly because of it. I've seen grown men and women accept or present Academy awards and behave in a similar manner (and they were actors).
The jokes sort of reminded me of some of the times the President has spoken at one of those Press Corp dinners. Same type of humor, a little irreverent and sometimes lame.
The joke about the hamster was good. I don't think they added a thing to the night, but I think pundits who criticize a couple kids for telling lame jokes and being giggly need to "get a life."
It will have absolutely no effect on the election!
