Is your bias showing?
Kevin Connors at Sgt. Stryker’s weblog doesn’t approve of John Kerry’s sense of humor. One day last week, while Kerry and Bush were making campaign speeches in Davenport, Iowa, a robber hit three local banks. John Kerry allegedly responded to the news by remarking that both he and the president had airtight alibis.
To those who, like Kevin, are offended by Kerry’s remark, I ask you to take the partisan bias test: pretend Bush made the remark, not Kerry. Would it be funny then?
Personally, I thought Kerry’s remark funny. I didn’t know he had a sense of humor; I’m glad to learn he does.
But it would have been even funnier if Bush had said it, because it would have come out like this: “I know me and the other guy have alibight air-ties.”
