Who's the funniest candidate?

[Feanorcurufinwe]

At the debate, it seems to have been Lieberman. According to this transcript he got five laughs, followed by Sharption with four, one each for Clark, Graham, Kerry and Kucinich, and none for Dean, Edwards, Gephardt and Moseley Braun.

On applause lines, Sharpton led with four, Dean in second with two, and all the others getting one.

1. Mosley Bruan - without a doubt

She tried to run for the senate from illinois, and democratic party denied her the funds to run. What do they offer her? Just funds for the presidential candicacy. Uh can anyone say - just go home - you're embarassing us? This was McAliffs way of respectfully letting Ms. Bruan go. Any time she shows up its pure hilarlity.

6. Beg to differ...

She offered extremely good responses. Perhaps with exposure she will gain support.

[Dr Fate]

12. I disagree- no other candidate brought up womens issues...

...and that is what I love about our candidates- each one brings somthing viable to the debate...

I appreciated her humility and grace, not to mention her great responses...

[BurtWorm]

15. You're pretty funny yourself.

That's an excellent Limbaugh impression!


Welcome to DU! ;)

21. Hi, BurtWorm!

Apparently, that was no impression! Poster has been tombstoned...

[BurtWorm]

29. I was expecting it.

He or she admitted he or she was "the enemy" or something like that in another thread.

2. Sharpton no contest

Sorry DK, I do think you are funny as well though but if it was funniest dem contest it would be Sharpton. "We are still looking for those who voted for Lazio"

[Jim Sagle]

16. Which is even funnier when you realize DK looks just like Lazio.

22. Thanks to two

of my very favorite people at DU: Johnny and Jim!

Great inter-play, guys!!

:pals:

:yourock: :yourock:

[JohnKleeb]

27. I dont care how he looks

Its ISSUES not looks. Sorry I dont care what my candiate looks like. Would you have a problem with someone just because they look like Rick Lazio now if he had Lazio's issues I wouldnt support him no duh. I see a bit of resemblance, but :hi: Ive seen you say this for a while lol I want a new one, Ive seen leprecuan, gnome, frodo, etc. Dont worry aint mad at all, just saying theres a ton of descriptions for him. FDR didnt seem like the kind of guy who would be the best democratic president ever, even knowing his background. Looks dont matter one bit to me.

3. Sharpton, hands down!

The man is a natural.

[Birthmark]

4. Gotta go with Rev. Al

I'd hate to find myself at the wrong end of that wit.

[Syrinx]

5. If I voted according to humor

I would vote for Rev. Al!

[Cha]

7. Oy yeah! he's a real funny guy...not my kinda humor...

[_Jumper_]

8. Sharpton hands down

.

[sistersofmercy]

9. Definitely Al, just got love him!

I also hope there will be a place for Al in the democratic administration that will be elected in 04!

[Dr Fate]

10. Sharpton was great...

...his straight forwardness and humor is welcome in the debates...

[Zorra]

11. Reverend Al

should try stand up comedy after his 8 years as Prez are up.

[JohnKleeb]

14. the first stand up comic who was a pres :)

[cherryperry]

23. Followed by Jim Sagle!!!

eom

[Kool Kitty]

13. Sharpton-absolutely. n/t

[Jim Sagle]

17. So Kerry walked into a bar and the bartender said,

"Why the long face?"

[greyl]

18. Lieberman? Holy moley. Sharpton, period.

By a wide margin.

[Room101]

19. Sharpton delivers with comedy in each debate

Sharpton kills:)

[Rowdyboy]

20. My God, people, did we watch the same debate?

I don't like Joe Lieberman. He's my least favorite candidate. That said, he made people LAUGH WAY more than anybody else today. Sure, Sharpton was quick. But Lieberman excelled-like him or not, if you want to be honest-he was funny.

[cherryperry]

24. Mind your manners, Rowdyboy:

It's impolite to grant Lieberman so much as a shred of humanity @ DU...spoken by a woman for Kucinich, no less!!!


:beer:

:hi:

[SuffragetteSal]

25. I couldn't believe how funny Lieberman was yesterday

during the debates. "The foxes are guarding the fox house and the chickens are getting plucked' and just to be clear I did mean plucked!"

He seemed a little figety during the debates and then when asked his response, he said "what was the question?'. I thought he was hilarious and endeearing. I think he knows he is 'out' as far as the 2004 election and has lightened up quite a bit.

[cherryperry]

26. Good for you ... seriously!

You have restored my faith in DU humanity!


:yourock:

[RobertFrancisK]

28. Sharpton is the funniest and most well spoken politician of all time

Hands down. If only he were a more serious candidate, I'd fright for him so hard. But the thing is he has such an unimpressive past (on paper) that he could never ever dream of winning. It's a shame and I really have to wrestle with my conscience on the issue.

[Wickerman]

30. Sharpton

He's always funny. Has the quickest wit of the lot. Wish he had a chance.
