Joe Piscopo on politics

[Kire]

"I'm a Democrat, although my friends tell me I'm leaning toward the Republican side. I am the product of immigrants and the working class family and, historically, all those folks were good Democrats. I don't know if that holds true today. Uh-oh, I don't know if now I'm getting too serious."

"You know, speaking as a Democrat, I really am most impressed with Mr. Bush because of the comments I hear from the people around him. When one talks to friends or other people in the political arena, you really hear the inside dope, so to speak. In this case, the dope on Bush is good, so to speak." "I think I would ask Bush to nail down his drug history -- nail it down, Dubya! It's okay; we understand. We're cool with it, and we ain't gonna hold it against ya. But man, I am just so curious. I would ask him, "Could you just give us a timeline on your drug history?"

"Don't ever underestimate Al Gore! I don't know Al, and I don't know if I'm gonna vote for him either, but he is a man of integrity. He's a man with a solid family history like Bush, so you can't underestimate a guy like that. I can only hope that if he does win, he and Tipper don't dance. The Republicans actually dance better than Tipper and Al Gore."

"With Al Gore, I would just try to get him to chill down by asking him to disrobe on stage. "Al, take your clothes off. This will really break the ice, because you're just way too uptight!" But, I jest." (CNN, 08/03/00)

1. Sounds like he and Zell would get along famously.

Yikes!

[roguevalley]

2. He has NEVER been funny to me. He's a yukker of his own jokes,

a muscle bound yokel, a total idiot.

[Lithos]

4. Never heard he was terribly gifted in the intelligence dept.

Just a schmuck who got lucky.

5. sounds like Governor material

no?

6. I hope not for your guys sakes

But I got the strange feeling Nugent moved down here to Texas so he could run for office. So you could have the same problem just with a different "personality".

7. Corzine "thinks Joe Piscopo is a very, very funny guy."

"But, hey, the only candidate Jon Corzine is taking seriously is himself." -- Corzine spokeswoman Ivette Mendez (Asbury Park Press, 03/09/05)

I think they could have just left that first sentence alone.
