To the Endorsement!

Of course, Hollywood backs Obama. They've been doing campaigns, concerts, speeches, and other Youtube fodder for months. Now that the conventions, VP pickings, and debates are over, endorsements are basically all the media can fall back on.But--and I'll bet this is something that hasn't even crossed your mind--who do the comedians want to become President? Sure, comedians are average citizens who want what's best for their country. Many have publicly endorsed Obama. But I wonder if, deep down, some of them might want the president to be for whichever guy they think will give them the most comedic material. Jon Stewart from The Daily Show and Stephen Colbert from The Colbert Report come to my mind first. Has anyone seen Jon Stewart's material recently? His jokes are almost entirely based around McCain-Palin. And in the eight years of President Bush's reign, there's at least a jab a week at his less-than-presidential actions. And let's not forget the fact that SNL's ratings have skyrocketed with this week's appearance of Sarah Palin. Do Republicans make for better jokes? Will the comedians be able to make fun of Barack Obama? Will they want to?
