Craig Ferguson to MSNBC’s Richard Wolffe: “Journalist is much the same thing as Democrat, isn’t it?”

Which CBS executive hired Scottish comedian Craig Ferguson to host the Late, Late Show? Whoever it was deserves a raise, because it was an inspired choice.

MSNBC’s Richard Wolffe was Ferguson’s guest on Wednesday night and tried to explain why he was against any extension of the Bush tax cuts. The following conversation ensued:

Ferguson: You’re a Democrat, aren’t you?
(Audience laughter)
Wolffe: I am a journalist.
Ferguson: A journalist?
(Audience laughter)
Ferguson: Much the same thing, isn’t it?
(Audience laughter)

Not only was Ferguson’s delivery and timing absolutely perfect, but so was Wolffe’s muted acceptance of the truth. He sat there in stunned silence with a silly grin on his face. Right next to the egg on his face.

So Barack Obama’s in a boat with Tom Daschle and Tim Geithner…

OK, so maybe that wasn’t the joke, but after two long years the late night comedians have finally discovered comedy gold in Barack Obama. At least one of them has.

On Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, Jon Stewart devoted an entire monologue to jokes about Barack Obama. Joke after joke after joke.

Believe it or not, Jay Leno also cracked his first Obama joke. That puts him one ahead of David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel, Craig Ferguson and Steven Colbert.

Obama jokes have been non-existent on late night TV. The man was considered untouchable. In part because the late night hosts agree with his leftwing policies. In part because they feared accusations of racism.

If these guys want really big laughs, we suggest just walk out on stage, look at the audience and say, “Joe Biden.”

We started laughing as we typed it.
