It’s not a knee-slapper. More the kind of subtle dig that says volumes about what the author thinks of the candidate’s campaign chances. Indirect humor.
Of course, I also like the direct, full-bore, knee-slapping kind…
Brad, guessing you were aware of this already:

LOL
I especially love the one for Perry — which was also a pretty good song from Britney…
That song was so good that Richard Thompson included it in “1000 Years of Popular Music,” his Top Ten of the Millennium album…
Not that I agree with Thompson’s choices on that list.
I mean, how could he leave off “Greensleeves”?
Ah, I just found Thompson’s explanation of that:
OK. So really, it wasn’t supposed to BE a Top Ten list, even by his own standards. It was more of a snobbish attempt to impress with his deep knowledge of musical arcana. Like Barry in “High Fidelity”…
I’d love to see a REAL Top Ten list of the millennium, compiled by someone who knows what he’s about. That would be worth seeing, and listening to…
Just no sentimental tacky crap. Do we look like the kind of store that sells “I Just Called to Say I Love You”?
Go to the mall.
