He’s the Ass.

I missed this earlier this week.

At tonight’s Congressional Correspondents Dinner, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., didn’t get the laughs he was looking for with a poke at Vice President Joe Biden. According to attendees, McCarthy joked that President Barack Obama’s selection of Biden as a veep was confirmation that Obama is, in fact, the Messiah he is so often called … (winding up to his punchline) … because everyone knows the Messiah comes in riding on an “ass.”

Cue the crickets. What is it with Republicans and humor? They suck at it.
