Where is Andy McCarthy and What Have You Done With Him?

Andy McCarthy, best known (to us) as the guy who thinks Obama didn't write his own memoirs, observes that his idiot colleagues lack the capacity to take a joke unless it involves bashing the French -- exs. 1, 2, 3 -- and snaps:

The Nancy Reagan Jab [Andy McCarthy]
C'mon folks, let's not be a bunch of mirthless wusses here. Mark Steyn's cover story for NR's April 21 edition on Mrs. Obama's America was laugh out loud stuff, and we all howled over the unintentionally hysterical New Yorker cover that depicted Michelle as a militant. First families and their eccentricities, real or imagined, have never been off-limits. What Obama said, whether you think it was funny or not (I thought it was kinda funny) was not offensive — it didn't come close to John McCain's infamous joke (at a 1998 fundraiser) at Chelsea Clinton's expense, and I don't recall too many protests around here about our candidate's occasional low-brow jape.


Oh my. Saturday at The Corner should be a hoot.
