Is Your Senator Funny?


stereogum points to a fabulous prank by zug where adult John Hargrave posed as a 10 year-old boy, writing to U.S. Senators for their favorite jokes (click letter at right). The Senator Prank shows that Senator Ernest Hollings won't commit to a joke, that having someone write a handwritten response counts, and Senator Ben Nelson will share a sophisticated and unfunny Senator joke. Senator John Kerry sends in a joke too, and Senator Chuck Hagel sends a joke AND glamor shot. Gothamist is proud the say that NJ Senator Jon Corzine crafted (well, his intern or some such lackey) crafted an informative letter about NJ with what Hargrave thinks is the funniest joke.

I liked Rick Santorum's response: "Although a favorite joke does not immediately come to mind, I do enjoy laughing." Well, dang. I'm pretty sure that's a shout-out to Dan Savage.

Thanks To Dan Savage, I can't think about Santorum's name without cringing. Thx Dan!
