Who’s The Leader of China?
I am a big fan of classic comedy. I could argue and prove that the lamest Three Stooges or Marx Brothers’ routine is still better than anything done by the new crop of comedians ripped out of Saturday Night Live.
One of my favorite comedic scenes is in the Pink Panther when Inspector Clouseau is holding a vacuum cleaner hose in his hands and you see a parrot in a cage. You just know that the parrot is going to somehow end up in the vacuum cleaner, but it takes several minutes of pure unadulerated hilarity before it does.
Genius. Pure absolute genius. Blake Edwards should have committed ritual suicide after directing that movie because nothing he did after it ever came close to matching that level of hilarity.
One of the best comedy routines ever – period – is Abbot and Costello’s “Who’s on first” routine (link). Well, here’s a worthy successor brought to you by the lunatic at Democrats Give Conservatives Indigestion via the Pirate-King.
We Take You Now to the Oval Office (link)
George: Condi! Nice to see you. What’s happening?
Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.
George: Great. Lay it on me.
Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.
George: That’s what I want to know.
Condi: That’s what I’m telling you.
George: That’s what I’m asking you. Who is the new leader of China?
Condi: Yes.
George: I mean the fellow’s name.
Condi: Hu.
George: The new leader of China.
Condi: Hu.
George: The Chinaman!
Condi: Hu is leading China.
