DEL.ICIO.USFo’ shizzle: Bob Barr turns into a stand-up kind of guy
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
During a tour of Pennsylvania this week, Libertarian candidate Bob Barr — the grim-faced, humor-challenged former prosecutor — was apparently hard up for venues that also offered a crowd.
He became the headline act at a “Candidates Comedy Night” put on by Philadelphia Daily News columnist Stu Bykofsky.
This was the best part of the former Georgia congressman’s five-minute act:
“There’s also folks out there that think liberals don’t like me. Barack Obama likes me more than he likes basketball. In fact, the first call I get every morning is from Barack Obama, making sure that I’m okay.”
Barr mimicked a phone call, with a thumb to his ear and little finger to his mouth.
“‘Hello, Barack. Yeah, I’m fine. Thank you. I just got the Ludacris CDs. Yeah, man. They’re very shizzle. Barack, yes, I promise you I’m going to stay in this race ‘til November.’”

Bob Barr has been hanging out with the folks at the Marijuana Policy Project. I hear he may be on tour with Cheech and Chong.

I like Bob Barr more every day. Not only is he funnier than I thought he would be, he is an advocate for the Constitution.
