Inaugural ball humor

From WaPo (emphasis mine):

Though there was no official poem for the occasion, impressionist Rich Little, emceeing the Constitution Ball at the Hilton Washington, did provide a bit of inaugural doggerel.

The gist of it was: "Let's get together, let bitterness pass, I'll hug your elephant, you kiss my ass!" And the crowd went crazy.

They went nuts for an impersonator mouthing DU slogans?

My two favorite lines that I heard on the streets of DC:

Protester: "No money for the Parties-Send the money to the tsunami relief effort"

Texan in cowboy hat: "We could take the money from the CLINTON LIBRARY."
-------
Anti-fur protester yelling at woman in fur coat: “Draft Republicans first. Stop wearing Fur” (mixing protests, but…)

Woman: “I know, I know, but we’re Democrats DRESSED FOR WORK”

My favourite was when Rich Little impersonated Reagan at the Constitution Ball.

Sounding a lot like the old president, he recalled being asked whether the war on poverty was over. "Yes, and the poor lost," the Reagan voice said.
"They should have quit when they were ahead."

And the Republicans laughed and laughed...

Only thing worse than a sore loser...a moronic winner.
