The photo above — the visual joke to the President’s line at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner that Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) had recently named a high school in Obama’s honor — was, by and large, the only mildly amusing moment from Obama’s remarks<\/a>. And even that one required you to pause the DVR to appreciate in full. (“Home of the “Fighting Chomskys'” is an instant classic, as far as I’m concerned.)<\/p>\n

Beyond that, the President, who is normally very<\/i> good and very<\/i> funny at these things — his delivery and timing are, more often than not, pretty damn hilarious — was far off his game on Saturday night. Chalk it up, perhaps, to jet lag after his week long Asia swing. <\/p>\n

That said, in comparison to the disaster of “comedian” Joel McHale’s painfully unfunny<\/a> string of read-off-a-piece-of-paper, knee-jerk one-liners that followed, Obama was a comic genius!<\/p>\n

So, if you didn’t slog through the hours of unedited CSPAN coverage of “#Nerdprom”<\/a> on Saturday as we did (you’re welcome!), rest easy that you didn’t miss much.<\/p>\n

The only thing definitely<\/i> worth catching, aside from the photo above, was the killer<\/i> funny video package featuring Vice President Joe Biden and VEEP<\/i> star Julia Louis-Dreyfus, whose titular character on the HBO series has just announced her run for President.<\/p>\n

That<\/i> video, with some pretty hilarious moments — including several very funny cameos and a ton of priceless, spot-on Bidenisms — is really the only thing worth catching up on from the otherwise dreadful affair on Saturday night. <\/p>\n

So, here ya go! This version has bonus footage on top of what aired Saturday night. Again, you’re welcome. And enjoy!…<\/p>\n
