It's high time to get off that road, even at the cost of making a little funny.

WOW, a bit touchy aren't we. Letterman pokes fun at everyone, and Bush and Cheney regularly make jokes at Kerry's expense. Bush is a big boy and can handle himself. In fact, I bet Bush thought it was funny too. You see, he actually has a sence of humor and is comfortable making fun of himself. See the following excerpt from his Convention speech:
BUSH: You may have noticed I have a few flaws, too. People sometimes have to correct my English.

I knew I had a problem when Arnold Schwarzenegger started doing it.

Some folks look at me and see a certain swagger, which in Texas is called "walking."

Now and then I come across as a little too blunt, and for that we can all thank the white-haired lady sitting right up there.
(LAUGHTER)
Let's be honest, this election has been longer, harder and fiercer than any in recent memory. A little humor can only do us come good.
