It is not okay to laugh at this. (But we both know that you will.)
Now before any of you Wiccans start getting all worked up for no good reason, let me say that in this context we are talking about mean evil, movie witches. Not nurturing, free spirited practitioners of Wicca.
By the way I dated a Wiccan once and she was delightful.
And she only turned me into a frog once. (Just kidding!)
I have to imagine that if Sarah Palin were a witch she would look much like this.
(You know when she takes off her glasses it really DOES change her looks!)

I know I promised this yesterday but I done runned out of time. So let me present the Daily Show's Iowa Candidate Tent coverage.
Personally I think it is still funny even on a Saturday morning.
(If the video won't play just click here.)

Republicans hire Obama impersonator to belittle the President, only to escort him off stage when he turns on them.
Courtesy of Sarah Jones over at Politicususa:
Video surfaced today of the Republicans kicking Reggie Brown, their Obama impersonator, off the stage at the Republican Leadership Conference after he made fun of their candidates. I confess that I’ve been struggling to understand what passes for Republican humor ever since we found out that they think Colbert is a conservative and tried to claim “Obama Waffles” “Barack the Magic Negro” and “Watermelon White House” were “satire”.
I’m still befuddled after watching this video, because they were gettin’ a good laugh on as Reggie mocked Obama’s race and birthplace but they got all button down upset when Reggie went for the Obamneycare.
See, it’s rip roarin’ funny when the impersonator goes after Obama, talks about race endlessly, and equates Obama with the Kardashians. I’d grade this sort of low level base humor on par with what I expected from my nephew when he was in Junior High, but I’ll note that even my small town nephew with a big heart got the cruelty of such jokes by the time he reached the ripe age of 13. Happiest laughter at Anthony Weiner jokes — this coming from a party chock full of elected officials who have committed actual sex crimes and remain in office, self-awareness clearly not in evidence in New Orleans this night.
When do they get offended? When the humor is directed at their candidates, of course.
At has been pointed out repeatedly that the Republicans just don't get humor. So they hire a rather juvenile comedian because he sounds like Obama and often mocks him in his act, but have no idea that this guy makes jokes that also target their own candidates.
When they realize that his jokes have more than just a grain of truth in them about the GOP field they quickly have him escorted offstage by an old white guy.
Of course having Obama pushed off stage by an old white guy is EXACTLY the kind of wet dream that most of the GOP have every night anyway.
