Political jokes -- ba dum ching!
Unlike comedians, politicians don't have to be good at telling jokes. But that doesn't stop them from trying.
Minutes before Mayor Don Kurth gave his State of the City address yesterday, Russ Warner, a perennial candidate for Congress told me his chiropractor is Councilman Dennis Michael's wife, Regina Holt-Michael. Warner was recently in her office where he had his leg worked on.
"I said to Dennis, 'Your wife was pulling my leg the other day,' " Warner said.
I hope the councilman laughed because I didn't.
Later, Kurth took a stab with a Pacific Electric Trail joke.
"The Pacific Electric Trail project goes hand in hand -- or should I say foot in foot, pedal to pedal, or hoof to hoof? -- with another long awaited public infrastructure project: the improvement of Foothill Boulevard between Grove and Vineyard avenues," Kurth said.
Nope. "Hand in hand" is good.

I never heard any talk about Kurth or Warner taking over for Conan, and this may explain it.
