Brarack Obama rocked on "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" this morning

Yall West coasters, make sure you turn on "Wait Wait" on NPR for a sampling from one of the smartest guys in the Senate.

1. He was so funny.

And he did a good job, getting 2 out of 3 right. The celebrity guest usually does a terrible job and the poor contestant doesn't get Karl Kassel's voice on their answering machine.

2. I really liked that his Senate desk used to belong to RFK & Wellstone

That's gotta be one of the classiest desks in the building... right behind the one John Quincy Adams died in.

3. Thanks for the heads up

I'm on the East Coast but my affiliate airs it at noontime. I was on the phone and would have missed it otherwise.

4. ya he was funny,,

esp about wade bogg`s "girlfriend"

[Bucky]

5. That was weird stuff. Who calls their girldfriend a "mistress" anymore?

But yep, Boggs was one weird dude.

6. I turned it on right when he was on

Usually I don't listen to Wait, Wait, I tune into Whaddya Know instead, but I sure stayed and listened to Barak. He was great. Very funny.

His objection to 8th grade graduations is right on. I signals that the students completed something, when they haven't. All the money spent on ballons, etc could be used to teach the students.
