Speaking at Stu Bykofsky’s annual “Candidates’ Comedy Night,” Barr brought down the house with a comedy routine riddled with local jabs, self-deprecation and even a few swipes at his opponents McCain and Obama.
“There are actually folks out there that think I don’t like John McCain,” jokes Barr. “That’s also untrue. I really appreciate him being in this race. Next to him, they think I’m the young guy.”
Barr’s routine lasted just under six minutes at the club, and according to host Stu Bykofsky, “he killed.”
No word on whether this had anything to do with Doug Stanhope’s aborted 2008 campaign for the Libertarian Presidential nomination.
WHAMMY!
according to host Stu Bykofsky, “he killed.â€
Too bad he didn’t commit suicide instead.
Yeah. I’m sure a guy who pays for his wife’s abortion is morally opposed to using curse words.
I wonder if Bob Barr has ever said “motherfucker†before. It’s a bit hard to picture.
Are you fuckin’ shitting me? Have you ever been drinking with politicians?
Maybe he could do a duet with Jesse Helms, for whom Barr said we should give thanks to God… They could do a cover of Chris Rock’s routine differentiating N-words from black people.

As for the comedy routine, Barr’s clearly nervous, and delivering too quickly, but he did an OK job.
Barr: Knock, Knock
Person: Who’s there?
Barr: It’s the state, motherfucker, open up and hand over your unapproved medicines!
Emphasis on “little”….
Anyone who thinks he was a wit, I’d say is about half right….

He was actually a little funny.
