A joke Kimmel didn't tell
Jimmy Kimmel told Howard Stern a joke he decided not to use at the White House Correspondents' Dinner -- "I had some jokes about -- like Rick Santorum. I said something like -- well, I didn't say it, but: Newt Gingrich's campaign is so dead Mitt Romney wants to baptize it and Rick Santorum wants to put it in a jar and show it to his kids."
Good decision .. it's clever and all, but to refer to a dead child .. crass and tasteless.
But the interesting thing is -- how bizarre that the, uh, personal belief system of these two men even allowed Kimmel to construct such a joke.
Hey, you never know with righties -- the Santorums thought it was perfectly okay to let their kids see their stillborn sibling .. and Barbara Bush apparently thought it was fine to let her son see her miscarried fetus, which she kept in a jar.
Who am I to judge?
