From a reader:
Dear Jonah,
Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien and John Stewart and that guy who sleeps with his staffers can’t get a lot of laughs with TARP jokes. They WILL get a lot of laughs with this Olympian failure. It’s too obvious of a target for them to ignore. And that’s why it was an error on President Obama’s part. His political capital diminishes every time he’s the butt of talk show humor.
