Quite possibly, the funniest news to come out of the WGA strike – Gilbert Gottfried is more popular than John Edwards:

The problem for Edwards is that when the “working people” are stars of stage and screen–or snarky New York scribes–it’s hard to make much of an impact. I stood with two comedy writers, one from the Colbert Report and one from SNL. They weren’t impressed. To put it mildly. “He looked shiny and boyish,” one said. “Yay for canceled appearances,” said the other, mocking Edwards’ boast that he was skipping “Ellen” and “The View.” Then they went off looking for Gilbert Gottfried, who was rumored to be in attendance.
