Cut-up Corzine Considers Comedy Club Contract

Just kidding. It’s Super Bowl Sunday – we’re in a good mood, so we thought we’d share a little of Jon Corzine’s humor with you – article here – quips below.

“Frankly, sharing a media market with Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is like sharing a banana with a monkey,” Corzine told the black tie audience. “Take a little bite of it and he will throw his own feces at you.”

Corzine also skated on thin ice with a joke about the sex life of Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.). Combining references to President Bush decrying steroid abuse by athletes, in his State of the Union speech, and Bob Dole’s TV ads for Viagra, he said if anyone in that room was “benefiting from performance-enhancing drugs, it’s Elizabeth Dole.”

We’ll bet Senators Schumer and Dole got a good laugh out of those lines. You can tell a lot about a person from their sense of humor can’t you? Well it’s been nearly a year since “cut-up” Corzine made his little jokes – so perhaps all is forgiven. Then again, there is that little matter of a cut to New Jersey’s Homeland Security funds.
