Both candidates were at the same charity event yesterday, and poked fun and themselves and each other. McCain spoke first, and introduced Obama. They each made some pretty funny jokes, but still showed a lot of respect for each other. You can see both their routines at this site:

I don't know how the rest of you feel about candidates making comedy appearances, but I think it serves one simple, but important, purpose. It gets out the message that what unites us as Americans is more important than that which divides us.
