Press Release:
WASHINGTON, DC - TV comedians have joked about Hillary Clinton almost as often as all the other Democratic presidential candidates combined, according to a new study by the Center for Media and Public Affairs. The main targets of their humor were Sen. Clinton’s personal appearance and her chilly personality. The study also found that Democratic candidates were joked about more than Republicans.
The study analyzed all jokes from January 1 through October 10 in monologues by Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien on NBC, David Letterman on CBS, and John Stewart, and Stephen Colbert on "Comedy Central." According to CMPA President Dr. S. Robert Lichter, "The jokes about Ms. Clinton make fun of her inadequacies as a woman. They seem to suggest that she’s not man enough to be president"
