Comedians still avoiding Obama

Now that a trifecta of juicy scandals has arrived on Obama’s White House doorstep, the jibes are becoming a bit more pointed. But David Letterman of CBS is still shying away from Obama material. Last night, he even addressed the issue:

People always say this to me, they say, “Hey, Letterman,” they say. “Why don’t you make jokes about Obama?” And I say, “All right, I’ll tell you why. Good question. Oh, you want to know why? Okay. I don’t make jokes about him because I don’t want the FBI tapping my phone, my phone. That’s why.”
