John Hodgman Asks Obama, "Are You a Nerd?"

Hugh Pickens writes "Watch a video of comedian John Hodgman speak after Barack Obama at the recent Radio and Television Correspondents Association dinner in DC and discuss the central question of our age: "how we can heal the great and shameful division that has plagued our nation for so long — the age old conflict between jocks and nerds" and ask Obama: Are you now, or have you ever been, a nerd?"

I can't help but think that Clinton's disposition for sexually harassing ugly girls and getting blow jobs from fat chicks might have lessened our respect for the office a bit. Sure, JFK was a philanderer too, but he had much better taste in women, and the press had the good sense not to report it.
And of course we can't forget Obama -- I hear rumors he's been sleeping with a Black chick!

Hello? Anybody out there ever heard of Thomas Jefferson?

Geeky he may be, but he'll still be known first and foremost as our first slave-banger President.

(and incidentally, Idle formatting has been fucked up for how long now and still hasn't been fixed?)

Can't you be both at the same time? Or does it go against your culture of pigeonholing in which you're either a nerd or a jock, or also in Obama's case a black man or a white man (I'm bringing it up because in America Obama is referred to as a black man, whereas in France he's referred to as being mixed race).
