The Nixon-Lodge campaign has issued the following statement:

"It is unconscionable that the Democratic Party condones the 'blue' humor of monologist Alvy Singer, who, at a Democratic fund-raiser last night, said of an unnamed woman that he was 'trying to do to her what Eisenhower has been doing to the country for the last eight years.' We call on the Kennedy-Johnson campaign to repudiate such indecency, which weakens our moral fiber as we fight to overcome the global Communist menace."

Well, is that any sillier than the Bush-Cheney campaign's reaction to Whoopi?
