Republicans and the Romney campaign are pushing the #NotFunny hashtag on Twitter in response to President Obama's appearance on Jimmy Fallon's show (Still image from RNC video) Presenting the Republican Party's newest poutrage: President Obama is too funny. You think I'm kidding, but I'm not. Republicans are actually attacking Obama's appearance yesterday on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, during which he and Fallon "slow jammed the news" to talk about the importance of reducing student loan interest rates.Republicans aren't attacking what Obama said, mind you. Earlier this week, Mitt Romney endorsed President Obama's position, giving them nothing of substance to attack. Instead, they are attacking for where he said it. Apparently, only lightweights go on late night television. You know, like when Mitt Romney talked about going on SNL last week. Or earlier in the campaign when he went on David Letterman's show and delivered a top 10 list.
To be fair to Mitt, he didn't talk about anything substantive on Letterman, and whoever wrote "M-I-double-tizzle" gave him a pretty funny line. And rumor has it a few people even laughed when he went on Jay Leno's show. So why their poutrage now? As Mitt Romney once said, isn't sauce for the goose good enough to be sauce for the gander?

Fox decides what's acceptable behavior for Obama, again. Fox Host: Obama "nutso" for "going on these comedy shows" http://t.co/...' @mmfa via HootSuite
