The 6 best jokes at the Gridiron Club dinner [View all]

http://time.com/3745146/gridiron-club-dinner-jokes-obama-walker/

Here, in one attendee’s assessment, are the six best jokes in the night’s speeches:

1. “If I did not love America, I wouldn’t have moved here from Kenya.” –Obama, on Rudy Giuliani’s claim that he doesn’t “love America”

2. “That’s gravity for you, or as Scott Walker calls it, ‘the theory of gravity.'” –McAuliffe on his own recent fall from a horse, referencing Walker’s refusal to say if he believed in evolution

3. “Just a few years ago…I was the young tech-savvy candidate of the future. Now I’m yesterday’s news, and Hillary’s got a server in her house. I didn’t even know you could have one of those. I am so far behind.” –Obama on the Hillary Clinton email controversy

4. “Pretty soon, the only person reporting to Valerie Jarrett will be President Obama.” –Walker on the number of staffers leaving the White House

5. “Bill O’Reilly tried to be here, but he was pinned down by enemy fire.” –McAuliffe, adding that O’Reilly’s ride to the event was supposed to be Brian Williams

6. “I want to acknowledge the leader of the House Republicans, as soon as I figure out who that is.” –Obama on Speaker John Boehner’s recent challenges
