Immediately after Mayor Juli?n Castro's keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention this week, political pundits on both sides of the aisle provided instant analysis of What It All Means.
It took the nation's comedians a little longer to weigh in.
Jimmy Fallon, impersonating Castro, ?Late Night with Jimmy Fallon?:
?America is the land of opportunity, and my journey thus far has taken me all over this great country. Except Arizona; they don't let me in there. There's actually a sign outside the state that says, ?You must be this white to get in.'? ... ?I think Mitt is a good guy. Last week in Tampa I ran into Mitt and he looked me square in the eyes and he told me, ?What are you doing here, Manuel? You're supposed to be in Martha's Vineyard cleaning the pool before Ann and the kids get home.'?
Headline in satirical newspaper The Onion:
?DNC Keynote Speaker Definitely Not Keynote Speaker Only Because He's Latino?
Jon Stewart, ?The Daily Show?:
?How effortlessly diverse is the Democratic Party? Remember the fuss at the RNC over rising Latino star Marco Rubio? Well the Democrats have not only a rising Latino star in San Antonio Mayor Juli?n Castro, they have an extra one of him in case he breaks.?
Jay Leno, ?The Tonight Show with Jay Leno?:
?And in his speech last night, San Antonio Mayor Juli?n Castro said that Mitt Romney has no idea how good he's had it. See, I don't think that's true. I think Mitt Romney knows how good he's had it. He just doesn't want us to know how good he's had it.?
Stephen Colbert, ?The Colbert Report?:
?Two Castros? Can we now end the debate on whether the Dems are socialist, please??
Whoopi Goldberg, ?The View?:
?San Antonio Mayor Juli?n Castro's speech had the crowd on their feet last night, but his 3-year-old daughter Carina Victoria almost stole the entire show. Did you see her preening for the cameras? (video clip of Carina flipping her hair) She is working it. She knows. Adorable. She was like, ?Yes, you on me, baby!'?
Sinbad, comedian:
?Juli?n Castro, mayor of San Antonio, you are going to be our first Latin president. I am calling that now. I love that young man.?
Headline, Comedy Central's Indecision website:
?Meet Mayor Juli?n Castro, DNC Keynote Speaker and Future President?
Sample items from the Comedy Central report:
?He's a graduate of Stanford, and like Obama, Harvard Law School. So Breitbart.com probably has a video of him giving a terrorist hug to a liberal professor.?
?He doesn't speak Spanish well, but studied Latin and Japanese in school, like a snob.?
