The best and worst of the Demers St. Pats breakfast

For the past couple of year politicians, journalists and lobbyists come together for the Demers Group fund-raiser.

The event is known for politicians making jokes about one another. Here is a rundown of the best jokes from the event.

Best jokes:

 

Gov. John Lynch: “Fergus is worried about Democrats sitting-in on Republican strategy meetings. If he wants to help Republicans, he’d keep Republicans out of their strategy meetings.”

 
Emcee WMUR's Scott Spradling lists, and sings, songs that various candidates will begin using.

 

- Hillary Clinton: "It’s my party, I'll cry if I want to"

- Obama: “Just wants to see the obama girl video over and over,”

- McCain: "When I’m 64."

- Kucinich: "Iimage all the people... voting just for me"

- Huckabee: "What if god was one of us."

- Spitzer: "Love don’t cost a thing."

- Hodes: "He told me all of you had this patchwork musical CD."

Shea-Porter: "Help, I need some money.

Guinta: "All I need is a miracle."

 
Senate President Sylvia Larsen took presidential slogans and applied them to local politicians. “Guinta for Governor: Hopeless,” “Clegg: Ready to feed.”

 
House Speaker Terie Norelli said about Clegg “I have to say Senator you’re not half the man Senator Gatsas is.

 
The joke that went flat went to Lynch: “Fergus (Cullen) has been trying to raise money for the Republican party, he’s so desperate he’s taken a second job as a nanny (few laughs)…my writers were on strike.”

Number of jokes about Clegg’s weight loss: 9.
