Arlen Specter Trades Town Halls for Comedy House




Arlen Specter has been in the midst of controversy for much of the year, having famously switched parties back in April and, most recently, been on the receiving end of angry constituents at a health care town hall.

Which would make one think that the Pennsylvania Democrat would want to stay out of the limelight during his down time. No chance. Specter, a huge fan of stand up comedy, recently took to the stage at the Pittsburgh Improv for a charity event.

Much of the routine was actually pretty innocuous, poking fun at deceased or retired politicians such as Strom Thurmond and Trent Lott. He did, however, get in a little jab at Sarah Palin.
