Simply pairing stock criticisms of Obama with dance moves doesn't constitute a joke.

This video by the conservative pundit Michelle Malkin is making the rounds, as they say. Why is unclear -- if you can explain what's funny about it, I'd love to hear.

First, the background: Malkin's video is a parody of a bit that Jimmy Fallon and First Lady Michelle Obama made last week, called "The Evolution of Mom Dancing." To be honest, it's not that funny either. The premise is that moms tend to dance in a less-than-hip fashion; the gag is that the "dance moves" are a pairing of outdated motions -- "Raise the Roof!", "Out of Sync Electric Slide" -- with Things That Moms Do: "Go Shopping, Get Groceries"; "Where's Your Father? (Get Him Back Here!)" That's mildly amusing, as is the sight of Fallon done up like a suburban soccer mom.

The Malkin video, though: What's going on here? It's just a litany of shots at Democrats or Obama, with Malkin herself dancing in front of an orange screen. Samples: "Raise the Debt Ceiling," "Grab Your Wallet," the "Golfing Man." The president's affection for golf is well-known, and it's certainly possible to make a good political joke about it. Here's one. Here's another. (Both are by Nate Beeler of the Washington Examiner.) But simply pointing out that Obama likes to golf is not a joke. It is an observation.
