Forget The VP Slot—Is Romney Aiming For A Comedy Career?

If last year's Radio and Television Correspondents' Association Dinner went down in history as the night when old-school hip-hop artist "MC Rove" gave his first and only cringe-worthy performance, this year's event will be remembered for solid routines from a couple of unlikely comedians.

CBS News Director of Political Coverage Steve Chaggaris hosted the annual event in Washington last night, which featured guest appearances from "Sunday Morning" contributor Mo Rocca and Vice President Cheney.

Cheney got off one of the better lines of the night when he said, "Of course there are two Democrats running and they're still hopelessly divided over who's the real uniter, and you in the press need to go easy on Senator Clinton on the whole business about running and ducking from gunfire in Bosnia. She made an honest mistake. She confused the Bosnia trip with the time I took her hunting."

But it was another politician with a reputation for rigidity who stole the show.

Chaggaris was in the middle of sharing his reflections on the presidential campaign when a tall figure crept up from behind him.

"That's odd," Chaggaris deadpanned. "I mean, I'm wondering why there's a cardboard cutout of Mitt Romney behind me."

It actually was the former Massachusetts governor, who then stepped up to the podium.

"I see I'm getting the same kind of coverage on CBS I used to get," Romney shot back.

The former GOP presidential candidate then went into a top ten list of why he decided to get out of the race. Romney is known for many things, but standup comedy is not among them, so it was a surprise to many in the audience when his list turned out to be very funny indeed. Watch the video below.
