Seriously lame, the joke was about as bad as yours are true, but it was a joke. When did joke accuracy become more important than news story accuracy? Shoot, when did historical perfection become important to jokes at all?
What the heck is up lately? He tells a joke and the first thing people do is look up a birth date to verify accuracy of a birth date, then everybody jumps on somebody who points out it was just a joke that didn't need historical perfection?
It doesn't make the joke less or more funny if the birth date is right.
