Political Funnies
The Presidential campaign always brings a lot of political humor. At a time when the whole world is watching the election season in the United States proceed, the late-night talk show hosts are getting plenty of new material from all the political funnies on the campaign trail.
"Republicans are blaming Nancy Pelosi for the bailout not going through. And Democrats are blaming it on an incomplete proposal by the Republicans. John McCain is blaming Barack Obama. Barack Obama is blaming John McCain. And Sarah Palin is praying nobody asks her what's going on."
-Jay Leno, NBC's "Tonight" show.(1)
"In an interview, Barack Obama forgot which wedding anniversary he celebrates this year. Michelle Obama just changed their slogan from `yes we can' to `yes you can ... sleep on the couch.'"
Craig Ferguson, CBS' "Late Late Show."
"Earlier today, John McCain and Sarah Palin introduced their new `just say no' program. McCain told Sarah Palin, if a reporter asks you any questions, just saw `no.'"
Jay Leno, "Tonight" show.
"How about this — yesterday the stock market ... suffered its biggest one-day drop in history, 777 points. Whoa, I mean, that's straight down. Stock market dropped 777 points. And, I mean, I'm telling you, boy, it's a good thing John McCain blew me off to go save the economy."
David Letterman, "Late Show."
So with all this hysteria on the late-night airwaves, it's safe to say that we'll continue to hear the hilarious talk show jabs and jokes in earnest in the month of October.
