Late-nite comedy
Aug 22, 2008
Jay Leno: “And Barack Obama now says he’s
open to offshore oil drilling. So, apparently, when he promised change,
he was talking about his mind.”
Jay Leno: “Well, John McCain’s daughter
is now writing a children’s book based on her father’s life.
See, the research has been difficult because, as you know, much of McCain’s
early life story is only available through folklore.”
Jay Leno: “And there’s a new movie opening
this week called ‘What We Do Is A Secret,’ which I think was
John Edwards’ campaign slogan once.”
Jay Leno: “Analysts say a weak economy is causing
less energy use, resulting in falling oil prices. So basically, the worse
the economy is, the lower the oil prices, to which Bush said, ‘That’s
been my energy plan all along!’ This guy is a genius!”
Conan O’Brien: “Today, the moderators were
announced for the upcoming presidential debates. … Apparently, Barack
Obama insisted on someone who asks even-handed, probing questions, while
John McCain insisted on someone who will talk into his good ear.”
Conan O’Brien: “John McCain does not want
Dick Cheney to attend the Republican convention, because he says he’s
too unpopular. … When asked to comment, Cheney said, ‘I hope
the Senator reconsiders.’ Then he turned into a bat and flew away.”
