David Letterman: “A lot of things on sale on Columbus Day. … You can get a good deal on a dining room set, mattresses, General Motors.”
David Letterman: “President Bush, I think he said this in his weekly radio address, he said about the economic crisis, President Bush said, ‘It’s a good thing I’m in charge.’ And I know that’s what we’re all thinking.”
David Letterman: “But Bush…says he’s going to tweak the financial package. He’s going to tweak the financial bailout. That’s what he’s doing now. He’s tweaking that financial bailout. That’s like the captain of the Titanic tweaking the brunch menu.”
David Letterman: “Bush…is trying to reassure Americans that things are going to get better soon. And I was thinking well sure, in three months he’ll be out of office.”
David Letterman: “You can tell every now and then that” Sarah Palin “spends a lot of time in Alaska, because” after “she dropped the first puck” at the hockey game, she cut “a hole in the ice and began to fish.”
David Letterman: “The third presidential debate is Wednesday night,” and “John McCain says he’s going to win. … Of course, he also told Custer the surge was working.”
Conan O’Brien: “This weekend, the leaders of the world’s richest countries got together to discuss the global economic meltdown. … President Bush wanted to go to the meeting, but after last week the US is no longer one of the world’s richest countries.”
