Letterman and Leno Talk Oil Spill
May 14, 2010
David Letterman: "How about that oil spill in the gulf? They were going to put down what they called a containment platform, and they were going to lower it into the gulf. But that didn't work. So now, British Petroleum wants to try something else. It's a smaller containment device called the top hat. They get the top hat on the well, and then they're going to get John Wilkes Booth to shoot at it."
Jay Leno: "BP, Transocean and Halliburton are blaming each other for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. They are all right."
Jay Leno:"These people make Goldman Sachs look responsible, don't they?"
Jay Leno:"BP is going to try to stop the leak by pushing garbage into it. Oh, yeah, they haven't screwed up the gulf enough, let's fill it with garbage, too."
Jay Leno:"Well, the latest plan was to cover the leak with another concrete dome, a smaller one called a top hat. Who came up with this idea, Mr. Moneybags, from the Monopoly game? What's next, the giant thimble?"
