they're definitely gonna offer him the number two spot on the ticket (Cheney)

"Earlier today, the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. was on lock down because someone heard gunshots coming from the parking lot. When the Capitol police heard this, they all said the same thing: 'Cheney.'" --Jay Leno

that almost sounds like an oxymoron (consolation prize)

"In political news, Hillary Clinton has been hinting that she and Barack Obama might share the Democratic ticket with her in the number one position. She feels Barack Obama deserves some sort of consolation prize for getting the most votes and being the most popular." --Jay Leno

"The Senate Intelligence Committee -- that almost sounds like an oxymoron -- released a report this week saying there's no evidence that Saddam Hussein had a relationship with al Qaeda. Thank God we found that out before we did something crazy." --Jay Leno

You do not want to be the poor man's Sammy Hagar (slavery leaves a mark)

"The race for the Democratic nomination moved yesterday to Mississippi where Senator Barack Obama defeated Senator Clinton by 61% to 37%. Second win in a row for Obama. Clearly gaining momentum. Major night for his campaign [on screen: montage of news anchors and pundits saying Obama's win was expected]. There you have it, if the media isn't surprised something is going to happen, it does not count. Actually, there was one shocking result [on screen: FNC's Sean Hannity saying, 'Nine to one African-Americans voted for Barack Obama. 76% of the white voters go for Hillary. What are we to make of those two things?] That slavery leaves a mark." --Jon Stewart

[On Bush saying Porter Goss 'led ably'] "Ouch. That guy must have sucked. I mean for god sakes, Mike Brown drowned New Orleans and he got 'heckuva job.' George Tenet thought WMDs were a slam dunk. He got the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Led ably? I think the last guy who was said to have led ably was Gary Cherone when he took over Van Halen. You do not want to be the poor man's Sammy Hagar." --Jon Stewart

"Meanwhile, on the Republican side, yesterday John McCain visited President George W. Bush to be passed the torch, a torch that the president most likely broke and crazy glued back together hoping no one would notice." --Jon Stewart

It must have been when they made slavery illegal in Mississippi all the way back in ... four weeks ago (Delusions)

A few years ago Tucker Carlson was a regular guest on a radio show called Bubba the Love Sponge.

Right now, many of them want to throw Tucker Carlson into a volcano. --Stephen Colbert

This week, it came out that one of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago buddies wrote him a policy pitch for the Department of Veterans Affairs, to which Trump responded, “Affairs? I’m In. In fact, I’m a veteran.” --Stephen Colbert

I find it weird that America confuses fixing a mistake with a happy ending (Have you tried pushing a bunch of sh*t off the table?)

“The surprise release of Adnan Syed, the subject of the hit true crime podcast Serial, after 22 years in prison. Syed had been sentenced to life in prison for the 1999 murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee; on Monday, a Baltimore judge ruled that the state violated its legal obligation to share exculpatory evidence with Syed’s defense and overturned his conviction. I know people are celebrating this, and I understand why, but I’m going to be honest with you, I find it weird that America confuses fixing a mistake with a happy ending. You know what I mean? Like ‘good news, we got out of Afghanistan’ – well, why were you there in the first place? ‘Good news, we got emergency water to Jackson, Mississippi’ – why do you need emergency water? What does it say about America that it takes a podcast to help free a man from prison? Because what I think it says is that either America needs to reform its justice system, or podcasts need to become part of the justice system.” —Trevor Noah

“It wasn’t Serial, or subsequent investigations into his case by the Undisclosed podcast or the 2019 documentary The Case Against Adnan Syed, that changed Syed’s fate. His case had come up for review to a prosecutor who used to be a public defender. That prosecutor dug deeper into the case file then she had to and found issues with the conviction, then asked the judge to vacate it. The prosecutor didn’t have to do any of that. She could’ve just said, ‘ah yeah, maybe it wasn’t a completely fair trial, but tough shit.’ But she said: ‘no, if we’re going to put somebody in prison, it has to be without any doubt.’ And that shows you the difference between a justice system that wants justice versus a system that just wants to put people in prison.” —Trevor Noah

Viewers at home saw him sitting there, doing nothing, and they thought maybe it was another terrorist attack (The co-pay is $47)

 

"President Bush didn't make the convention because the hurricane, Gustav, hit New Orleans, but actually didn't. Bush was at the Hurricane Command Center, taking credit for a perfect emergency response to a perfect non-emergency. Although he actually did cause some panic, because viewers at home saw him sitting there, doing nothing, and they thought maybe it was another terrorist attack." -Bill Maher

"Those two guys were up before the congressional Committee this week, which issued the report on Katrina, which lambasted the White House for wasting billions of dollars that was stolen, lost, we don't know where it is. Bush said history will call that a small price to pay if we wind up bringing democracy to Louisiana and it spreads to Mississippi and Florida." --Bill Maher

"This is the first convention I could remember, where they didn't say the name of the man who should be the titular head of the party. He is the president of the United States, George Bush. Except for the protestors outside, you never heard that name, or any reference to George Bush, except for the part about loving children with special needs." -Bill Maher
