For instance, every time I replace the word 'hope' with 'sodomy,' oh, that is a PR nightmare (this sucker could go down)

President Bush spoke about the Wall Street bailout yesterday, and he said, this is the quote, 'if the money isn't loosened up, this sucker could go down.' So folks, if we know nothing else at this point, at least we know that President Bush is writing his own speeches." --Conan O'Brien

"Now, the highlight for many people last night was Michelle Obama's speech. Listen to the liberal media rave [on screen: Fox News' Chris Wallace and ex-White House adviser David Gergen praising the speech, which New York Times' David Brooks says no one could 'have a heart of stone' about]. Really? Did you see this? [on screen: Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol saying he found the speech 'generic')]. To be fair, Bill Kristol does not actually have a heart of stone. He has a heart made of Dick Cheney's discarded heart parts. Fortunately, Kristol was not the only commentator who saw through Michelle Obama's facade of warmth, competence and likability. So did Fox News's Megan Kelly [on screen: Kelly interviewing Howard Wolfson over Obama's speech, if you replace her use of the word 'world' with 'country'']. Exactly. Whenever I replace words in Michelle Obama's speech with other words, I am very offended. For instance, every time I replace the word 'hope' with 'sodomy,' oh, that is a PR nightmare." --Stephen Colbert
