Finally there will be somebody in the tank who will stop and ask for directions (Hosni W. Mubarak)


"Women serving in the United States military will now be serving in combat. Finally there will be somebody in the tank who will stop and ask for directions." –David Letterman


"The good news is that Hosni Mubarak may step down. The bad news is that he may be replaced by his idiot son Hosni W. Mubarak." –David Letterman

notorious for being under control (Mama Bear for Oligarchs)

 

"Kind of a sad study out today that single women over the age of 35 are more likely to be shot by the vice president Dick Cheney than to find a husband." --Jimmy Kimmel


"The Chinese government claims that it has the smog that Beijing is ‘notorious for being under control’, but here's how bad it really is. They say if Snoop Dogg rolled down the window of his limo, smoke would pour in." --Jimmy Kimmel

a Presbyterian standing in a group of Methodists (Which one is closer to God?)


"Mitt Romney threw in the monogrammed towel. That leaves McCain and Huckabee. The old guy and the preacher. Which brings up the philosophical question: Which one is closer to God?" --Jay Leno

 

"President Bush arrived in Beijing earlier today. Again, I don't think he really understands the Olympics that well. Like, they asked him if he liked the decathlon, and he said, no, he preferred regular coffee." --Jay Leno


"I don't know if you noticed this, but at the GOP convention, the cameramen are desperately trying to find minorities in the audience they could zoom in on, 'cause this is what they do. Finally, after an hour, they found one. It was a Presbyterian standing in a group of Methodists." --Jay Leno


"As you all know by now, Barack Obama sent out a cell phone text message at 3 a.m. on Saturday morning to tell everyone he picked Joe Biden as his vice president. How do you think this makes Hillary Clinton feel, huh? Finally, she gets a telephone call at 3 a.m., it's to tell her they picked Joe Biden." --Jay Leno

For two of the turns he didn’t even use a ski pole (chilly willy)


February 2022

“And finally, an athlete from Finland told reporters over the weekend that after competing in the men’s 50-kilometer cross-country ski race at the Beijing Games, his penis was, quote, ‘a little bit frozen’ — though just because he needed an excuse after he was caught ‘warming it up.’” —Seth Meyers

“Or as it’s known by its official medical diagnosis: chilly willy.” —Stephen Colbert

“Lindholm’s frosty groin was so bad, after the race, he had to use a heat pack to try to thaw out his appendage. OK, you gotta do it. Remember, never let your penis defrost on the counter. Put it in a bowl of water in the fridge — salmonella.” —Stephen Colbert


“Now if this all sounds painful, yes. As Lindholm said, “When the body parts started to warm up after the finish, the pain was unbearable.’ As opposed to ‘bearable’ frozen penis?” —Stephen Colbert

“People could tell something was wrong when he was doing a hand stand under the hand dryers in the men’s room. Thank god he’s an Olympian, because I wouldn’t have the hand strength.” —Jimmy Fallon

“I feel for the guy, though. He’s training for years and now that’s what comes up when you Google him, you know what I’m saying?” —Jimmy Fallon

“He used it to his advantage, though. For two of the turns he didn’t even use a ski pole.” —Jimmy Fallon

Yes, a signaling war, just like in that famous movie: Semaphoring Private Ryan (honk the national anthem)


February 2022

“Russia has claimed that they are withdrawing some of its 150,000 troops from the border of Ukraine. Nato promptly disputed that claim, and if you’re feeling confused, that’s on purpose. Because according to the experts, the US and Russia are waging a signaling war to avert an actual war. Yes, a signaling war, just like in that famous movie: Semaphoring Private Ryan.” —Stephen Colbert

“In other Russia news, one of its elite figure skaters, 15-year-old Kamila Valieva, tested positive for a banned substance before the Winter Olympics in Beijing. Fifteen-year-olds on drugs should not be in the Olympics. They should be on Euphoria. Facing international outrage, Valieva claimed the drug got in her system via a mix-up with her grandfather’s heart medication. Yes, come on, you know how it goes! You’re in the kitchen and all of a sudden you trip and fall on to your grandpa’s day-of-the-week pill case. Now all of a sudden you’re skating around high on a cocktail of Centrum, Lipitor and Viagra.” —Stephen Colbert

“Because she is 15, Valieva is protected from certain sanctions, allowing her to still compete in the individual figure skating competition. They didn’t have a choice! If they didn’t allow her to skate, Putin would’ve just rolled her out there on a tank.” —Stephen Colbert

“On Thursday, Valieva faltered in her free skate program, dashing her hopes for a medal. But if she had finished in the top three, no medal ceremony would have been held for the event. They’ll just ship the medals out to whoever won them later, because every athlete trains their entire life for that magic moment when they can stand at attention on their stoop waiting for the UPS guy. Maybe ask the driver to honk the national anthem.” —Stephen Colbert

It was a joint Navy Seals/People's Bank of China/grandchildren operation (Hillary's Bad Memory)


"Sarah Palin said Obama should stop 'pussyfooting around' and release the photos. Yes, because the guy who ordered the SEALs into a sovereign country without permission and killed public enemy number one is a pussy, and the woman who quit her job as the governor of a state with no people after half a term and won't do an interview with anyone but Greta Van Susteren is a bad-ass. Right." –Bill Maher

"Stop saying 'we' got Osama. 'We' didn't do anything. ‘We' were watching 'Celebrity Apprentice' and eating Funions in our sweatpants. Seal Team 6 did the killing, with money we borrowed from Beijing; that our grandchildren will have to pay back. So it was a joint Navy Seals/People's Bank of China/grandchildren operation." –Bill Maher

"They say the Navy Seals had attack dogs with titanium fangs; that they replaced their real teeth with titanium. You know you have a badass black president when even his dogs have a grill." –Bill Maher

other than that, they say the trip went very well/tequila of mass destruction/General Tso, I love your chicken


President Bush arrived in Beijing earlier today. And before stepping out of the plane, he tested the air with a canary. But they got together, the Chinese, and threw a big state dinner for President Bush in his honor. They served Peking lame duck. And President Bush, he doesn’t know what he’s doing over there. He turned to the president of China, and he said, 'General Tso, I love your chicken.'" --David Letterman

"You can understand why this lawyer fellow let his guard down with Cheney, because if you're out hunting with a politician, you think, 'If I'm going to get it, it's going to be in the back.'" –Craig Ferguson

"Speaking of President Bush, right now he's in Cancun, Mexico. He's down there looking for tequila of mass destruction." --David Letterman

"Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton was in Indiana trying to get more people there to like her. She claims to have taken some incoming sniper fire at the Indianapolis airport baggage carousel, but other than that, they say the trip went very well." --Jimmy Kimmel

General Tso, I love your chicken (So finally some good news)


"The economy is in big trouble, but the Bush administration is now running it. So finally some good news." --David Letterman

"President Bush right now is in India. He's in India. So it's comforting to know that Quick-Draw Cheney has his finger on the button." --David Letterman

"Bush is committed to one thing, he's going to disarm Iran, he's going to disarm Korea, and he's going to disarm Cheney." --David Letterman

General Tso, I love your chicken/no-room-for-error crisis/So finally some good news


"As if all this news is not bad enough, today, President Bush announced he's on the case. Because if there's one name that comes to mind when you're in a no-room-for-error crisis, it's George Bush." --Bill Maher

Obama was reportedly angry about the claim, but didn’t say exactly why (Just make sure not to get any mist in your eyes or lungs)



"While she was addressing the crowd, Sarah Palin spent a lot of time criticizing Barack Obama's campaign speeches for not having enough specifics. Obama was reportedly angry about the claim, but didn’t say exactly why." --Conan O'Brien
Olympics start tomorrow in Beijing. People still concerned about the air quality. Earlier this week this is a true story a member of the International Olympic Committee said that the smog in Beijing isn’t pollution; its mist. Then, he said, 'Just make sure not to get any mist in your eyes or lungs.'" --Conan O'Brien

So you want to be a conservative? (That's more Satan's area)



"Tough day for the Bush administration. A guy named Claude Allen has been arrested and charged in Maryland with swindling Target and some other department stores out of refunds. He allegedly made off without about $5000 or so which is officially the smallest amount of money ever stolen by a Republican." --Jimmy Kimmel
"She said at her church, Governor Palin, said she asked everyone to pray for a natural gas pipeline, which she said was Gods will. And today, God said, "Hey lady, I don't deal with oil companies. That's more Satan's area.'" --Jay Leno

A car, a knife and a hammer (Pope Francis is missing)

our president successfully completed the rigors of a fourth-grade field trip (Please Go Now!)



Nestle is recalling its Hot Pockets Four Cheese Pizza Snack Bites due to misbranding. They’ll be re-released with the corrected name, Scalding Hot Yet Somehow Still Frozen in the Middle Pockets. –Seth Meyers

A lot of Donald Trump fans here tonight. You know what they say: “While the cat’s away, the mice have to testify before Congress.” –Stephen Colbert

And Trump isn’t the only one giving him rave reviews. So is his staff, noting that the president remained attentive during lengthy diplomatic rituals, including an hour-plus tour of a museum in Beijing’s Forbidden City. Yes, our president successfully completed the rigors of a fourth-grade field trip. –Stephen Colbert

Help me, I’m trapped (Giant Panda Bears/0 days)



Years from now we can only hope that we will look back at all of this and laugh. And we will be like, “You remember that time when Trump called Kim Jong Un short and fat? Haha. Anyway, how long do we have to stay in this bunker?” –James Corden

While the president is on his [Asia] tour, the first lady is also traveling with him. During a public appearance with some school children at a zoo in Beijing, Melania Trump got photo bombed by a giant panda named Gu Gu. [shows photo] You can see it in those giant sad eyes, like, “Help me, I’m trapped.” Also, there is a panda behind her. –James Corden

Hillary watched a Knicks game just to rub it in (NoKo)



President Trump tweeted today that, quote, "NoKo has interpreted America's past restraint as weakness. This would be a fatal miscalculation. Do not underestimate us and do not try us." Strong words — except for NoKo. You're trying to talk about an existential threat to the world. Don't make it sound like a cool New York neighborhood. –Seth Meyers

President Trump and first lady Melania attended an opera performance with Chinese President Xi and his wife today in Beijing’s Forbidden City. Man, it makes me so happy to know that Trump had to sit and suffer through a Chinese opera tonight. That is his nightmare. I really hope Hillary's backstage right now living the life he wants to be living, eating a Big Mac and watching a Knicks game just to rub it in. –Seth Meyers
