if he can say all that and still get picked for vice-president, I figure I’ve got a chance at secretary of state at least (any similarity begins and ends with face paint)

Donald Trump has picked the Ohio senator JD Vance as his running mate, despite the fact that Vance once called him a ‘moral disaster’, and said that he could be ‘America’s Hitler’. Damn, if he can say all that and still get picked for vice-president, I figure I’ve got a chance at secretary of state at least. —Seth Meyers

The New Jersey senator Bob Menendez was found guilty on all 16 counts in his federal corruption case, including bribery, extortion and wire fraud. Or, as they call those in New Jersey, waste management. —Seth Meyers

At the Republican convention, the North Carolina lieutenant governor, Mark Robinson, called Trump “the Braveheart of our time”. Personally, I think any similarity begins and ends with face paint. —Seth Meyers

This is my kind of Senator – socially liberal and fiscally conservative (or as Republicans call it)

February 2013

"Senator Bob Menendez was caught in a little scandal. Apparently he's been going down to Puerto Rico and getting underage prostitutes. He denies it. But he says the path to citizenship passes through his pants." –Bill Maher

"The Daily Caller website found two women in Puerto Rico, who claim that he promised them $500 for their services and only paid them $100. This is my kind of Senator – socially liberal and fiscally conservative." –Bill Maher

"In an interview last week, Obama said he loves to shoot skeet up at Camp David. Republicans said if he is a skeet shooter, why have we not heard of it? Why have we not seen photos of it? Yes, because nothing would ease the Republican mind more than a photo of the black president with a gun." –Bill Maher

"This is the first day of Black History Month; or as Republicans call it, February." –Bill Maher

"Con men like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck are one reason the Republicans are in such dire straits today. Because they don't care about winning elections. They care about separating rubes from their money. They've discovered there's a fortune to be made by keeping a small portion of America under the illusion that they are always under attack. From Mexicans, or ACORN, or Planned Parenthood, or gays, or takers, global warming hoaxers; it doesn't matter. They don't want a majority. They want a mailing list, a list of the kind of gullible Honey Boo Boos out there who think that there's a War on Christmas, and that the socialist policies of our Kenyan President have been so disastrous that the end of the world is coming." –Bill Maher

Who’s going to take the word of a politician over a prostitute? (a question about Libya)

November 2012

"Italy's former prime minster Sylvia Berlusconi has been sentenced to four years in prison for tax evasion. You know what you get in America for tax evasion? The Republican presidential nomination." –Jay Leno

"Two women from the Dominican Republic claim that New Jersey Senator Senator Bob Menendez paid them for sex. If true, he could be charged with impersonating a Secret Service agent. In his defense, Senator Menendez denies the charges, but I think he’s in trouble. Who’s going to take the word of a politician over a prostitute?" –Jay Leno

"Last night on Halloween I answered the door and there was a kid lying on the porch. He was playing dead. I said: 'What are you supposed to be?' He said: 'the economy.'" –Jay Leno

"President Obama canceled the annual White House Halloween party. He didn’t want to; he just didn’t want to risk a trick-or-treater asking him a question about Libya." –Jay Leno
