Question number one: Is your spouse a governor? (Lawrence of Arrhythmia)



"Vice President Dick Cheney also paid a surprise visit to Iraq. And Cheney is very popular in the Middle East. I mean, he flashes them that nice, warm sneer and they just go crazy. And in that part of the world he is known as Lawrence of Arrhythmia." --David Letterman

"And now on Monday, right after being sworn in, the new governor of New York, David Paterson, he announces that he cheated on his wife. I'm thinking, this guy didn't waste any time, did he?" --David Letterman

"And now and not a minute too soon, there's a quiz that you can take to tell if your spouse is cheating. Question number one: Is your spouse a governor?" --David Letterman

If they bring Larry Flynt to talk about your future, you have no future! (Bed of Lies)



"The escort service that sent Eliot Spitzer this hooker on the train from New York to Washington -- this was in the paper yesterday -- told her he might ask for something that wasn't safe. He already did. He put her on Amtrak." --Jay Leno

"Last night on CNN, they brought out the publisher of Hustler magazine, Larry Flynt -- you know Larry Flynt -- to talk about Eliot Spitzer's future. Let me tell you something, okay? If they bring Larry Flynt to talk about your future, you have no future!" --Jay Leno

"Taking over for Governor Spitzer will be the lieutenant governor, David Paterson, who is legally blind. Interesting. Once again, I don't think President Bush really understands the situation. In fact, when he heard 'legally blind,' he said, 'I love that movie.'" --Jay Leno

Which is why I gave over $80,000 to hookers (slavery leaves a mark)



"Let's hear him out [on screen: Spitzer saying, 'To whom much is given, much is expected']. Which is why I gave over $80,000 to hookers. I expected a lot from them. And then, of course, the big news [on screen: Spitzer saying, 'At Lieutenant Governor Paterson's request, the resignation will be effective Monday, March 17, a date that he believes will permit an orderly transition']. Really, the day you've chosen for the orderly transition is St. Patrick's Day. Do you think that's a good idea? Really? I'm beginning to wonder about this guy's judgment." --Jon Stewart

"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 vote 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




his top legislative priority will be the death penalty for people who don't clean up after their dogs (one is my limit)



"On Monday, the lieutenant governor will take over. His name is David Patterson. He's African-American and legally blind. He'll be the first blind governor in the United States. He's already announced that his top legislative priority will be the death penalty for people who don't clean up after their dogs." --Jimmy Kimmel

"And so Eliot Spitzer headed to his midtown office to make the announcement while receiving what the networks now refer to as the full O.J. [on screen: video of Spitzer's car driving through Manhattan]. As you can see, the trip gave commentators ample time for analysis [on screen: a montage of news anchors commenting on the traffic in Manhattan]. So interesting to hear about. By the way, it's not really for me to judge, but if you are in the car with your wife on the way to resign from the state's highest office after facing prostitution allegations, I'd run that light. Shorten what I imagine would be a fairly awkward car ride. What's a ticket compared to what's been going on? $200 extra. I've heard that some prostitutes spend more than that on room service." --Jon Stewart
