So now they're having a benefit concert for people who had to see that (Dear Santa)

million missing emails from President George W. Bush's

Administration. And you can tell the emails are from the Bush

Administration because they all begin, 'Dear Santa.'"

Hillary, as always, closed with “Thunder Road.” (strategic bladder reserves)


In Philadelphia, Hillary Clinton held a huge rally in front of Independence Hall with Bruce Springsteen. Bruce talked about global warming and trade policy. Hillary, as always, closed with “Thunder Road.” –Stephen Colbert


"The MTA reported that Sandy flooded seven subway tunnels under the East River, which means it could be weeks before they're able to restore the scent of urine. That's why I'm calling on New York drunks to head into the subway and release their strategic bladder reserves." –Stephen Colbert

Let me play the water bottle lullaby of my people (Or, as they're commonly called in China, jails)

What is the opposite of a meeting of the minds? (Obama bad. No like.)


"They didn't invite Chris Christie, but they did invite Rick Perry and Sarah Palin – to answer the question, 'What is the opposite of a meeting of the minds?'" –Bill Maher


"Sarah Palin is getting ready for the big CPAC thing by writing words on her hand like "Obama bad. No like." And Rick Perry is getting ready by writing Rick Perry." –Bill Maher


"The big scandal is that CPAC did not invite the one most popular Republican in the country, Chris Christie, because apparently they're mad at him because during Hurricane Sandy, he hugged Obama. In their world, you're only allowed to touch a black person if he handed you a 7-wood and shot a hole in one." –Bill Maher

Holy Sh*t. Would not recommend (strategic bladder reserves)


“Meanwhile, reporter Jeremy Diamond from CNN pushed back on

Trump’s self-praise in said conference, asking if it’s really the time

to praise his own administration when 22 million Americans are

out of work and more than 40,000 have died from the virus.

Trump denied praising himself, the logic of which was summarized

(as Trump): ‘Look, there’s never been a president who makes it less

about me than me. Honestly, I don’t get enough credit for making

this not about me. I should get a medal that says Most About Not

Me’.” —Stephen Colbert


First of all, I’d like to send out a hearty “Don’t let the door hit ya” too soon-to-be former Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, who lost last night to democrat Tony Evers. It is the most celebrated defeat of a White Walker since Game of Thrones. The loss was hard on Scott Walker. Hopefully he consoled himself with his brother, Johnny. --Stephen Colbert

So now they're having a benefit concert for people who had to see that (The report is entitled, 'Oops, Our Bad.')


"People all over the world now are following our election. And according to a new international poll that just came out, I think this came out a few hours ago, this is true, people in Canada want Barack Obama to be the next U.S. president. That's what they're saying. In Canada, yeah. That makes sense, because Obama has the support of Canada's anti-war voters, as well as Canada's black guy. He is very excited." --Conan O'Brien

They describe the man as a staunch Republican who has never heard of bumper stickers (bread and circuses)


"Everybody's mind is on Hurricane Sandy. The worst is over.

Now people are discussing the cause. Sources say that it was

partly caused by global warming. Meanwhile, Fox News said

it was caused by two men kissing in Central Park."

–Conan O'Brien


"A man in Indiana got a tattoo of Mitt Romney's campaign logo on his face. They describe the man as a staunch Republican who has never heard of bumper stickers." –Conan O'Brien


"The hurricane has interrupted the presidential campaign. Both presidential candidates are taking measures to prepare for Hurricane Sandy. President Obama is staying in Washington to coordinate relief efforts. And Mitt Romney is moving his smaller homes into his larger home." –Conan O'Brien

Welcome to our beautiful city! Touch nothing. (Faces)


July 2022

“On Saturday, the W.H.O. declared monkeypox a global health emergency. No, no, W.H.O.! No new health emergencies until you finish your Covid, little mister!” —Stephen Colbert

“Why? Why! Another global health emergency? No! We just got done with ignoring this pandemic, I don’t know if I can handle another one.” —Trevor Noah

“The C.D.C. has provided some information on how monkeypox spreads, mainly through direct contact with an infectious rash and bodily fluids, which is why they say, when at all possible, people with monkeypox should handle their own soiled laundry. That C.D.C. report was written by Dr. Mom-who-is-sick-of-this: ‘You’re 23, Jordan! Go to a laundromat!’” —Stephen Colbert

“The reason monkeypox has been upped to emergency status is because it’s spreading faster than the scientists had expected. As of today, New York City alone has logged over 1,000 cases. That is unacceptable. The only disease you should contract in New York is herpes from a subway pole. Welcome to our beautiful city! Touch nothing.” —Stephen Colbert


“Now it’s monkeypox? Why is New York the epicenter again, huh? Haven’t we been through enough? Hurricane Sandy, coronavirus, the Knicks. No, I’m joking, I’m joking — Sandy wasn’t a complete disaster.” —Trevor Noah

"This has become quite a story; the Washington Post reported that Mitt Romney, while in high school, bullied a gay classmate. Did you hear about this story? In his defense, Romney said that he didn't know the kid was gay; he just thought he was poor." –Jay Leno

Can you get it from pulling stuff out of your a**? (Not ready to be unplugged)


​​But don’t worry about it because Donald Trump, MD is on the case.  He graduated from Trump University School of Medicine. This man is a fountain of misinformation. This week he said it’s okay for people infected with the virus to go to work, which raises the question, can you get it from pulling stuff out of your ass? —Bill Maher


"President Obama met with the Republicans for seven hours. And he was very patient with them. He praised them when it was appropriate, he was gently critical when necessary. It was like watching a really good special ed teacher." –Bill Maher


"The big scandal is that CPAC did not invite the one most popular Republican in the country, Chris Christie, because apparently they're mad at him because during Hurricane Sandy, he hugged Obama. In their world, you're only allowed to touch a black person if he handed you a 7-wood and shot a hole in one." –Bill Maher

You do get how that's worse, right? (reach across the aisle and grab whatever's there)


November 2012

"Last night we had a rough audience, very unpleasant. And then halfway through the show they voted to secede." --David Letterman


"After the election, 20 states said they've got to get out. They said, 'We can't take it anymore,' so 20 states are working on seceding from the United States. We're facing real economic problems, so take those 20 states that want to leave and charge them $10,000 apiece." --David Letterman


"Yesterday Barack Obama looked especially good. He looked relaxed and ready to lead, so he took questions from the press for 20 minutes then finished up with a few Al Green songs." --David Letterman


"President Obama is in town today. He's visiting the places that were destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. And he's visiting people who lost their power. Those are Republicans, but that's a different story." --David Letterman

And now a dramatic reading from the Starr Report by John Voight and the remaining Oakridge Boy


November 2012

"Everyone is asking how this storm is going to affect the election. I think it’s given Obama momentum because of how he handled it. He approached it so differently than Bush; he showed up." –Bill Maher on Hurricane Sandy


"Obama's been getting bipartisan praise for how he handled the hurricane. Even Fox News tried to praise it. Of course, their heart's not in it. The best they could do was Pat Buchanan said, "You're doing a heck of a job, Brownie.'" –Bill Maher


"Tonight they're having a big benefit that is bothering Fox News on NBC for the victims, with all the stars from New York and New Jersey – Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi. On FOX they said 'where are the conservative performers?' That's right, that's what would help so much. 'Thank you Bruce Springsteen. And now a dramatic reading from the Starr Report by John Voight and the remaining Oakridge Boy.'" –Bill Maher


"They also on Fox News questioned the timing of the benefit. They said, what's the rush? I know, when will liberals get it? Storm victims do not want food and blankets, they want answers about Benghazi." –Bill Maher

November 2012
