Late Night Political Humor

“Republicans are now starting to accept the fact that Mitt Romney will be their nominee for president. But you know, they’re not that excited about it. It’s kind of like starting to accept that you’re going to prom with your sister.” – Jay Leno

“Mitt Romney is trying to get female voters and Rick Santorum said, ‘What? Women can vote? Are you kidding me?’” – David Letterman

“The (Supreme Court) ruling that anyone who’s arrested — even accidentally — can be strip-searched was decided five to four, with the votes for the searches coming from the Court’s five conservatives. You know — the ‘defending personal liberty’ guys. Which is weird because I’m not a constitutional scholar, but I’m willing to bet Big Government feels it’s biggest when it’s inside your anus.” – Jon Stewart

“There’s a strange new law making its way through the Arizona state legislature right now. It’s a bill that, if signed into law… would ban people from posting anything (online) that would, quote, ‘terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, offend or annoy another person.’ I think it means Kim Kardashian is going to prison for a very long time.” – Jimmy Kimmel

“Oh, here’s your tax dollars at work. This is what makes people furious. The head of the GSA, a woman named Martha Johnson, has resigned after they found out she spent over $830,000 on a four-day government conference in Las Vegas. And the president is furious. Not President Obama, the president of China. It’s his money. It’s his money she spent.” – Jay Leno

“You’re pretending this whole appearance is some uncommonly ballsy way of sticking it to the ‘lamestream’ media, but it’s just another way for you to tout your brand of homespun nonsense unchallenged.” –Jon Stewart (on Sarah Palin’s “Today Show” appearance)

“Osama bin Laden… lived in one house for, like, six years with three wives. And earlier today, they ruled his death was a suicide.” – David Letterman

    Is it just me, or is Leno consistently terrible? I’ve never seen the show, I just have your quotes to go off IK.

    I think it is instructive to see what the “mainstream comedians” are saying about politics. Even Leno.
