Late Night Political Humor

“A family values conservative Republican from Indiana, Mark Souder, has admitted to having an affair with a woman on his staff. Apparently Souder would take this woman to remote locations inside state parks and have sex with her. See, this is what Republicans mean when they talk about opening up our public lands for drilling.” – Jay Leno

“And in Connecticut, Attorney General Dick Blumenthal’s campaign is now saying there are only four times that Blumenthal said he served in Vietnam when he really didn’t. That’s what politics has come down to now, when your campaign slogan is, ‘I only lied four times.'” – Jay Leno

“Blumenthal said he is not apologizing for misleading people about his war record. He said all he did was use the word ‘in’ instead of the word ‘during.’ He insists he just ‘misspoke.’ You know, like using the word ‘misspoke’ instead of the word ‘lying.'” – Jay Leno

“In Supreme Court news, the Elena Kagan confirmation hearings will begin around June 28. I guess they have to wait until softball season’s over.” – Jay Leno

“Last night, at the big White House state dinner, Capricia Marshall, the U.S. chief of protocol, slipped on the White House steps right next to the Obamas. It was such a nasty spill that BP showed up and tried to put a top hat on her.” – Jimmy Fallon

“The BP oil spill turned a month old today. Unfortunately, it has not been potty trained yet.” – Jimmy Kimmel

“Everybody has a different solution for the Gulf oil spill. Why don’t they just try jiggling the handle? I went to lunch and had crab cakes. The waiter came over and asked if I wanted leaded or unleaded. The tartar sauce was 80 percent tar.” – David Letterman

“There was a big state dinner at the White House last night in honor of Mexican President Felipe Calderón. The Mexican president pointed out that he and President Obama have a lot in common. He said they are both presidents of two beautiful countries, they’re both left-handed, and they both preside over 40 million Mexican people.” – Jay Leno

“Down there at the White House, they had a state dinner for Mexican President Felipe Calderón. Every door at the White House was guarded by a New York City T-shirt vendor.” – David Letterman

“You know that Faisal Shahzad, the Times Square bomber? Well, he appeared in court yesterday. Here’s what he is charged with: domestic terrorism and illegal parking on Broadway.” – David Letterman

“You know, he bungled the gig. So the Taliban got wind of this and they said, ‘That’s it.’ So they downgraded the guy. And he doesn’t get 72 virgins. Here’s what he gets: 72 vegans.” – David Letterman

“The U.S. Navy announced this week they are now using sea lions to fight terrorism. They did a drill this week where they hid a bomb underwater. A trained sea lion found the bomb in less than a minute. The bad news? He then balanced the bomb on his nose, threw it back at the trainer.” – Jay Leno

“Lakers Coach Phil Jackson is coming under fire for some comments he made in support of Arizona’s immigration law. He’s a basketball coach. He can take a tough stand on immigration. Try doing that with a baseball team. There wouldn’t be anybody left.” – Jay Leno
