The best from Political Humor‘s collection of the week’s late night political humor.
Happy Friday.
“Todd Akin, the Republican Senate candidate from Missouri, is under fire for his controversial comments that women who are ‘legitimately raped are less likely to get pregnant.’ The good news? Candidates who are legitimately that stupid are less likely to get elected.” –Jay Leno
“Mitt Romney has asked Todd Akin to step down. That’s too bad. Todd Akin was the guy to lead the Republican Party into the 16th century.” –David Letterman
“Mitt Romney says if he is elected he will create 12 million new jobs in his first year in office – and that’s just for people to do his taxes.” –Jay Leno
“And Mitt’s running mate Paul Ryan — who has dropped out of nowhere and has energized the Republican ticket — he looks like the guy you see on packages of underwear.” –David Letterman
“Senior Citizens Day was made official by President Reagan in 1988 to recognize the contributions the elderly do for this country. It’s a special holiday to remind them they are indeed old.” –Jimmy Kimmel
“Mitt Romney is worth half a billion dollars and he’s saying he pays 13 percent annually in taxes. Al Capone paid more than 13 percent in taxes, ladies and gentlemen.” –David Letterman
“On the first night, Mitt will be introduced by his money.” –David Letterman
“Paul Ryan just released his tax returns for the last two years, and it turns out he and his wife had a combined income of over $323,000 last year. To which Mitt Romney said, ‘See, I do reach out to poor people.” –Jay Leno
“Mitt Romney says he’s never paid less than 13% in taxes, which I think is fair because only 13% of his money is in this country.” –Jay Leno
“Today the Republicans are getting ready for the convention. They’re busy down there in Florida auditioning minorities.” –David Letterman
“The Pennsylvania voter ID law, according to one study…will disenfranchise 9% of the entire Pennsylvania electorate. But that’s the price you pay for preventing something that doesn’t happen.” –Jon Stewart
“Are you excited about Paul Ryan? He’s a far, far-right ideologue. The Republican base loves him. He’s kind of an English-speaking version of Sarah Palin.” –Bill Maher
“Only one publication had a reporter with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan on day one, ‘People Magazine.’ Or as Mitt Romney calls it ‘Corporation Magazine.’” –Stephen Colbert
“Paul Ryan looks like a guy who owns his own chain of nursing homes.” –David Letterman

Rommunism: Tax the middle class into poverty and cut taxes for the rich. Cut safety net for the poor and middle class. Get rid of Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and Obamacare. The only welfare is corporate welfare. But blow all the money on the military industrial complex to protect international corporations from all those masses of poor people who are really pissed right now all over the world.
Love it – had to post on my own page.
Okay, if the solution to the housing crisis is to let the banks to push through foreclosures as “debt relief” and create millions of homeless families with no safety net, while their homes sit vacant; then doesn’t it stand to reason that lining up all sick and injured people admitted into a hospital should be lined up and shot into mass graves to give them “medical relief’ as a health care reform?
This man’s reasoning or lack there of is dangerous…seems I heard this type of ‘”solution” before.
