Late Night Political Humor

Collection of the week’s best late night political humor from Daniel Kurtzman’s Political Humor…and an open thread so feel free to rant or rave about whatever.

Happy Friday.

“Experts say the entire 2012 election could come down to just eight states. The states are: confusion, dismay, depression, apathy, shock, disbelief, despair, and anxiety. Those are the eight states.” –Jay Leno

“Even though he’s spending all day on Air Force One, there’s an office on the plane where the president can work. It’s just like being in Washington. He’s got the desk, he’s got the computer, and he even has a closet that has a group of Republicans who pop out and block anything he tries to do.” –Jay Leno

“Do you know who is endorsing Mitt Romney? Lindsay Lohan. It may seem silly to you but not to the Romney campaign. They’re very excited. They said they have a chance now to get the shoplifter vote.” –David Letterman

“Earlier today, vice-presidential hopeful Paul Ryan gave a major policy address on poverty. We’re still not sure whether he’s for it or against it, but he was talking about poverty.” –David Letterman

“A source close to Mitt Romney revealed that he gets a spray tan before major campaign events. I guess that explains his new Secret Service code name: ‘The Mittuation.’” –Jimmy Fallon

“A new poll found that 59 percent of Americans would rather eat a burger with President Obama while only 41 percent would eat one with Mitt Romney. While most Americans don’t care who they’re with, as long as they get that burger. ” –Jimmy Fallon

“Did you see the debate last night? It was the same stuff, but here’s what was different. In the first debate they were at podiums. The second debate, it was stools. Last night, chairs and desks. The next debate – yoga mats.” –David Letterman

“Last night the debate was all about the undecideds, but here’s what happened. The undecideds decided not to watch.” –David Letterman

“Obama is still ahead in the swing states and among women. He is of course losing among men and in any states were you can buy the Confederate flag in a mall.” -Bill Maher

“Oh please, Mr. President. Everyone plays by the same set of rules — and at the end of the game the rich flip over the board and yell, “I win!” –Stephen Colbert

“Donald Trump said he’d give $5 million to charity if President Obama released his college transcripts. Obama responded by sending trump a full transcript from his alma mater, the University of Shove It Up Your Ass.” –Conan O’Brien

“During last night’s debate, moderator Bob Schieffer mistakenly referred to Osama bin Laden as ‘Obama bin Laden.’ Everyone at CBS news was really embarrassed, while Fox News was like, ‘We’ll take him!’” –Jimmy Fallon

“Last night President Obama finally found a Republican who agreed with him — Mitt Romney.” –Jay Leno

“Latest polls among registered voters show six percent are undecided. Pick one, come on! Those are the guys you see in the Baskin-Robbins asking for free samples.” –David Letterman

“Obama raised his game, so Romney thought he had to bump up his game even more, so he kind of looked like a prick. At one point he said to the President of the United States, ‘Hang on, you’ll get your chance.’ You should not be surprised, the Mormon church has been saying this to black people for decades.” -Bill Maher

“The Mormons had good news today. Billy Graham, who is 112, has taken Mormonism off his website’s list of cults. This is typical of Christian right’s stance on Mitt Romney. They still believe he will go to Hell for all eternity but in this life, they’d like a tax cut.” –Bill Maher

“Mitt Romney is so rich he hired extra housekeepers just to launder his money.” –David Letterman

Mitt Romney - Scrabble : http://mariopiperni.com/

“The part of the debate I thought was most telling was when Mitt Romney claimed that Obama did not call the Benghazi attack in September an act of terror until two weeks later. And then Obama said, ‘Check the transcript, asshole.’ And then Candy Crowley, the moderator, came in and said, ‘Yes, I was there, it’s true, he did call it that.’ Well, Fox News was pissed off about this. They said, ‘We have seen a lot of low-down dirty debate tricks, but introducing facts!’ And Mitt Romney was furious. He was so mad at Candy Crowley, he took her right out of his lady binder.” –Bill Maher

    Mitt Romney has now changed his positions so drastically that his new campaign slogan is
    “I’m for all the same things Obama is…but I’m white” !

  2. GoldenSun says:

    PS – Mario, What are these rules of “moderation” we must await ?-
    is the moderator a Lehrer, Raddatz, Crowley or Schieffer ? :)

  3. GoldenSun – sorry about the moderation. It really is beyond my control. A WordPress application controls what gets moderated.

    The basic rule is that a first time commenter always gets their submission placed in a moderation queue. This is to control the unbelievably large number of spam “comments’ that come through here each day. Once I accept a comment, it is published and the commenter will usually see all future comments posted instantly as long as they use the same name and email they used to post their first comment.

    There is also a list of words which the application searches for in any comment. If any part of a comment (body of text, username or email) uses any word or part of a word found on the list, it automatically goes to moderation and awaits me to set it free.

    As to why your comments above went to moderation, I don’t know. Are you using the same email address you used in the past? In any case, I apologize.

  4. GoldenSun says:

    Mario, thanks for the info – there was a time where I’d start entering my user name and the rest of the info would automatically fill in, this hasn’t happened recently and you are correct in my haste to type in my email I left out some numbers.

    Love your web site and your graphics and looking forward to seeing more great stuff from you and the wonderful people that comment on here.

    I love Bill Maher. And Conan. And Letterman. And the Jimmys. But not Leno. I don’t really like Leno.
