"In honor of
President Reagan, Senator John Kerry has
suspended his campaign for five days. Ralph
Nader has also suspended his campaign. Not
because of Reagan, he just doesn't have any
supporters." —Jay Leno
"I guess the people I feel worst for are
Carter and Ford. Because they have to be
watching all this thinking, we're not
getting that." —Jon Stewart, on media
coverage of Ronald Reagan's death
"The head of the CIA, George Tenet, resigned
last week. He didn't want to resign, but
when you don't have any credible
intelligence, you don't really need a
director." —Jay Leno
"Prosecutors are having a difficult time
building a case against Saddam Hussein. I'll
tell you something, the guy is smart. See,
when he tortured people, he didn't take
snapshots." —David Letterman
"President Bush met with the Pope in Rome.
Did you see the picture of the two of them?
Man, that poor guy, he has a blank look on
his face like he doesn't know where he is.
Then, the Pope told him, just be quiet and
relax." —David Letterman
"President Bush has returned after
remembering D-Day. Or, as it was known in
his house, report card day." —Jay Leno
"There was one kind of
embarrassing moment when President Bush was
asked if he ever went AWOL and he said, 'No
no no, we have EarthLink.'" —Jay Leno
"If
there was one lesson to be drawn from Bush's
appearance, it's that he doesn't have to be
forthcoming or honest. And he's the first to
tell you why. (Bush:) 'I'm a war president.'
He added: 'I guess I should have told you
that back in 2000."' —Jon Stewart
"President
George Bush also said Sunday that he
wants to lead the world to more peace. More
peace — can we take any more of this peace?
I mean, it worked so well in the Middle
East, let's spread the peace around a little
bit." —Jay Leno
"John Kerry said that America needs to be
able to trust their president and Hillary
Clinton said, 'Tell me about it.'" —Jay Leno
"Former president Bill Clinton won a
Grammy in the spoken word category. If you
had told me a year ago that Bill Clinton
would be a Grammy winner and that Janet
Jackson would be the subject of a government
sex investigation ..." —Jay Leno
"How many of you saw President Bush with
Tim Russert on 'Meet the Press' this Sunday?
It was fascinating, he was on for a full
hour and during his interview on 'Meet the
Press,' President Bush said that Iraq could
have 'nucular weapons.' 'Nucular weapons.'
Or, even worse, nuclear weapons." —David
Letterman
"Dennis Kucinich and Howard Dean remind
me of Christina Aguilera's boobs: everyone's
just waiting for them to drop-out." —Craig
Kilborn
"President Bush is in the hot seat over
Iraqi pre-war intelligence. Remember the
good ol' days when the only thing the
president was trying to cover up was a
stain?" —Craig Kilborn
"On 'Meet the Press' yesterday President
Bush was asked what he would do if he lost
the election and Bush said, ''Phhh, you mean
like last time?'" —Jay Leno

moment when President Bush was asked by Tim
Russert if his commission investigating Iraq
was bipartisan. President Bush said, 'A
person's sexuality should pay no role in
this.'" —Jay Leno
"John Edwards keeps saying there are two
Americas. You know, President Bush used to
think there were two Americas, but then he
stopped drinking." —Jay Leno
"Embarrassing moment last week for Wesley
Clark, his motorcade was pulled over by
Oklahoma state troopers for speeding. He was
speeding, apparently charged with going
nowhere fast." —Jay Leno
"Embarrassing moment today for Vice
President Dick Cheney — as he went through
the White House metal detector this morning,
security made him empty his pockets and out
fell Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia."
—Jay Leno
"Campaign analysts say that Dean has
produced the most innovative web site in
this year's presidential race. I
particularly like today's blog, which
consisted of the sentence 'I hate myself,'
typed four billion times. In Dean's case,
this may be the first instance where the
actually entity represented by the web site
has crashed more often than the site did."
—Dennis Miller
"Richard Gephardt officially endorsed
John Kerry on Thursday. Kerry quietly
thanked Gephardt and than began feverously
working to keep the endorsement from going
public. Vowing to give Kerry's campaign all
the assets remaining from his organization,
Gephardt presented Kerry with three folding
chairs and half a pack of fax paper."
—Dennis Miller
"In light of the Ricin scare both the
House and the Senate are considering banning
all unsolicited mail from constituents, so
if you want to contact your elected
representatives, just wire the money
directly into their accounts." —Dennis
Miller
"They are having a panel look into the
intelligence failures in Iraq. It is a seven
person panel and it will include Senator
John McCain, but the findings from this
panel will not be issued until after the
election. President Bush says the commission
can go off and report back in a year, you
know, the same way it works in the Texas
National Guard." —Bill Maher
"The White House is enraged by these
suggestions that President Bush was AWOL
during Vietnam. However, under an obscure
prevision of the Patriot Act actual Vietnam
combat veterans will be reclassified as
show-offs." —Bill Maher
"It's nine months before the election and
Bush's poll numbers have fallen to the exact
level that his father's poll numbers were
nine months before he lost to Bill Clinton.
Today front runner John Kerry said he's not
superstitious, but just to be on the safe
side, he's going to start f---ing everything
that moves." —Bill Maher
"Bush the younger has two things going
for him that his father never had. One: an
easy charm with regular people and two: the
power to make them disappear without a
trial." —Bill Maher
"Howard Dean is staking it all now on
Wisconsin. He says if he loses there he is
out and of course he will lose there. So he
is already thinking of resuming his life as
a doctor in Vermont, which may not be easy
either because if you think people don't
want a crazy guy in the White House, you
should hear about how they feel about a
crazy guy sticking his finger up your ass."
—Bill Maher
"It was a disappointing primary season
for Lieberman, but on the plus side his
campaign was long, quiet and depressing
enough to qualify as a Jewish holiday."
—Tina Fey, Saturday Night Live's
"Weekend Update"
"In a new issue of Esquire
magazine, they revealed that before he was
married to Teresa Heinz, Senator John Kerry
dated Morgan Fairchild, Michelle Phillips,
Catherine Oxenberg and Dana Delany. Finally
a Democratic presidential candidate with
good taste in women." —Jay Leno
"Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield said
Wednesday that he still believes we will
find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
These statements used to make me angry, but
now I just feel kinda sad for him. The way I
feel when Linus waits for the Great
Pumpkin." —Tina Fey
"Howard Dean
announced last week that his staff is leaner
and meaner. Leaner because he's letting some
of them go and meaner because he's not
paying them anymore." —Jay Leno
"Dean
announced that he's pulling his TV ads off
this week and he's asked his staff to skip
paychecks for the next couple of weeks
because they're out of money. See this way
he can keep the campaign going to explain to
the American people how he's the best guy to
balance the budget." —Jay Leno
"The
campaign that's really in trouble apparently
is Howard Dean. It was in the paper last
week he blew 40 million so far with very
little to show for it. Got rid of his
campaign manager. Apparently the campaign
manager was responsible with his slogan that
has failed Dean so far: 'I will kill you.'"
—Bill Maher
"Joe
Lieberman placed fifth in the New Hampshire
primary, claimed it was a three-way tie for
third. Lost by 30 points, but is staying in.
I think he's taking up history here. He
wants a chance to prove that losing in 2000
was no fluke." —Bill Maher
"I feel
great, I'm on the new Joe Lieberman diet. No
matter what I do I just keep losing and
losing and losing." —Jay Leno
"I don't
want to say Dennis Kucinich is doing badly,
but last night his campaign was featured on
the CBS show 'Without a Trace.'" —Jay Leno
"It's
starting to get nasty. Last night during the
debates John Edwards said the president must
be able to walk and chew gum at the same
time. I don't know, but shouldn't the
qualifications be a little tougher than
that. ... Today President Bush responded and
said, 'Chewing gum and walking is not hard.
Chewing a pretzel, that's tricky.'" —Jay
Leno
"Condoleezza Rice was on every network
morning show today blaming this whole mess
on 'flawed intelligence.' Afterward the
president took her into his office and said,
'You weren't talking about me were you?'"
—Bill Maher, on the failure to find weapons
of mass destruction in Iraq
"President
Bush is getting a little desperate to
justify the war. He's looking for a country
music star to write a song called,
'Sometimes America Just Likes to Kick Some
Ass.'" —Jay Leno
