"The toxic chemical Ricin
was discovered in the U.S. Capitol this
week. Even more bad news — it's beating
Dennis Kucinich in the polls." — Craig
Kilborn
"Congratulations to Senator John
Kerry — the big winner in yesterday’s
primary. Won five out of seven. I just hope
all these victories don't give Kerry a big
head." —Jay Leno
"John Edwards won his home state of South
Carolina. He said last night again there are
really two Americas and he wants to create
just one America. And the Republicans said
that's fine with us as long as there is
still a first class section." —Jay Leno
"Because of poor results at the primaries
last night, Senator Joe Lieberman will be
dropping out of the race. Earlier today, he
broke the news to his supporter." —David
Letterman
"This past weekend was tough on a lot of
the candidates. John Edwards got caught
trying to bring a pen knife through airport
security. Wesley Clark's motorcade got
stopped for speeding in Oklahoma. And Dennis
Kucinich's campaign got cited for
loitering." —Jay Leno
"Howard Dean got under 10 percent in
South Carolina, Missouri and Oklahoma. So
that Al Gore endorsement is really starting
to kick in now." —Jay Leno
"Presidential candidate Howard Dean was
at a fish market in Seattle catching fish
and he did so well, next week he starts full
time." —David Letterman
"If Howard Dean is still limping along,
other campaigns have collapsed with the last
sign of Joementum fading. Connecticut
Senator Joe Lieberman, who was banking
everything on, and I kid you not, a strong
showing in Delaware, took last night's 0-7
performance as a sign that the game was
finally over." —Jon Stewart
"Yesterday after performing poorly in all
of the primaries, Senator Joe Lieberman
decided to drop out of the race. ... When
asked about it, he said I knew I was in
trouble when the Jewish guy in North Dakota
didn't vote for me." —Conan O'Brien
"Joe Lieberman has dropped out of the
race for president. You know if Joe had
raised just $10 million more, he could have
gotten his ass kicked for two more months."
—Craig Kilborn
"President Bush has started to campaign
on the accomplishments of his
administration. Bin Laden’s been forced into
hiding, Saddam Hussein is being
interrogated, Janet Jackson is under
investigation. "We'll get to the bottom of
this!" —Jay Leno
"President Bush released his new $2.4
trillion federal budget. It has two parts:
smoke and mirrors." —Jay Leno
"They say Bush's popularity is falling so
fast, his new secret service codename is
'Howard Dean.'" —Jay Leno
"President Bush's approval rating is now
down under 50 percent. So now what he's
going to have to do is let Saddam go so we
can capture him again." —David Letterman
"Here's something frightening — in
Washington yesterday, three senate buildings
were shut down after a white powdery
substance tested positive for Ricin. At
first they thought it just was John Kerry’s
Botox delivery." —Jay Leno
"It seems the Ricin was found in the
office of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist.
Police believe now that the person who sent
it is someone who has a grudge against
Senate Republicans. So now they're looking
for a gay middle class couple with no health
care." —Jay Leno
"Because of this Ricin poison scare
yesterday, the Senate postponed all voting.
You see this has a ripple effect on the
economy because when politicians can't vote,
oil companies, drug companies, tobacco
companies can't get the money. That means
that bartenders and hookers all suffer."
—Jay Leno
"John Kerry appears to be the front
runner. Do you know the name of Kerry's bus?
It's the Real Deal Express, that's the name
of his campaign bus. Do you know the name of
Dennis Kucinich's bus? Greyhound." —Jay Leno
"Wesley Clark is bringing an Army veteran
on the campaign trail who saved his life in
Vietnam. However, Clark's plan might
backfire since the man is John Kerry."
—Conan O'Brien
"Kucinich is not doing well. In fact,
even in Florida today, people said they
wouldn't vote for Kucinich even by mistake."
—Jay Leno
"In South Carolina, Senator John Edwards
won handily, fulfilling his promise to win
every state he was born in." —Jon Stewart
"President Bush has appointed a
commission to answer one big question about
pre-war Iraq: How did our oil get under
their sand?" —Craig Kilborn
"This Iraqi intelligence scandal is
growing. Americans are asking, 'What did
President Bush not know?' and 'When did he
mispronounce it?'" —Craig Kilborn
"Bush admitted that his pre-war
intelligence wasn't what it should have
been. We knew that when we elected him!"
—Jay Leno
"We have to tape this show around 6
o'clock, 6:30, so we're not positive of the
exact results but I really can confidently
predict the following: today, voters in
seven states from North Dakota to New Mexico
humored Joe Lieberman, ignored Dennis
Kucinich, reminisced about Howard Dean, and
admired Clark's hussle, but still found him
too creepy." —Jon Stewart
"How many saw the big Super Bowl halftime
show? You know, it's like turning into a
thing now. ... President Bush has now formed
a Department of Wardrobe Security." —David
Letterman
"You know who was really mad about that
whole incident? President Bush, he was very
upset. In fact, today, he accused Janet
Jackson of having weapons of mass arousal."
—Jay Leno
"It was quite a Superbowl show, if you
think about it. There was a streaker, Janet
Jackson's breast was exposed and then Kid
Rock wore an American flag as a poncho. You
know, I'm surprised John Ashcroft's head
didn't explode." —Jay Leno
"Janet Jackson is being very contrite and
she's pretending to apologize to everyone
who pretended to be offended. I think that
works out. But now the official explanation
is 'wardrobe malfunction.' She's blaming the
whole thing on 'wardrobe malfunction.'
Former President Clinton is thinking, why
didn't I think of that?" —David Letterman
"I don't think President Bush is getting
this situation. He said, 'If we don't set
standards of decency, the nipples have
won.'" —Craig Kilborn
"Yesterday on MSNBC, televangelist Pat
Robertson said the reason Democrats are
still competitive in national elections, is
that, and this is his quote, "African
Americans don't cotton to the idea of voting
for Republicans”. Maybe that’s because
Republicans like Pat Robertson keep using
'cotton' as a verb!" —Jay Leno
"The former California governor Gray
Davis has got a new job. He's going to guest
star on the CBS show 'Yes, Dear' next month.
Let me tell you, you see, Gray Davis is very
clever. You see, I know what Gray Davis is
doing. He's going to become a famous actor,
get back into politics, and beat Arnold at
his own game." —Jay Leno
"Today is Groundhog's Day. President Bush
looked over at his shadow and saw John
Kerry." —Jay Leno
"On Groundhog Day, the old timers think
they can predict whether it's going to be an
early spring or six more weeks of winter by
whether or not the groundhog sees his
shadow, or, as President Bush calls it,
'reliable intelligence.'" —Jay Leno
"The chairman of the FCC announced he's
launching an immediate and swift
investigation into what they're calling
'Nipplegate.' ... We still have to wait
until next year to find out why we went to
war with Iraq, but we'll find out what
happened with (Janet Jackson's) breast
probably in 48 hours." —Jay Leno
"During testimony before the Senate Armed
Services Committee former U.S. Chief Weapons
Inspector David Kay defended President Bush
for saying Iraq had weapons of mass
destruction. Kay blamed the 'intelligence
community.' And he doesn't want anybody
confusing Bush with the intelligence
community. I think we're okay there." —Jay
Leno
"A spokesman for the military said today
they expect to catch Osama bin Laden this
year. I understand they're shooting for the
first week November." —Jay Leno
"After the game, President
George Bush calls the
winning team, he calls the Patriots and
listen to this, former President Clinton
called Janet Jackson." —David Letterman
"Poor Al Sharpton, he only got 345 votes
total in the New Hampshire primary. Here's a
tip Al, when you're driving around the small
white, conservative states, turn down the
bass." —Bill Maher
