"The GOP likes to call itself the "Big Tent Party," which would make Mike Huckabee the revivalist tent. Ron Paul would be the circus tent. And of course, John McCain is the oxygen tent." --Jay Leno

 

"Congratulations to presidential candidate Barack Obama. He won a Grammy for best spoken word album. Boy, there's four words you haven't heard in the same sentence in a while - 'presidential' and 'best spoken word.'" --Jay Leno

 

"Well, you know who he beat out? Bill Clinton. Hope this doesn't cause any tension between the two families." --Jay Leno

 

"Asked why he is still in the race, Mike Huckabee said, 'I have nothing else to do.' So it sounds like he really is running for vice president." --Jay Leno

 

"Republicans say that John McCain will be good for business. They didn't say what business, but I'm guessing probably the Scooter Store, Doan's Pills, Craftmatic Adjustable Bed, and the Miracle Ear." --Jay Leno

 

"As you know, Mitt Romney's campaign is dead. Although I understand why those officials just told President Bush he went to 'live on a farm.'" --Jay Leno

"Hillary replaced her campaign manager - Patti Doyle was her name - and she hired in her place Maggie Williams. So, for the first time, Hillary now is juggling more women than Bill." --David Letterman

 

"Barack Obama won a Grammy for his audio book. He's on a roll! 'What did you do over the weekend?' 'I won four primaries and a Grammy.' ... He beat four nominees, including Bill Clinton's audio book. Barack Obama beating a Clinton? They're getting kind of used to that. ... I've heard Bill's audio book - it's not that good. it's two hours of heavy breathing." --Craig Ferguson

 

"How about that Mitt Romney? He looks like a doctor with a miracle cure for arthritis. ... looks like one of those guys whose cologne you smell long after he's gone. ... like a lawyer in a yellow pages ad, I'm telling you. ... Mitt Romney looks like a guy on a cruise ship who teaches your wife how to cha-cha." --David Letterman

 

"Fashion Week this week. Hillary Clinton was wearing her strapless pantsuit." --David Letterman

 

"Rudy Giuliani is announcing his own line of clothing. It comes apart at the seams." --David Letterman

 

"Mitt Romney threw in the monogrammed towel. That leaves McCain and Huckabee. The old guy and the preacher. Which brings up the philosophical question: Which one is closer to God?" --Jay Leno

 

"It looks like John McCain has gotten the nod. Of course, McCain getting a nomination, this is Rush Limbaugh's worst nightmare since the pharmacist said, "We're out of OxyContin." --Jay Leno

 

From David Letterman's Top Ten Reasons Mitt Romney Dropped Out Of The Presidential Race: "Apparently America is not ready for a white male president"

 

"John McCain was the big Republican winner. One pundit said McCain's lucky nickel was working. He carries a lucky nickel. It must be lucky - six months ago, that was his campaign war chest." --Jay Leno

 

"Super Tuesday elections. I had the worst trouble with the machines. I kept yanking on the lever. One time, I turned the whole thing over. ... I like to go in there and take off my pants. I hold them outside the curtain and say, "You got these in a 38? --David Letterman

 

"Big day for Hillary Clinton. She won in Samoa. And coincidentally that's where she's hiding Bill." --David Letterman

 

"Now refers to Mike Huckabee as "Mike Suckabee" --from David Letterman's Top Ten Signs John McCain Is Getting Too Cocky

 

"The Republican race is now down to McCain and Romney. Interesting two guys, you got the guy who spent five years in a prison camp versus the guy who spent five years in the tanning booth." --Jay Leno

 

"The Florida retirees didn't go for that Mitt Romney, either. He reminded them of a guy who tries to get a hold of their nest egg. ...

He reminded them of the pharmacist who doesn't accept their prescription plan." --David Letterman

 

"How sad really that Edwards is out of the race, because he had a stirring message about two Americas. It is so true, there were two Americas. One in which people were voting for Edwards because they were afraid of Hillary, and another America where people were voting for Edwards because they were afraid of Barack Obama." --Stephen Colbert

 

"President Bush said the State of the Union was good, not as good as his buddies at Exxon, but still pretty good." --Jay Leno

 

"President Bush also promoted his stimulus package, where each American will get $600. This is part of the 'You Got Screwed, But Here's Cab Fare Plan.'" --Jay Leno

"About halfway through, Senator Ted Kennedy sent over a couple of drinks to the Bush twins." --David Letterman

Yeah, to give you an idea how much of a pay cut doctors would have to take, they said by the year 2010, you could actually have a lot of doctors playing on public golf courses" --Jay Leno

 

"Well, we've marked the one-year-left point in the Bush presidency. Folks, I'm with you, but stop cheering. He is still allowed to touch things. I pray he doesn't have one more giant f--- up in him, because, you know, he does keep trying. He tried to screw up Social Security, right? He tried to appoint his cleaning lady to the Supreme Court. He tried to get a war cry going to attack Iran. It's not like he's going to quit. He's going to be the worst president ever to the very last minute of the very last day. ... So I'm still nervous about this last year. I have the same feeling about this last year of his in office as I have when I'm on the highway and I have to go to the bathroom and I just passed a sign that says 'Next Rest Stop: 28 miles.'" --Bill Maher

 

"Sylvester Stallone announced that he is endorsing John McCain. I think that's what he said. He might have said, 'Hand me my cane.'" --Jay Leno

He looks like a cosmetic surgeon who gets ambushed on '60 Minutes.' ... He looks like the photo that comes with the frame." --David Letterman

 

"Have you heard this story? They're trying to pass a bill now that allows politicians to insist that they be addressed by gender- neutral titles. Is that really necessary? I mean, don't we already have gender neutral titles for politicians? 'Crook,' 'liar,' 'adulterer,' 'pinhead,' 'moron,' these are all gender-neutral." --Jay Leno

 

"The government is thinking of considering charging every person who enters the United States a dollar to raise more money for border control agents. You know, we can't catch people sneaking across the border now. How are you gonna charge them a dollar? ... I got a better idea, why don't we charge American companies a buck for every job they send overseas?" --Jay Leno

 

"Today is the 171st birthday of the flush toilet. Or, as Senator Larry Craig calls it, 'the love seat'" --David Letterman

 

"How about that Mitt Romney, am I right about this guy? ... I mean, he looks like the guy on TV selling life insurance, doesn't he? ... He looks like that guy on a Father's Day ad for Norelco. ... He looks like a guy on cable urging you to tap your home equity. ... He looks like an American President in a Canadian movie. ... He looks like the medical expert in a Victoria Principal infomercial. ... He looks like the spokesman for senior lending networks. ... He looks like the guy who promises accident victims he'll get the money they deserve. ... He looks like the guy on the 'Just For Men' bottle" --David Letterman

"Have you heard this report that Iran and Syria have been printing counterfeit $100 bills in order to ruin the U.S. economy? Hey, you're about four years too late, okay? You know, if the Iranians really want to ruin our economy, make TVs and cars. That's what the Japanese did" --Jay Leno

 

"What about that Mitt Romney? Mitt Romney. He looks like a guy who would run a seminar on condo flipping. He looks like a weekend weather man, doesn't he? He looks like the neighbor who spends way too much time on his lawn" --David Letterman
