Late-Night Jokes Of The Week: Obama, Clinton And A Visit From The Pope

Another week, another round of late-night monologues and political jokes. Below are some HuffPost favorites from Jay Leno, Jon Stewart, Dave Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert from the week of April 14.

Faux News is reporting that Barbara Bush now supports a woman's right to choose. She just wishes she had chosen to abort 61 years ago.

Don't we all...

I think she chose to look like her husband's mother. She always had that position on choice, but being a good little wifey while her husband played around, she clammed up.

The most brilliant half hour was Thursday night's "The Colbert Report". Colbert and his writers are amazing talents. They had Hillary, Edwards and Obama each on at different times (and Patrick Murphy as the guest who in any other crowd would have been the standout).

They achieved something you'd think would have been impossible--to have each of the three doing a "bit" that was well-executed comedically and made each of them come across very well. I'm not sure why they edited out the "raise the roof" applause for Obama at the end, but I guess it was some vestige of respect for the "Fairness Doctrine". Anyway, it was a GREAT half hour of television.

I couldn't agree more!! Now that is unbiased media!

[buckeye59]

the best joke is in thinking that obama has a prayer against cdr. mccain

[LeBelAge]

The best joke is that conservatives still think they are relevant.

[ThirdSection]

...or that they were ever relevant.

[lizr]

Conservatives better hope that McCain does not die of old age before the election.

[GorgeWags]

Your desperation is showing. This country has finally moved past the ancient, same-as-before past as is ready to embark on a fresh try at a reasonable government of the people, by the people and for the people. The neo-con model has failed in every respect; socially, economically and internationally, and we will dance on it's grave.

[jbeach]

If you're a McCain supporter, be prepared for an interesting ride.

[AMJordan]

Leno was right. We all HAVE been praying since Bush became President.

[Caplan]

Heh...shovel.

I am a sucker for Colbert. He is dead on. Every time.

Best source for political comedy? Hands down the Daily/Colbert block? What are we thinking?
