I Like ItI Don’t Like It

David Letterman welcomed Johanna Sigurdardottir to office, the world's first lesbian Prime Minister, by calling her the "only foreign leader who likes Bush." Other late-night hosts joked about everything from the state of the Republican party to Amy Winehouse.

From Conan O'Brien:

"Amy Winehouse's apartment was robbed and the thieves stole a flat-screen tv and some recording equipment but no drugs. Winehouse says she keeps her drugs in a top secret hiding place: her blood stream."

More highlights from Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Jay Leno below.

Is this sweeps time? Colbert seems to be more funny than usual lately. Goth Lindsay Graham had me in tears laughing.

The sad thing is the people who should learn from Jon Stewart's joke are the least likely to get it.

If you think about it, Letterman's comment was weird.
He infers that none of the male heads of state like "bush".

A bizarre inference.

Well I'm sure you get it, but the metaphor was there.

Well it's that a lot of his jokes are predictable and they dont exactly try too hard in a 12:35 am timeslot.

But anyway Letterman & Jay made me laugh.

Wednesday's joke: O'bobo recognizes he can't possibly get his bill passed until he takes out the pork for his buddies that bought the election.

Ha ha. You and your republick party have nothing to offer the American citizen. No more aristocracy! Reaganomics are to blame tax the hell out of the rich!

Oh, how you've made me a fan of yours.! Nobody has been so clear sighted as to come up with O'bobo. How utterly demeaning - how cutsie. Oh, and 'bought the election'. what originality, what insight. I'm in love with your intellect and wit. -- Joe

Not having even a single idea of their own, Republicans have moved beyond doing the sole task of demonizing the policies of others, to demonizing others personally.

Good luck with that. And so happy your power is limited :)

Republicans outspend Democrats on elections for decades, then for the first time a Democrat outspends a Republican and Republicans start whining. I thought you guys loved money.

In the year 2020, I'm still going to be hearing Bush jokes. Get over it. I think Jon Stewart must have a crush on him.

I for one loved it .... the fact is we now have a president that is competent so it's hard to make fun of him. your homo analogous reference to jon loving bush shows your juvenile mentality and trolling behavior. time to move on to www.nascar.com blog page.

Well we had to put up with Bush for 8 years, I think we are entitled to a few years to get even.

I like Jon Stewart, and he doesn't have a crush on Bush. Jon can't help it if Bush is the comic joke that just keeps on giving.
