Tuesday's Late Night Round-Up: Cheney's Cuteness, Obama's Handshake And Torture's Official Sponsor (VIDEO)

Jay Leno poked fun at old and new media last night saying:

"So many newspapers all across the country going out of business, it's pretty scary. So congratulations to the 'New York Times' this week, they won five Pulitzer Prizes this week...I read about it online on Google News."

David Letterman, on the other hand, ran yet another fake political ad for the now-defunct Bush administration. In last night's, Cheney was deemed "American's Cutest Vice President."

More from Jon Stewart on Obama's meeting with Chavez and Colbert on torture's official sponsor below.

"One sip and you'll say pretty much anything"...Colbert is the best

[campfreddy]

All I've got to say on this is:

Rumsfield shaking hands with Saddam Hussein....

Bush holding hands with the Saudis....

[Doug Flight]

And lest we forget Bush "Kissing" the Saudis?

The republicans keep digging themselves into a hole. Lets hope they dig themselves so deep that they can never crawl out off. It's not deep enough yet. They still can crawl out from time to time an say something absolutely stupid. But every time a republican opens their mouths we gain more votes for the dems.

As a former elected official, I know one of the cardinal rules of being an elected official is that you have to treat everyone civilly - even those who you don't like or respect. It is how you transcend being a politician to become a statesman. Also known as suffering fools gladly. It's part of the job.

He tortures, lies us into a war, kills over 4,500 Americans for it, and disabled over 40,000 Americans and killed over 100,000 Iraqis with NO regrets !

Anybody see Jon Stewart last night and the clip of the guy (a congressman) shown on Fox News saying how angry he was with Obama shaking hands with Chavez and then he said "...and God only knows what they did in the hotel behind closed doors" - who was this creep? It's the following evening now and I'm still seething over this!

[skymuffin]

These guys have such repressed, naughty thoughts, that if they just came over to the Progressive side, they could feel so much better.

[Roses]

Does he know how Bush kissed and held hands with the Saudi king? I bet he could really dream up a good scenario for those two!

[nikkirkpatrick]

hes already done that bit

[DaisyDooks]

Funny!

[JeanUK]

Jon Stewart's was hella funny. The Sweden bit especially, the the here's your moment, "He's ignorant." by the ignorant new pundit. LMAO.

Seriously are the Republicans watching this???
Somehow they must realise the depth of their stupidity.

President Obama had a photo op with Hugo Chavez of Venezuala - so what, Nixon shook hands with some of the most nasty people of the 20th century. .............

[shmoos]

Nixon himself was no cinderella

[Hirnlego]

Can find pictures with any president shaking hands with questionable people. If there were more journalists they'd point them out and say that guilt by association is a fallacy and it does not mean that that the president is necessarily a fan of person "x".

[Bwine]

Nixon often dressed up as Cinderella

[jeliz]

Nothing Nixon did compared to what the Bush administration did.

[NoDubya]

Bush shook hands with Chavez. Nobody seems to remember that.

[Dbos]

You should have seen the Latin American press on that "How can anyone shake hands with Bush ".
