Monday's Late Night Round-Up: Swine Flu, The Ground Zero Fly-Over, And More! (VIDEO)

Huffington Post   First Posted: 05/29/09 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 02:15 PM ET

Late Night

Swine flu was the big topic of conversation last night with Jon Stewart devoting two segments to it, and Stephen Colbert saying that the bird-pig-human combo inherent in this flu was stolen from his paella recipe.

Craig Ferguson focused more on the media coverage of the flu by saying:

"If you flip over to the cable news channels they'd be all 'swine flu, swine flu swine flu, ahhhhh, it's hamageddon, it's the pigpocalypse, it's snout of control.' They just want to scare the crap out of you: 'Is swine flu deadlier than the grim reaper? Stay tuned!'"

More from David Letterman on Bush, and Jon Stewart on flying a giant plane near Ground Zero below.

I love it! A complete bone head move by the administration, of course Obama knew about it, he has to...anytime one of the Air Force One planes is out of commision, he knows!

Notice the lack of posts? HMmmmm interesting! I have a good feeling this is only the first of many to come! Sit back and watch the dog and pony show!

4 safe places....but the pilot has to be Sully. Seriously what genius thought of NOT alerting the F%^king Mayor. Giuliani would have called out the ANG and would have turned this into the next 9-11 to prop up his nonexistent political career. That was a major cock up and O's guy should be looking for a new job.

These were very funny.
The plane thing was a mistake. Not a "needlessly invading Iraq before winning in Afghanistan in order to chase after non-existent WMDs" or "running deficits during a period of economic growth thereby condemning the country to record deficits during an eventual recession" kind of mistake, but still a mistake. I'm happy that President Obama admitted it was a mistake and that no one got hurt rushing out of the buildings.

the decision maker on that fiasco...needs to be FIRED....Obama should have done it IMMEDIATLY
talk about 100% stupidity. "Come on Obama, do the right thing....fire whomever decided to do this...and then tackle those that decided to torture".

Didn't they get clearance for that stunt? Isn't it public knowledge that the mayor of New York was notified? Sheesh
