Laugh Lines: Jay Leno, David Letterman and Conan O'Brien
Published: November 12, 2006
JAY LENO
There was a big jump in oil prices over the weekend. ... The Republicans are
furious with the oil companies. They said: "You idiots. We said to wait
until after Tuesday."
The G.O.P. was concerned about Republican turnout. In fact, between the
Congressmen and the preachers, this could be the first year that more
Republicans came out than turned out.
Give you an idea what bad shape they are in. The only Republican with a
"mandate" is Congressman Mark Foley.
The good news. Now that the election is over ... if you want to hear an
annoying political speech you'll have to go to a Barbra Streisand concert.
DAVID LETTERMAN
And the new speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi ... She had lunch today with
President Bush, but the lunch, honestly, did not go well. She would not pass
him anything he asked for.
CONAN O'BRIEN
Senator Hillary Clinton's overwhelming victory has fueled speculation that
she will run for president in 2008. In other words, there was some good news
for Republicans.
