Funnies: Blagojevich Laughs
A look at the best in late-night political comedy.
Dec. 14, 2008 — -- Here's a roundup of the late-night comics.
Colbert: You got to give the man [Blagojevich] credit. He prepared for the media attacks by wearing a helmet.
Leno: Congress wants to appoint a government car czar to oversee the auto companies. Today, President Bush said "Car czar? Isn't he the president of Afghanistan?"
Letterman: This is the new Osama bin Laden videotape. Take a look. Bin Laden tape with VO of Bin Laden impersonator: I swear that we will continue our jihad and defeat the infidel. And by the way, if it's still available, I would like to put in a bid for that Illinois senate seat.
Fitzgerald: Gov. Blagojevich has taken us to a truly new low. Colbert: A new low in dumb. Gov. Blagojevich, you knew you were under investigation and you used you own phone! I can only imagine you Facebook status. [Full screen of Facebook page with status saying "Rod is accepting bribes."]
Leno: It was so blatant. Take a look. Blagojevich with auctioneer voice: We have a senate seat up for sale, formerly Barack Obama's. Obama, Obama, Obama, now president. Prestigious position. I'll hold the bidding up at $100,000. $110,000. $115,000, $125,000. Sold!
Blagojevich: I can tell you that whatever I say is always lawful. And the things I'm interested in doing are always lawful. Stewart: Well, clearly this man has nothing to hide except perhaps whatever is written on his forehead.
