Funnies: Cambridge Cop Arrests Obama
A look at the best in late-night political comedy.
July 26, 2009 — -- Here's a roundup of the late-night comics.
Conan O'Brien: Obama says the conversation went well [between he and Cambridge police officer Sgt. Jim Crowley], but there was an awkward moment when the cop arrested Obama.
David Letterman: If we had wanted a president who looked good in pants, we'd have elected Hillary. You know what I mean?
Jon Stewart: I wasn't at the press conference last night. I also don't have all the facts, but I think it's fair to say Obama handled that question -- oh, what's the word I'm looking for? Stupidly.
David Letterman: Sunday will be a big day for Sarah Palin. That's the day she plans to go on her porch and wave goodbye to Russia. Goodbye, Russia.
Jimmy Kimmel: It's being held up in the senate by a group of conservative-leaning democrats called Blue Dogs. I never heard of this -- they're called blue because they're from blue states and dogs because they roll over for the health care lobby.
Bill Maher: Obama spoke with officer Crowley on the phone. He said he was a good man, a god policeman, and they could find some common ground. Although he did find it strange that at the end of their conversation Crowley demanded to see his birth certificate.
