A look at the best in late-night political comedy.
Aug. 23, 2009 — -- Here's a roundup of the late-night comics.
Bill Maher: So they're going to have a run-off election in Afghanistan. That's when the Taliban shows up and everyone runs off.
Bill Maher: That is what American democracy has come down to at town halls: old people and gun nuts, which is a terrible combination. Somebody yelled AK-47, and an old lady yelled bingo.
Conan O'Brien: Critics of the federal stimulus plan say that millions of dollars are being wasted on fixing up bathrooms at our national parks. Yeah, fixing up the bathrooms. Yeah, they may be right, 'cause, this week, they turned Old Faithful into a bidet.
Dave Letterman: Niney percent of all paper money in this country has traces of cocaine. Talk about your stimulus money.
Video of Barney Frank at town hall:: Ma'am, trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table.
Jon Stewart:It's time for health care town hall, snap! You better hope Blue Cross doesn't consider ugly a pre-existing condition. Oh, damn! Your momma's so dumb she thinks the public option is a port-a-potty.
