Letterman and Leno on Bush's vacation
Some good ones from Letterman and Leno:

"President Bush is going on his annual vacation. The White House says he goes to his Texas Ranch to unwind. I'm thinking, when does he wind?"
--David Letterman

"As you know, President Bush is taking 5 weeks off. It's like he's still in the National Guard." --Jay Leno

"It turns out President Bush can run again in the next election. Now I know you're only supposed to be allowed two terms, but the Supreme Court said if you count his vacation time, he's barely served one." --Jay Leno

"President Bush is on a five-week vacation. How many folks get five weeks off a year? You know, if I want five weeks off I have to have open heart surgery, for God's sake." --David Letterman

"President Bush is at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, and here's the good
news -- he says he will only stay until Crawford is capable of self rule."
--David Letterman

"Bush woke up this morning, saw his shadow and now -- six more weeks of
vacation." --Jay Leno

"President Bush is vacationing in Crawford, Texas. He will be vacationing for five weeks. That's a long time. I don't think he has an exit strategy for his vacation either." --David Letterman

"Now is a great time for President Bush to go on vacation because Iraq is pretty much under control. But a White House spokesman said Bush is using his vacation to reconnect with regular people. So you know what that means
-- he's drinking again." --David Letterman

"After President Bush signed the new transportation bill, he said it's not just enough to sign the bill -- people have to show up and do the work. Then he went back to his five-week vacation." --Jay Leno

"President Bush is on week three of his marathon five-week vacation. In
fact, he has been gone on vacation for so long that today in Washington, a judge ruled that a young couple with two children can now legally move into the White House because it appears to have been abandoned by its previous tenants." --Jay Leno

"President Bush is on a five-week vacation. From what? President Bush,
before he went on vacation, he signed a bill that will extend daylight
savings another month. He said it proves we're winning the war on darkness"
--David Letterman

"President Bush is now in the second week of his five-week vacation down there in Crawford, Texas. He's been taking a lot of criticism for this long vacation and his aides say he has his laptop with him so he can still play Solitaire and Minesweep -- so it's business as usual." --Jay Leno

"President Bush is taking his summer vacation. It's a five-week vacation. This is his fiftieth vacation in the last five years -- that's about the national average isn't it? During his five-week vacation, he will continue to receive national security briefings. He won't be reading them, but he will receive them." --David Letterman

"President Bush talked tough today. He said he's not backing out, he's
staying the course for as long as it takes. He's in it for the long haul. Not Iraq -- his 5-week vacation." --Jay Leno

"A lot of people are every critical of President Bush for taking the entire month of August off for his vacation. But his staff points out, there's nothing at the White House he can't do at the ranch because the ranch is fully equipped. It's got the treadmill, the weight room, the jogging path, the big screen TV, they get Nickelodeon. It's got everything he would do." --Jay Leno

"President Bush is on a three-week vacation down in Crawford, Texas, and it's what they call a working vacation. And staff say it is an important time because it's time for him to kick back. And I'm thinking, when does this guy kick forward?" --David Letterman

"So Congress is on recess and Bush is on vacation -- the town is empty.
It's so lonely in D. C. right now the NRA and the oil lobbies are just
giving money to each other." --Jay Leno

:rofl:

8. Bending with the wind is more like it.
In the late 90s, every one of Leno's monologues was at least 40% Clenis jokes. For most of 2001, right up until 9/11, he told lots of * jokes, too. Then he turned into a GOP hack.

The most hateful thing I've seen Leno do was when he responded to criticisms of the Flight Suit by saying it looked better than Robert Byrd in his Klan robes. A couple of years ago, when he diagnosed the French with "chicken pox", I quit in disgust and switched to Letterman. I haven't looked back.

Jay Leno is an amoral opportunist. He will say whatever, and degrade whomever, he thinks will get the biggest laugh from the most people. How Kevin Eubanks puts up with him, I will never understand.

12. Leno
You're probably correct about Leno, but if he's making fun of Bush (1) it's a good sign and (2) Leno's moral character or lack thereof will not stop me from laughing if I happen across the jokes.

19. they didn't before the election
I bet you could make a much longer string of "jokes" directed at Democrats.

But who really believes that Bush plays Minesweep?

More good news, since Bush makes $400,000 a year as President, he got paid $38,461.52 for doing nothing for five weeks. However, I use this for my signature

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
George W Bush, accidentally telling the truth

"I prophesy to you this evil man will plunge our Reich into the abyss and will inflict immeasurable woe on our nation. Future generations will curse you in your grave for this action." Erich Ludendorff

So, in that sense, the less he "works" the better.
