good news is, he has no plans to foreclose. We can stay another month."

"Last night was possibly the last show ever of 'Sarah Palin's Alaska,'

by the equal time rules. Also, she just likes to quit things."
-Jimmy
Kimmel
"When a candidate walks away from a reality show, that's when you know
they're serious about being president of the United States."
-Jay
Leno
"Sad news. It looks like 'Sarah Palin's Alaska' won't be back for a
second year. How does that make her feel? She was governor, almost vice
president. She gets one year. Snooki's on her third year."
-Jay
Leno
"Sarah Palin should pick The Situation from 'Jersey Shore' as her vice
president. That way, we can get rid of two reality shows at once."

Leno

angry speech directed at Sarah Palin in which case it is a call to
violence."

teller he wanted the money in twenties, forties and sixties. Authorities
believe he could be one of President Obama's economic advisers."

"John Edwards has denied 'The National Enquirer' story that he asked his
mistress to marry him. Who are you gonna believe, the sleazy purveyor of
lies or 'The National Enquirer'?"

of testosterone in a man. When that happens, the man will also start to
cry and then eventually be elected speaker of the House."

Leno

museum. The museum is called 'San Francisco.'"

Limbaugh's radio show."
-Conan O'Brien

way resemble how we actually talk to each other on TV. Let's at least
make troubled individuals easier to spot."
