“The Pentagon has announced a 3-month timetable for gays to be able to serve openly in the military. They want it so coincide with the season finale of ‘Glee.'” – Jay Leno

“John Boehner, the congressman from Ohio, is the new speaker of the House. We know that he cries. It’s some sort of enzyme problem. If he can’t find his car keys, he’ll just sit down and sob.” – David Letterman

“Bristol Palin announced she has a new boyfriend. No word yet on their new baby’s name.” – Jimmy Fallon
