Late Night Political Humor

“Michele Bachmann is kind of like Sarah Palin but without the charisma — or marksmanship. You know, maybe we should stop telling kids that anyone can grow up to be president of the United States.” – Jimmy Kimmel

“She announced her candidacy from Waterloo — a name synonymous with victory.” – Stephen Colbert

“A senior al-Qaida leader was arrested in Afghanistan and he was disguised as a woman. Police became suspicious after he was seen stoning himself.” – Conan O’Brien

“[Texas is] cancelling fireworks because it might lead to fire. That’s like cancelling a carnival because it might lead to being abducted by carnies.” – Stephen Colbert
