Late Night Political Humor

“I gotta say, of all my issues with Michele Bachmann’s brain, migraines are not even in the top 20.” – Jon Stewart

“A couple of people who worked for the presidential candidate Michele Bachmann say that she gets these chronic migraines. That’s been the story. To derail her candidacy a lot of people are trying to make it like it’s a female thing, cause she gets these headaches. It’s not. President Obama also has a chronic headache. It’s called Joe Biden.” – Jay Leno

“Michele Bachmann says if she is elected president, she will outlaw gay marriage – and ban Neil Patrick Harris from hosting the Tony Awards.” – David Letterman

‎”Bringing gay history into our classrooms teaches our children a dangerous lesson: that gay people exist.” – Stephen Colbert

“When you’re a gay couple getting married, who gets the bachelor party? Who goes downstairs in the middle of the night to check on the noise? Who forgets the anniversary? Who refuses to stop and ask for directions? And which one of you will take forever to get ready?” – David Letterman

“House Speaker John Boehner invited new congressmen over for pizza last night. Unfortunately, the delivery guy left when they spent ten hours fighting over a plan to pay for it.” – Jimmy Fallon

“Still no deal on the debt ceiling. Washington is keeping us on the edge of our seat – a seat that will soon be repossessed.” – Craig Ferguson

“Amid the heat, health officials are telling Americans to stay home. Americans responded by saying, ‘We are home. We have no jobs.'” – Conan O’Brien

“President Obama’s motorcade was fined $16 for traffic it caused while in the United Kingdom. Typical for Obama, he said, ‘My grandkids will pay for it.'” – Jay Leno

“Texas Governor Rick Perry now says his wife has been encouraging him to run for President. Remember first he told us God told him to run; now his wife is telling him to run. Of course, the big difference; if you ignore what God says you don’t have to hear about it until the afterlife. That’s the only difference.” – Jay Leno

“Cowboys & Aliens is supposed to be the next big blockbuster. Doesn’t that sound like a game Arnold Schwarzenegger would play with his maid?” – Jay Leno
