Political Irony

“Finding bin Laden was like finding a needle in a country that swore it didn’t have needles.” – Stephen Colbert

‘He was living a half a mile from Pakistan’s version of West Point in a town surrounded by retired ex-military officers. Let me put it in New York City terms. Bin Laden was on 21st and Seventh Avenue; they were on 21st and Ninth Avenue. If the Pakistani military academy were Domino’s, they would have been delivered to bin Laden on foot.’ – Jon Stewart

“The CIA says bin Laden’s last words were, ‘Are you guys here about the dishwasher?'” – Jimmy Kimmel

“The hot new drink around the country is the bin Laden. It’s a Colt 45 and a shot that goes right to your head.” – Jay Leno

“This is the best time ever to be a Navy SEAL — or a guy in a bar claiming to be a Navy SEAL.” – Jimmy Kimmel

“Yesterday Rush Limbaugh opened his show with ‘Thank God for President Obama.’ In other words, the Apocalypse has begun.” – Conan O’Brien

“Rush Limbaugh said yesterday that Obama never would have tracked down bin Laden if it weren’t for George W. Bush’s policies. Although in fairness, Obama never would have even been elected if it weren’t for George W. Bush’s policies.” – Jimmy Fallon

“Obama’s even getting a little cocky. Today he held a press conference and said, ‘Yeah, I was born in Kenya. What you gonna do about it?'” – Jay Leno

“The White House says they will release the Osama bin Laden death photo. Better yet, they’re doing it on a set of limited edition commemorative plates.” – Conan O’Brien

“There’s one thing we should thank bin Laden for. Because of his death, for one whole day, we didn’t talk about Charlie Sheen” – Jimmy Kimmel
