Bottom of the News… Friday, November 14, 2008

Good morning my fellow Rotarians. Well the longest election in history is finally over! Is that something to be thankful for or not?! Amen! In case you missed the late night talk show following the election, here is a sampling… (thanks to Steve Carpenter)

Late Show with David Letterman
-Attention passengers: The Straight Talk Express is no longer in service.
-I went to bed early ― how did Ralph Nader do?

Late Night with Conan O'Brien
-All of the major networks declared Barack Obama the winner at 11 o’clock last night ― except for MSNBC, which declared Obama the winner six months ago.
-Last night, history was made. That’s right, John McCain stayed up past 11 p.m.

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
-It’s a great day for America. I TiVoed the election so don’t tell me who won . . .
-People all over the world are celebrating Obama’s victory. Sarah Palin watched the Russians celebrating from her house.
-It going to be terrible for late-night talk-show hosts. Obama doesn’t make that many mistakes. How can I do my job? My only hope is Joe Biden!

Jimmy Kimmel Live!
-If not for the first ever African-American president, be happy for the first vice president with hair plugs.
-President Bush called Barack Obama to congratulate him. He said, “What an awesome night for you and your family.” I think his eloquence is what we’ll remember most about President Bush.

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
-This is our first black president since the first season of “24.”
-And finally… After sleeping on his win and getting a closer look at the mess he will inherit, it was rumored that Obama was considering asking for a recount!

And there you have it, a post-election look at the Bottom of the News for this Friday, November 14, 2008!
