Note: Most of the late-night shows are in reruns this week, but you can get your joke fix by reading some of the funnier late-night jokes of 2010.

10. ''One of John McCain's former top campaign aides says that when he talked to Sarah Palin after McCain picked her to be his running mate, she said it was 'God's plan.' So, apparently, God wanted Obama to win.'' —Jay Leno

9. ''It's not that the Democrats are playing checkers and the Republicans are playing chess. It's that the Republicans are playing chess and the Democrats are in the nurse's office because once again they glued their balls to their thighs.'' —Jon Stewart

8. ''Due to an explosive interview in Rolling Stone magazine, our top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, has been ordered home to explain why he criticized the president, made fun of Joe Biden, and called the White House staff a bunch of clowns. He should be called home. That's not the general's job. That is my job.'' —Jay Leno

7. ''I find it strange that Sarah Palin would be shopping a reality show considering the fact that she hasn't shown much interest in reality.'' —Jimmy Kimmel

6. ''According to the New York Post, Tiger Woods has hired former President Bush's press secretary Ari Fleischer to help with his public relations campaign. Is George Bush's guy really the one you want in charge of your approval rating? If it was up to me, I'd hire Clinton's guy.'' —Jimmy Kimmel

5. ''I want to just take a moment to thank the Teabaggers. Thank you so much for helping us pass health care, for resurrecting the Obama presidency. I know they're saying, 'Why are you thanking me? I was so against it, I marched on Washington with tea bags hanging off my Founding Fathers costume, with a gun on my hip and a picture of Obama dressed as Hitler, screaming about his birth certificate.' And America saw that and said, 'I think I'll go with the calm black man.''' —Bill Maher

4. ''Republican donors aren't happy about this. It's not fair that rich Republicans spend huge amounts of money at sex clubs and poor Republicans have to go to airport bathrooms.'' —Craig Ferguson, on the RNC lesbian bondage club scandal

3. ''This man devoted his life to curing homosexuality. And you know, people have to stop saying that just because someone is an anti-gay activist they might be gay. They're definitely gay! They are 100% sausage-smoking, Barbara Streisand-loving, Project Runway-ready gay. '' —Bill Maher, on Rev. George Rekers, who was caught returning from an overseas trip with a male prostitute

2. ''The Republicans released their 'Pledge to America.' It's 21 pages of phony charts and bad ideas. Sarah Palin got a copy, and she said, 'How am I supposed to fit all this crap on my hand?'' —Bill Maher

1. ''Sarah Palin's speaking contract rider requires two first-class tickets from Alaska or a private jet from Alaska, nothing smaller than a Lear 60, and it has to have a window she can shoot out of. She has to have three hotel rooms, a wooden podium, not plexiglass, two bottles of water, and best of all, a supply of bendable straws. This is a complicated woman. On one hand, you know, she'll blow a moose's head off at 300 yards, but on the other, bendy straws.'' —Jimmy Kimmel
