The best political jokes of 2010

By OhMyGov Jan 01 2011, 11:41 AM

The late-night shows are on hiatus until Jan. 3, but in the meantime you can get your joke fix by reading our roundup of the best late-night jokes of 2010 in no particular order…

 

''President Obama finally met with BP's CEO, Tony Hayward, but the meeting was only scheduled 20 minutes. Call me crazy, but I think it should take more time to discuss an oil spill than it does to get your oil checked.'' —Jimmy Fallon

 

''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

 

''Promoting his new book, President Bush visited the headquarters of Facebook. Unfortunately, he spent the whole visit on Farmville, clearing brush.'' —Conan O'Brien

 

''It looks like the Bush-era tax cuts for the rich will continue, due to a strong Republican leader, Barack Obama. Today Obama changed his slogan from 'Yes we can' to 'Yes, we caved.' It's so bad for him, now Democrats want to see his birth certificate.'' —Jay Leno

 

''We're learning more and more about the new Massachusetts senator, Scott Brown. Well, you probably know this. Back in 1982, he posed naked for Cosmo. Yeah, isn't that amazing? He's got it backwards. First you get elected to the Senate, then you get caught with your pants down.'' —Jay Leno

 

''President Obama held a ceremony at the White House to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah. In response, Republicans said, 'It's even worse than we thought. He's a Jewish Muslim.''' —Conan O'Brien

 

''I do miss George Bush. Compared to these teabaggers and the people who are pandering to them, he looks like a professor.'' —Bill Maher

 

''In Austin, Texas, President Obama told an audience, 'If you want to go forward you put your car in 'D.' If you want to go backward, you put your car in 'R.'' But you know something? Either way, the economy is still F'd.'' —Jay Leno

 

''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

 

''Democrats are calling Christine O'Donnell 'the Sarah Palin of the East.' Really? She's a loud, emotionally unstable woman from Delaware. That's not Sarah Palin, that's Joe Biden.'' —Craig Ferguson

 

On Glenn Beck's complaints that critics of Arizona's immigration are making Nazi comparisons: ''Glenn Beck is offended! Glenn Beck thinks playing the Nazi card is going too far. Glenn Beck -- this is a guy who uses more Swastika props and video of the Nuremberg rallies than the History Channel.'' —Lewis Black, in a 'Daily Show' rant in which he demonstrated that Glenn Beck has 'Nazi Tourette's'

 

''What a week in Washington. They passed health care, they're talking about immigration reform, it looks like they've ended 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' and they're legalizing marijuana. Let me tell you something, if you're a gay drug dealer from Mexico who snuck across the border for free health care so you could join the Navy, this is the greatest year of your life.'' —Jay Leno

 

''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

 

''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

 

''This week Arizona signed the toughest illegal immigration law in the country, which would allow the police to demand identification papers from anyone they suspect is in the country illegally. I know there are some people in Arizona worried that Obama is acting like Hitler, but can we all agree that there's nothing more Nazi than saying, 'Show me your papers?''' —Seth Meyers

 

''TSA says they are going to crack down on the invasive pat-downs. In fact, one agent was transferred to another parish.'' —David Letterman

 

''Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me eight times, I must be a f**king idiot.'' —Jon Stewart, on the last eight presidents vowing to end America's addiction to foreign oil

 

''What is it with conservatives? It seems like if they're anti-illegal alien, they have illegal aliens working for them. If they're anti-gay, they turn out to be gay. If they're super Christian, they're a witch.'' —Bill Maher

 

''Ukraine announced plans to open Chernobyl, their nuclear disaster site, to tourists. They say it's just like Disneyland, except the 6-foot mouse is real.'' —Conan O'Brien

 

''There is a new bill in the Senate that is upsetting a lot of people. This bill would give the President the power to shut off the Internet. Al Gore is strongly opposed to it. Not because he invented the Internet. Because he did. But because he just signed up for Match.com.'' —Craig Ferguson

 

''Newt Gingrich is so pro-marriage, he can't stop doing it. He is so morally upright, that he's only had sex after he was married. Just not always to the woman he was married to.'' —Stephen Colbert, slamming Newt Gingrich for moral hypocrisy

Craig Ferguson is so funny! I love his show! I saw his stand up show as well. His opener Randy Kagan was surprisingly funny as well. I highly recommend.

Many existing laws and regulations apply specifically to pregnant women. Several provisions of the Affordable Care Act offer new benefits for expecting mothers. Search online for "Wise Health Insurance" if you need affordable insurance for yourself or your wife.
