It took more than an hour. And since you don't want to spend an hour reading a blog post, here are the Top Ten Funny Things That Happened When The President Of The United States Did Letterman.
10. During the opening monologue, Dave praised the diligence of the Secret Service. "They even checked under my hairpiece. Security is tighter than Joan Rivers' face. . . . I think this is a relief for all of us. The building has been cleared of all Republican Congressmen."
9. During Top Ten list, the Number Two Reason Why Obama Agreed To Appear On The Show: "Said yes, without thinking, like Bush did with Iraq." (The Top 10 list was reported by the press pool who witnessed a live taping of the show, but it was inexplicably edited out of the version of the show I watched in D.C., no doubt to make more room for another Cialis ad, or perhaps #7.)
8. When Obama came out, you could see the Secret Service agents lurking just off the stage.
7. A lady from Missouri in the audience brought a two-year-old heart-shaped potato. Dave announced this fact with something like derisive pity, and then he welcomed the president on stage. "I want you to know that the main reason I am here," Obama said. "I want to see that heart-shaped potato." He was handed the potato. "This is remarkable," he continued. It was not. It looked like a turd. The potato bearer was named Mary Apple. Obama said, "Is your real name Mary Apple? And you carry heart-shaped potato?" He thanked her for sharing. Later Dave asked, "Could you get that potato in the Smithsonian?" "I think I could," Obama said.

I really don't see what's so funny.

Does anyone else remember when the late night shows were funny?
I miss Johnny Carson. :(

Nothing to see here folks. Move along. The president is doing a shitty job but damn it! Those jokes are sure funny!!! :whatever:

What was the name of that late night show out of Canada.?
Darn that show would put a 30 year old in depends. Shocking, lively and not fully scripted, lots of ODD spontaneous ab lib.
Tom something that married into Hollywood royalty, was divorced and seldom heard from again.
That son of a gun put his parents on the show and made them a laughing stock.
Was I upset at what he put his family through, Heck no, I was trying to see the TV screen through tears of laughter.
Then the BBC that still replays Benny Hill.
Comedy Club---------Jews making fun of their religion and life style.
Blacks making fun of the gettos and pimps.
Mexicans making fun of drugs-----I have to admit I love Cheech and Chong.
Me, I am looking for a 5'2" 50 year old male, french Canadian lumberjack to come on stage.

I think the Tom Snyder show was funnier than Letterman is now.

You're lucky you're a fellow woman. We men know to never, ever ask a woman that question. Ever. You'll probably get away with just a severe beating and a limp.

I only asked because, if MamaC's waiting for class and dignity to get back in the White House...she might have a long wait unless someone wonderful appears out of the woodwork for 2012.... :clueless:
I'm the oldest woman here.... :bawl:

Maybe Mrs. Bush or Mrs. Reagan will be invited someday before 2012.

Replace Paul and his band with Larry "Bud" Melman. I can't stand Schaeffer , he's just a suckup to Letterman.

Glad to know there's someone else out there who doesn't like Schaeffer. I find him extremely annoying. He might be extremely musically talented...but I can't get past the personality.

The fact I put him on there should tell you something about my opinion of Letterman--that and I can't put Larry "Bud" Melman up there twice.

H/T moonbattery. I do think Letterman should have been curled up in his lap, though. :-)
