The late night comics last night focused primarily on perceptions that John Kerry won last week's presidential debate, as well as several other topics.
Jay Leno:
"There's another new audio tape allegedly made by Osama bin Laden's deputy calling for more attacks. Also on the tape, two new songs by Cat Stevens."
Jay Leno:
"Prime Minister Tony Blair is recovering from a mild operation to repair a heart flutter. Doctors said his heart first started to flutter when he watched President Bush trying to explain his position on Iraq."
Jay Leno:
"President Bush got some bad news today. Another debate on Friday."
Jay Leno:
"Political experts say Bush was off his game the other night. They said he looked distracted, confused, at a loss for words. Off his game? That is Bush's game."
Jay Leno:
"I saw it on the cover of Newsweek today and ABC, CNN – they all say that John Kerry won the debate the other night. Kerry won. Well, I just hope this doesn't give him a swelled head."
Jay Leno:
"Tomorrow night is the big vice presidential debate between Dick Cheney and John Edwards. The heartthrob versus the throbbing heart."
Jay Leno:
"A Fox reporter who covered the Kerry campaign for Fox, a guy named Carl Cameron. He's in a lot of trouble for posting fake quotes for John Kerry on the Fox News Website. Four fake quotes. He said it was all a joke. Kind of like 'fair and balanced.' That's how the network works. You see, CBS makes up stuff about Bush, Fox makes up things about Kerry. Fair and balanced."
David Letterman:
After the debate, "Kerry is so confident that he's windsurfing again."
David Letterman:
"Tomorrow night, the vice presidential debates. Right now, Dick Cheney is practicing his warm sneer."
