The conclusion of the presidential campaign and the new Osama bin Laden tape received the most mentions last night in the late night talk show monologues.
Jay Leno:
"Remember tomorrow, it's not who wins that's important, it's the fact that this campaign has finally ended."
Jay Leno:
"President Bush told an Ohio reporter that he was unfazed that Osama bin Laden has not been caught. And he said, 'It's only a matter of time until Osama bin Laden is caught.' Well, it better be in the next hour."
Jay Leno:
"The Red Sox victory has even given hope to both the campaigns. Like, it's given hope to John Kerry because he's from Boston. And it's given hope to President Bush because, although they made a lot of errors on the ground, it didn't cost them."
David Letterman:
"You folks seen that new Osama bin Laden tape? Kind of scary, don't you think? I thought this was nice: In the tape he reminds Americans to set their clocks back."
David Letterman:
"The polls now show the presidential candidates in a dead heat, and in case of a tie, the presidency, of course, goes to the guy whose brother is governor of Florida."
David Letterman:
"Bush is very confident about the election tomorrow. He's so confident that he's going to win that today he was campaigning in front of a 'Mission Accomplished' banner."
