Stupid Old Pantsuit Girls

I realize Dave and Jay are unbelievably successful telling topical jokes each night, but the rest of the world follows their lead. Therefore, I'm calling for a moratorium on the following subjects and punchlines:

Hillary Clinton: pantsuits

Bill Clinton: he likes girls

John McCain: he's too old

George W. Bush: he's stupid (although it's contextual; he's stupid one minute, but the next he's brilliant enough to fake 9/11 and scam the entire world into a war)

Those punchlines are as old as John McCain. Bill Clinton can't even get any more dates using them. Bush doesn't understand them, and they haven't changed since the last time Hillary wore a dress.

And speaking of Hillary, is it ironic that Barack Obama is asking people to bail her out of her campaign debt?

Maybe she should get a part-time job like most Americans would have to do. But I'm sure they know that being champions of the common people.

Chinese Repossess Space Station Toilet

BEIJING -- Days after flight engineer Oleg Kononenko replaced the pump on the malfunctioning toilet at the International Space Station, collection agents from the Chinese government took it all away.

According to a spokesman for the Chinese, the decision to take the only toilet in space wasn’t easy. Through a translator he released a statement.

“We don’t like to re-po toilets, but Americans owe us a lot of money; we have to start collecting. NASA is avoiding us. So we call the astronauts each day since they bought the toilet. They never called back. We even stopped by the Space Station and rang the doorbell. They pretend they weren’t home but we could see them peeking through the curtains.”

NASA is taking swift action. They plan to bid on the space toilet when the Chinese auction it on eBay.
