10. "And the Postal Service
announced last week the Post Office lost $3.8 billion last year. I've got a
good idea. Let's put the government in charge of healthcare! Fantastic
idea!" -Jay Leno
9. "In what reporters are calling a very strange press conference, New Jersey
Governor Jon Corzine blamed his re-election loss on the fact that he has a
beard. He said he believes Americans won't elect a leader with a beard. Yeah,
I'll mention that to Abraham Lincoln next time I see him." -Jay Leno
8. "Former Vice President Dick Cheney is in the news. Cheney slammed
President Obama for bowing before the emperor of Japan. Cheney said, 'Come on,
it's not like he's the CEO of Exxon.'" -Conan O'Brien

problems." -Conan O'Brien
5. "The Senate unveiled its own version of the healthcare bill yesterday.
It will cost $849 billion and cover 31 million Americans. It's so exciting.

combined with the bill in House, then re-voted on again by both houses and then
signed into law, which will take effect in three years. Exciting, right?!"
-Jimmy Fallon

write the book for her." -Jimmy Kimmel
3. "Anyway, President Obama today
met with Chinese leader Hu Jintao. But in China, the first name is actually the
surname, so he's known as President Hu. So of course, every time he meets an
English-speaking leader, it's like the Abbott and Costello routine. 'Sir, Hu's
here.' 'Who's here to see me?' 'That's what I'm telling you. Hu.' 'What are you
talking about?'" -Craig Ferguson
2. "President Obama arrived in China yesterday. And
to foster the spirit of good will, he wore the traditional clothes made by the

Reebok." -Jay Leno
1.

1. "In Washington, D.C., today,
the Senate paid tribute to West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd, who officially
became the longest serving lawmaker in the history of Congress. He turns 92 on

floor. They were strongly urged to keep speeches brief, just in case."
-Jimmy Kimmel
2. . "You know who's coming to New
York City? Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is coming here. He's coming to New York City

Rogue.'" -David Letterman
