Roundup of Sunday Funnies - United Nations, Cartoons

From Denny: Awww, come on, we all knew the comics and cartoonists just couldn't leave it alone when it came to United Nations humor! And we are so glad they couldn't keep their hands off or their mouths shut... :)

The Daily Show

Jon Stewart: All the world's bigwigs converged on Gotham (New York City) by jumbo jet, helicopter, motorcade and, of course, jumbo chopper-cade. All to make it to their important meeting about climate change.



The Jay Leno Show

Jay Leno: Moammar Gadhafi-duck, this moron, was at the U.N. today. He talked forever. He talked on Israel and the swine flu and the JFK assassination. Where was Kanye West to grab the microphone away?



Late Show

David Letterman: Look at how tight security is down at the harbor. See there, they got a ... [Screen shows Statue of Liberty wearing Secret Service-style sunglasses]



The Tonight Show

Conan O'Brien: As usual, he was all over the place. Take a look at this. [Video of Gadhafi speaking, with translation captioned as, "We need to work toward peace by understanding each other. For example, this Chinese restaurant menu says free eggroll with order, but when my food arrived ... there was no eggroll."]

From Denny:  You know a Democrat is in the White House when it seeps into the cartoon culture.  Love it, Ziggy!



And since we are talking about political "fat cats" this is fun:



And, to remember, darn, we are starting yet another work week:

This Weeks Roundup of Sunday Funnies - The Real Heckler Behind 'You Lie!'

UPDATE: If you want to see the news videos about the President's media blitz to explain and sell health care reform, I've parked that large post over at Dennys Global Politics. For the link, (6 Videos: President Obamas Media Blitz to Sell Health Care Reform) go here.

From Denny: Actually, my Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu is supporting the public option for health care. Blue Dogs are a Catch-22 for the Democratic Party.

The Blue Dogs are the only thing that have breathed life into the Democratic Party in the South and other parts of the country during the Bush years of domination. They have managed to keep a fingernail-scratching-slipping-almost-hold on seats for the Democrats.

The tide is beginning to turn in the South as more and more middle class people have finally figured out they were lied to and cheated by the Republicans they voted into power. Right now, many are not quite willing to become Democrats but have been changing their voting status to Independent like one third of the nation. If the Democrats ever get their act together they will win back the South.



This is a controversial cartoon...

The Late Late Show

Craig Ferguson: Did you see President Obama's health care speech to Congress last night? I watched every single minute and even took notes. You're thinking, Craig, you lie!

Late Night With Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon: President Obama said that he will not sign a health care plan that adds one dime to the federal deficit. And then he interrupted himself and said, "You lie."

The Tonight Show

Conan O'Brien: Republican Congressman Joe Wilson's apologized for calling President Obama a liar. Obama accepted Wilson's apology and then invited him to appear before a death panel.

Jimmy Kimmel Live

President Obama (clip from joint session): The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.

Man in audience: You lie! Oh, sorry, Mr. President, I was talking about my favorite month -- it's not August, it's not September. It is July!

Late Show

Dave Letterman: Paula Abdul, of course, was the judge that Ellen [DeGeneres] is replacing, but don't worry about Paula Abdul. You know what she is going to do, I just heard this today: She's running for governor of Alaska.

Here's a roundup we missed: U.S. Kept Copy of Keys to Iraq

The Daily Show

Jon Stewart: The United States gave the Iraqis the key back to their own cities. Don't worry, we made a copy.

The Late Late Show

Craig Ferguson: The show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" is returning to prime time. But due to the recession, it's being renamed "Who Wants Five Bucks and a Taco?"

Late Show

David Letterman: Here is good news for Bernie Madoff: Only 149 years, 50 weeks to go. (Probably music to the ears of all his victims...)

This Weeks Roundup of Sunday Funnies - Cambridge Cop Arrests Obama

From Denny: Aww, C'mon, we all knew the late night show folks couldn't leave well enough alone! They just had to take jabs at the President and racism and fuel the controversary.

The Tonight Show

Conan O'Brien: Obama says the conversation went well [between he and Cambridge police officer Sgt. Jim Crowley], but there was an awkward moment when the cop arrested Obama.

Late Show

David Letterman: If we had wanted a president who looked good in pants, we'd have elected Hillary. You know what I mean?

The Daily Show

Jon Stewart: I wasn't at the press conference last night. I also don't have all the facts, but I think it's fair to say Obama handled that question -- oh, what's the word I'm looking for? Stupidly.

Late Show

David Letterman: Sunday will be a big day for Sarah Palin. That's the day she plans to go on her porch and wave goodbye to Russia. Goodbye, Russia.

Jimmy Kimmel Live

Jimmy Kimmel: It's being held up in the Senate by a group of conservative-leaning democrats called Blue Dogs. I never heard of this - they're called blue because they're from blue states and dogs because they roll over for the health care lobby.

Real Time With Bill Maher

Bill Maher: Obama spoke with officer Crowley on the phone. He said he was a good man, a good policeman, and they could find some common ground. Although he did find it strange that at the end of their conversation Crowley demanded to see his birth certificate.
