Leno, Conan, and Letterman
Jay Leno: “The GSA, they were partying in Vegas. The Secret Service having sex with prostitutes. Suddenly working for the government is one long episode of ‘The Jersey Shore.’”
Jay Leno: “As you know, a member of the Secret Service advance team was in Colombia ahead of President Obama. He got in an argument with an escort over how much he owed her for her services. She said it was $800. He offered her $30. Finally, somebody in Washington willing to cut spending and they fire him.”
Conan O’Brien: “President Obama working hard. This campaign is going at it now. President Obama is proposing to keep student loans cheap as a way to appeal to college students. And if that doesn’t work, Obama’s going to switch to his second proposal, ‘Hey, everybody, free pizza in my room.’”
Jay Leno: “Here’s an interesting revelation. According to his book ‘Dreams from My Father,’ that’s President Obama’s book, President Obama said when he was a boy he ate dog meat. Dog meat? Today Mitt Romney’s dog said, ‘You know, riding on the top of the car, maybe that’s not so bad after all. Whew! I’ll take it! I’ll take it!’”
Jimmy Fallon: “Tonight on the show we have the President of the United States, Barack Obama. Unfortunately, though, a lot of people aren’t able to get tickets, that includes students, professors, Joe Biden. It was a very hot ticket.”
Jimmy Fallon: “President Obama said he’s not going to pander to the students and tell them what they want to hear. I thought it was weird when they changed his slogan from ‘Yes, We Can’ to ‘Duke Sucks.’”
Conan O’Brien: “The Secret Service scandal continues. Political analysts are saying that President Obama doesn’t want to be too critical of the Secret Service because their agents protect him every day. Which explains why today President Obama said it was fiscally responsible refusing to pay the prostitute.”
Jay Leno: “After winning five primaries yesterday, Mitt Romney has his new campaign slogan – ‘Well, I Guess You’re Stuck With Me Now!’”
David Letterman: “I was watching Mitt Romney take a victory lap last night, and I was watching him, and I thought he gets a lot of criticism because he’s kind of stiff. He’s sort of cold. He’s sort of aloof. And I thought, ‘Let’s look on the bright side of this.’ Mitt Romney, honest to God, I think is an inspiration to kids all over this country who sadly were born without a personality. I mean, the sky is the limit.”
David Letterman: “In the wake of the Colombian prostitution scandal, another Secret Service agent has been removed from his position at the White House and demoted to protecting the animatronic Presidents at Disney World.”
Jimmy Kimmel: “According to a new ABC ‘Washington Post’ poll, both Michelle Obama and Ann Romney are more popular than their husbands. Although at this point, asbestos is more popular than their husbands. But while only 56% of Americans have a positive view of the President, 69% have a favorable view of Mrs. Obama. Do you think they use these polls when they have a fight? ‘Excuse me, the last time I checked, 69% of everyone is on my side. So maybe think about that while you go sleep on the couch.’”
Conan O’Brien: “A new Republican ad came out that claims President Obama is now too focused on being cool. Yeah. President Obama hasn’t responded to the ad because he’s too busy snowboarding with the boy band One Direction.”
Jay Leno: “Mitt Romney swept all five primaries the other night. So it looks like he’s the nominee. And in his acceptance speech, Mitt Romney told the American people, ‘Just hold on a little longer.’ Which is the same thing he used to tell his dog when he was tied to the roof of the car. ‘Just hold on a little longer. We’ll be there very soon. Just hang on, Seamus!’”
Jay Leno: “Have you been watching this John Edwards trial? Oh my God, you talk about a fall from grace. I don’t know what kind of president John Edwards would have been, but I’m pretty sure he would have gotten along really well with the Secret Service.”

The Associated Press on President Obama’s recent effort to sway young voters by calling for further student loan reform:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Eager to energize young voters, President Barack Obama is depicting Republicans as obstacles to an affordable college education as he previews an argument he will make on university campuses next week in states crucial to his re-election.
“This is a question of values,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday. “We cannot let America become a country where a shrinking number of people do really well while a growing number of people struggle to get by.”
Obama wants Congress to extend a law that cut interest rates on a popular federal loan program for low- and middle-income undergraduates. If the law expires, the rates will double on July 1, from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent.
Obama blames Republicans for voting against new ways to make college more affordable for middle-class families. But it was House Democrats who cut interest rates on the school loans in 2007 and included an expiration provision that placed the looming increase in the middle of an election year.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan said Friday that more than 7 million students would be financially squeezed if rates were to rise, to the cost of an additional $1,000 on average.
Obama is visiting to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Colorado at Boulder on Tuesday and the University of Iowa on Wednesday. The three schools are in states Obama won in 2008 but are in play this year in his race against the likely Republican nominee, Mitt Romney.
“In America, higher education cannot be a luxury,” Obama said. “It’s an economic imperative that every family must be able to afford.”
He argued that at a time of high joblessness, the rate of unemployment for Americans with a college degree is about half the national average. “It’s never been more important,” he said.
The courting of young voters will include an appearance on NBC’s “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” show, which will be taped while Obama is in North Carolina.
While Obama addressed education as his newest election-year theme, Republicans stuck to their criticism of Obama’s energy policies. Citing still high gasoline prices, Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri said Obama is focusing on the wrong issues.
Blunt chided Obama and Senate Democrats in the GOP’s weekend address for pushing unsuccessfully for a tax increase on millionaires instead of focusing on consumer pain at the pump. He pressed Obama to drop his opposition to the Keystone XL Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline, which the president blocked earlier this year. The administration says it is waiting for the pipeline developer, TransCanada, to submit a new route that avoids environmentally sensitive lands. The company unveiled a preferred route on Thursday.
“The Keystone pipeline is one common-sense step in the right direction to help put more people back to work, reduce prices at the pump and position our nation for greater energy security now and in the future,” Blunt said.

Leno, Conan, and Letterman
Craig Ferguson: “Over the weekend, 11 Secret Service agents were busted with prostitutes. … Honestly, I don’t want to judge these people. They’re role models who sacrifice so much for others and so are the Secret Service. Here’s what scares me though. If a Secret Service guy can’t even go to a hooker and keep it secret, what hope — ?”
Craig Ferguson: “President Obama talked about the scandal today. He said he’s reserving judgment until all the facts are in or at least until he figures out a way to blame this on Mitt Romney.”
Craig Ferguson: “According to his tax return, President Obama made $800,000 last year. In fact, the President made so much money last year that today he endorsed Mitt Romney for President.”
Conan O’Brien: “President Obama has ordered an investigation into the Secret Service sex scandal. And before Obama had even finished issuing the order, Bill Clinton said, ‘I am on it.’”
Conan O’Brien: “Ann Romney is defending her husband for strapping the family dog to the roof of their station wagon when on a family trip saying the dog loved it. Unfortunately, the dog could not be reached for comment because he ran away to stay with Michael Vick.”
Conan O’Brien: “President Obama is gearing up for his presidential campaign. He’s created a new series of ads aimed at Latinos. The first ad boasts that ‘Just last week my Secret Service created jobs for 11 Colombian women.’ That’s a lot of jobs.”
Conan O’Brien: “Mitt Romney is weighing in” on the Secret Service scandal. “He said Secret Service personnel involved in the scandal should be fired for putting ‘play time ahead of the nation.’ So I think the real story here is that Mitt Romney describes prostitutes and cocaine as ‘play time.’ He’s cooler than I thought.”
Jimmy Kimmel: “Mitt Romney is getting a lot of heat from animal lovers because of a story he told of when he put his dog Seamus in a pet carrier and strapped the carrier to the roof of his car for a 12 hour road trip. But now President Obama is the subject of a canine controversy, thanks to his own book. In Obama’s memoir, called, ‘Dreams from My Father,’ he talked about his childhood in Indonesia living with his stepfather, Lolo, he said when he was eight years old, Lolo introduced him to a number of unusual meats, including dog. Our President ate dog.”
Jimmy Kimmel: “What I find most amazing about this is this is not something that someone dug up on him from a distant relative in Indonesia or something. This was in chapter in a book the President wrote about himself. How did we miss this? If Ryan Seacrest wrote a book saying he ate dog, we would go nuts. I guess now you are either on Team Strap Your Dog to the Roof or Team Throw Your Dog on the Hibachi.”
Conan O’Brien: “That Secret Service sex scandal keeps growing. More unfolds every day. Here’s the latest, three of the Secret Service agents involved in the sex and cocaine scandal are now leaving the agency. Yeah. On the bright side, they’re going to have one hell of a going away party.”
Jimmy Kimmel: “The escort claims that the agents said they did not remember agreeing to pay $800, because they were drunk the night before and she refused to leave the room until she got paid. Eventually they settled for $225. These are the guys we should put in charge of negotiating our foreign debt. ‘Sorry, China, we really don’t remember borrowing. We were drunk. We’ll give you a watch and some shoes.’”
Jimmy Kimmel: “Eleven Secret Service men are being investigated. So far, one has been fired, one resigned, one retired and the rest are thinking about leaving just because the party is over. It used to be a fun job and now all they’re doing is standing around in sunglasses waiting to take a bullet for somebody they don’t really know, which — what’s the point of that?”
