Kilborn

"John Kerry suspended his campaign for five days this week in honor of
President Reagan. And right now, he's ahead in the polls. How's that make

campaign." -David Letterman

"The campaign for the White House is heating up with John Kerry taking heat
for throwing his Vietnam medals away, getting a $1000 haircut, and wearing a
1970s wig known as 'the Leno.' There are really two sides to this story. And

"President Bush said John Kerry is on both sides of every issue. And Kerry
replied, 'No, I'm not ... but there is some truth to that.' " -Craig Kilborn

"The prisoner scandal is yet another election year problem for President
Bush. And, with the economy still struggling, combat operations in Iraq
dragging on, and the 9-11 hearings revealing damning information, even an
opponent of limited political skill should be able to capitalize on those
problems. The Democrats, however, chose to nominate John Kerry." -Jon
Stewart

"Insiders have begun voicing serious concerns about how he's conducting his
campaign. One aide told the New York Times that while Bush's message of

different messages in the 18 months he's been running, including, at one

environment.'" -Jon Stewart

message." -David Letterman

Spanish. And he showed people he could be boring in two languages." -Jay
Leno

afternoon ride, fell off in front of the news media. Luckily, his hair broke

seriously injured. In fact, when the police arrived, Kerry was well enough
to give conflicting reports to the officers about what happened." -Jay Leno

"Please explain to me why John Kerry sounds more dickish telling the truth
than Bush sounds when he's lying. How is that possible?" -Jon Stewart

week and they said that if he is elected president, she will be the oldest

'To me, she looks like a million bucks'" -Jay Leno

"John Kerry reportedly flew in his private hairdresser before his "Meet the
Press" interview for a total cost of $1,000. That's $1,000 for a haircut,
which sounds like a lot, but have you seen the size of Kerry's head." -Jay
Leno

picture of John Kerry. The bad news, the majority still thinks he's the dad

opposed to John Kerry who just marries them." -Jay Leno

doctors said the senator was fully awake, lucid and joking after the surgery

boring self soon afterward." -Jay Leno

"John Kerry will undergo surgery to repair his right shoulder. He originally
hurt it when he suddenly switched positions on Iraq." -Craig Kilborn

"Today, John Kerry announced a fool-proof plan to wipe out the $500B
deficit. John Kerry has a plan, he's going to put it on his wife's Gold
Card." -Craig Kilborn

offers us a choice of two well-informed opposing positions on every issue.
OK, they both belong to John Kerry, but they're still there." -Jay Leno

Kerry. You can understand why - with two positions on every issue, he has

raise the $80 million: soliciting Democratic donors and going through his
wife's purse." -Conan O'Brien

"John Kerry says that he wants to debate President Bush once a month until
the election. This could be a risky move for Senator Kerry. If Bush doesn't

that could be pretty much a toss up as to which one has the better
personality." -Jay Leno

"John Kerry described his Republican critics as 'the most crooked, lying

lawyer and a politician." -Jay Leno

"The White House begun airing their TV commercials to re-elect the

ads. He said, it is unconscionable to use the tragic memory of a war in
order to get elected, unless of course, it's the Vietnam War." -Jay Leno

"John Kerry has promised to take this country back from the wealthy. Who
better than the guy worth $700 million to take the country back? See, he
knows how the wealthy think. He can spy on them at his country club, at his

working man." -Jay Leno

planning his White House sex scandal." -David Letterman

found someone who is Al Gore without the flash and the sizzle." -Craig
Kilborn

opponent. That explains why Bush's nickname for Kerry is math." -Conan
O'Brien

Hilton." -David Letterman

that flip-flopping on issues." -Jay Leno

come behind one man, one leader, one candidate.' Then he said, 'And until we
find that man, we will endorse John Kerry.'" -Conan O'Brien

"The Democrats are all over this. Democratic strategists feel John Kerry's
war record means he can beat Bush. They say when it comes down to it voters
will always vote for a war hero over someone who tried to get out of the
war. I'll be sure to mention that to Bob Dole when I see him." -Jay Leno

nuts?!'" -Jay Leno

was worth around $300 million and his second wife, his current wife, is
worth around $700 million. So when John Kerry says he's going after the
wealthy in this country, he's not just talking. He's doing it!" -Jay Leno

"In a new issue of Esquire magazine, they revealed that before he was
married to Teresa Heinz, Senator John Kerry dated Morgan Fairchild, Michelle

presidential candidate with good taste in women." -Jay Leno

everything that moves." -Bill Maher

did I ever do to you?'" -Craig Kilborn

as opposed to a few months ago, they believe he's had Botox shots. They
claim a number of his worry lines have vanished. They haven't vanished, just
Howard Dean is wearing them now." -Jay Leno

"John Kerry is finding out that it is no fun to be the front runner, that's
when you get all the heat. He had to deny internet rumors this week that he
had Botox treatments. The Republicans say Kerry should have a clear,
unfurrowed brow the old fashioned way by not giving a sh--." -Bill Maher

"In his big victory speech last night, Senator Kerry said that he wanted to
defeat George Bush and the 'economy of privilege.' Then he hugged his wife,
Teresa, heir to the multi-million dollar Heinz food fortune." -Jay Leno

because he's 'electable.' Hey, so was Al Gore - in fact, he even got elected
and it didn't help him at all." -Jay Leno

donations are moving, endorsements are moving. The only thing not moving is
his hair." -Jay Leno

but this is it." -Jay Leno

presidential race around. Now instead of the rich white guy from Yale who
lives in the White house facing off against the rich white guy from Yale who
lives in Vermont, he may have to face the rich white guy from Yale who lives
in Massachusetts. It's a whole different game." -Jay Leno

"A Newsweek poll said if the election were held today, John Kerry would beat

once having a cold while serving his country in Vietnam." -Conan O'Brien

'comeback kid.' That used to be Bill Clinton's name - because every time he
would come back to a city, he would find out if he had a kid or not." -Jay
Leno

"These campaigns are getting so nasty. They are going through people's old
taxes, coming up with these old quotes. Today, somebody released footage of

from 'The Wizard of Oz.'" -Bill Maher

the endorsement of a guy with a Bloody Mary mustache?" -David Letterman

"In an interview with Rolling Stone, Senator John Kerry, who is running for
president, said that when he voted for the war in Iraq, he didn't expect
President Bush to 'f--- it up as badly as he did.' Here's some breaking
news, tomorrow former Vice President Al Gore expected to endorse Howard Dean
as the Democratic nominee for president of the United States - and you
thought John Kerry was using four letter words before! Actually, to John
Kerry, Dean is a four letter word." -Jay Leno

Kerry used to date actress Morgan Fairchild but it didn't work out.
Apparently she couldn't handle dating someone with bigger hair then she
had." -Jay Leno

"John Kerry is recovering nicely after having prostate surgery. But the
doctors did tell him it would be several months before he could be sexually
active again. All the other Democratic candidates have been very supportive.
Joe Lieberman called to wish him the best. The Rev. Al Sharpton called to
offer prayers. Former President Bill Clinton called Mrs. Kerry and asked if
she was lonely." -Jay Leno
