Conan O’Brien, “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” on the recent Democratic presidential debate: “All the candidates said if they were elected, they would get rid of the military’s ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy for gay soldiers. [It] would be replaced by a new policy: ‘Don’t tell me you’re wearing those boots with that gun.’”
Michael Feldman, public radio’s “Whad’Ya Know?”: “The Secret Service has been erasing logs of visitors to Vice President Cheney’s residence. Surprisingly, he’s had some. Mostly Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Orkin man – although that may have been Tom DeLay.”
