Comedy writer Patrick Gorse: "Hillary Clinton says she's been warning of the current U.S. economic downturn for a year, characterizing herself as a female Paul Revere shouting, 'The recession is coming, the recession is coming!' John McCain criticized Hillary saying, 'Senator, I served with Paul Revere. I knew Paul Revere; Paul Revere was a friend of mine. Senator Clinton, you're no Paul Revere.'"
Bill Maher, on the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King: "All the politicians were trying to make a tribute. Many of them were in Memphis. Hillary Clinton made a speech. John McCain made a speech. He was at the motel in Memphis. Eliot Spitzer was also there. Not to honor Dr. King, just because it was a motel."
Comedy writer Jim Barach: "The Department of Homeland Security has waived environmental and land management laws to complete a 670-mile long border fence. They also waived labor laws in hiring illegal workers to build it."
Amy Poehler, "Saturday Night Live": "Hillary Clinton's campaign released her joint tax returns showing $109 million in income over the past seven years. ... Most of that comes from Bill Clinton's speaking engagements, book royalties and stud fees."
Conan O'Brien, "Late Night with Conan O'Brien": "Barack Obama is narrowing the gap in Pennsylvania, and his campaign is pulling out all the stops. His campaign office is now giving away tickets to Dave Matthews concerts. Apparently this is Obama's attempt to win over really white voters."
