Bill Maher, "Real Time with Bill Maher": "Thirty-eight million people watched Barack Obama at the stadium in Denver. There were 84,000 full-throated supporters who turned out there at the field. The Republicans fired back today. They say, 'We can also fill a stadium with thousands of screaming people. For example, the Superdome during Hurricane Katrina.'"
Comedy writer Alan Ray: "President Bush won't attend the Republican convention. Rather, he'll stay at the White House to monitor the impending disaster - the last four months of his White House."
Comedy writer Janice Hough: "John McCain chose Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate. Among her other talents, Palin is an avid hunter. Let's see, a vice president who likes to shoot guns. What could possibly go wrong?"
Stephen Colbert, "The Colbert Report": "A lot of people are saying Sarah Palin is being used as a cheap political ploy. That is such petty cynicism. This is historic. For the first time in America a woman has reached the highest levels of being used as a cheap political ploy."
Jay Leno, "The Tonight Show": "Palin and McCain are a good pair. She's pro-life and he's clinging to life."
