Saturday Satire

   Well hell, it has been an interesting week with the things that have been going on over in Egypt, and with Glenn Beck being his usual “ asshole “ self.  

Conan O'Brien :

"While in Egypt, CNN’s Anderson Cooper was attacked and beaten, which raises 2 questions. Is it safe to send our media into these places? And how do we get Glenn Beck over there?"

"Egypt has responded to hundreds of thousands of protesters by shutting down the internet. Listen, if you want people to stay home and do nothing, turn the internet back on."

Jay Leno:

"The big rumor: Sarah Palin said she may run for president. I understand there's an opening in Egypt."

"President Mubarak came out of the presidential palace today and saw his shadow; six more weeks of rock throwing."

"Secretary of state Hillary Clinton said regarding the crises in Egypt that the Obama administration is not advocating or working toward any specific outcome. Same policy they had during the economic crises. Just kind of go along and see what happens."

Jimmy Kimmel:

"Apparently something is going on over in Egypt. Anderson Cooper and his crew got attacked by pro-government forces. He got hit in the head about 10 times, and I think he got kicked in the Mini Cooper too."

"I've been watching a lot of the news footage, and it turns out they don't walk like Egyptians after all. They walk regular like us.
