JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS TUESDAY, JULY 5, 2011

I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A NICE FOURTH OF JULY.  BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMY A LOT OF CITIES CUT BACK ON THE FIREWORK DISPLAY.  LIKE HERE IN BURBANK NOT GOOD; IT WAS JUST DIET COKE AND MENTOS.

SARAH PALIN SPOKE OUT ABOUT INDEPENDENCE DAY.  SHE SAID, CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THE BRITISH HAD WON THE WAR, WE’D ALL BE SPEAKING ENGLISH TODAY.”  SO THAT’S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

I DON’T GET THIS; IN A STUNNING DECISION CASEY ANTHONY FOUND NOT GUILTY.  YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?  THIS MEANS PRESIDENT OBAMA’S ECONOMIC TEAM IS NOW ONLY THE SECOND MOST CLUELESS PEOPLE IN AMERICA.  THAT’S WHAT IT MEANS.

I DON’T GET IT; MOST PEOPLE THOUGHT SHE WAS GUILTY, EVEN THE PROSECUTION THOUGHT IT WAS A SLAM DUNK.  YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK HAPPENED HERE?  APPARENTLY WHAT HAPPENED WAS, THE OJ JURY RETIRED AND MOVED TO FLORIDA.  THIS IS THEIR FIRST TIME BACK.

WHEN THEY READ THE VERDICT, “NOT GUILTY” EVEN CASEY ANTHONY  WENT, “PSSS…WHAT, I'M NOT?  WHAT? 

YOU KNOW CASEY ANTHONY IS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT IS GOING TO GO FREE.  LAWYERS FOR DOMINIQUE STRAUSS KAHN…YOU KNOW THAT GUY.  THEY  NOW SAY THAT THE MAID IN THE RITZY HOTEL, ALSO WORKED AS A HOOKER.  SO HE COULD WALK TOO.  A MAID WHO IS ALSO A HOOKER.  THAT’S LIKE ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER’S DREAM DATE.  “YOU HAVE THE SEX IN THE BED AND THEN SHE MAKES IT…FANTASTIC.”

ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES, A CELL PHONE FOUND IN OSAMA BIN LADEN'S COMPOUND HAD PHONE NUMBERS BELONGING TO PAKISTAN'S INTELLIGENCE AGENCY.   IT'S HARD TO DENY YOU SUPPORT TERRORISM WHEN THE WORLD'S NUMBER ONE TERRORIST HAS YOU ON HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS PLAN.  IT’S NOT GOOD.

LISTEN TO THIS; IN HIS FINAL WRITINGS, BIN LADEN SAID HE WANTED TO CHANGE AL QAEDA'S NAME FOR MARKETING REASONS:  LIKE HAD OSAMA BIN LADEN LIVED THE GROUP WOULD NOW BE CALLED "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT TERROR!"

AFTER DROPPING HIS SPONSORSHIP DEAL IN 2007 FOLLOWING HIS DOGFIGHTING CONVICTION, NIKE HAS RE-SIGNED MICHAEL VICK AS A SPOKESMAN. THEIR NEW SLOGAN: "NIKE – JUST DO IT, AND WE'LL PRETEND LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED."
