JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 2011

IT LOOKS LIKE PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL TURN 50 YEARS OLD ON THURSDAY—TODAY CONGRESS AGREED TO RAISE HIS AGE CEILING . . .  SO HE WILL BE 50.

MOODY, YOU KNOW THAT INVESTMENT COMPANY, THEY NOW SAY EVEN IF THEY RAISE THE DEBT CEILING THEY MAY STILL DOWNGRADE OUR CREDIT RATING. GIVE YOU AN IDEA HOW BAD OUR CREDIT IS; IF PRESIDENT OBAMA ASKED CHINA FOR ANOTHER LOAN HE HAS TO GET HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW TO CO-SIGN.

FOR MONTHS THE DEMOCRATS SAID THEY WOULD ONLY GO ALONG WITH SPENDING CUTS THAT HURT THE MIDDLE CLASS IF THE WEALTHY WERE ALSO ASKED TO SHARE THE BURDEN.  OF COURSE THE DEMOCRATS WIMPED OUT.  DID YOU HEAR THEIR ANSWER?  “WELL WE ASKED THE WEALTHY, BUT THEY SAID NO.”

AFTER THE VOTE SENATOR CHUCK SCHUMER OF NEW YORK…HE SAID, “IT’S TIME FOR JOBS TO MOVE TO THE FRONT BURNER?   NOTICE THE ONLY TIME THESE GUYS EVER WORRY ABOUT OUR JOBS IS WHEN THEY'RE ABOUT TO LOSE THEIRS JOBS.

HERE’S AN AMAZING FACT:  APPLE CORPORATION HAS MORE CASH ON HAND THAN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. IS THAT REALLY AMAZING?  WESLEY SNIPES HAS MORE CASH ON HAND THAN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.  WE ARE BROKE!

IN NEW JERSEY, A DUNKIN DONUTS EMPLOYEE WAS ARRESTED FOR WORKING AS A PROSTITUTE DURING HER BREAKS AT DUNKIN DONUTS.  WORKING AS A PROSTITUTE AT A DONUT SHOP -- NO CHANCE OF RUNNING INTO ANY COPS THERE.

A NEW REPORT HAS FOUND THAT ADULTS IN WASHINGTON D.C. ARE AMONG THE TOP USERS OF COCAINE IN THE COUNTRY.  HENCE THE NAME "DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA"

THAT’S WHAT THE STUDY SAID.  THE STUDY FOUND THAT WASHINGTON D.C. RESIDENTS WERE THE TOP ABUSERS OF ALCOHOL, COCAINE, AND MARIJUANA.  ALL THIS TIME WE THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS GOVERNMENT WASTE.  NO, NO.  THE GOVERNMENT IS WASTED.  THAT’S THE WHOLE PROBLEM.

POLICE IN SOUTH CAROLINA FOUND A KILO OF COCAINE HIDDEN INSIDE A MAN'S PROSTHETIC LEG. POLICE GOT SUSPICIOUS WHEN THEY CLOCKED THE GUY JOGGING AT 110 MPH.

IN FACT, CHARLIE SHEEN TODAY THAT HE WOULD GIVE THAT GUY HIS RIGHT ARM FOR THAT LEG.

SHERRI SHEPHERD OF “THE VIEW” HAS TURNED DOWN A SHOT ON “DANCING WITH THE STARS.”  THE REASON?  SHE HAS A REAL JOB AND SHE’S AN ACTUAL STAR.

THIS PAST WEEKEND THE TOP VIDEO GAME PLAYERS IN AMERICA COMPETED IN A TOURNAMENT RIGHT HERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO FIND THAT BEST GAMER IN AMERICA.  THE FIRST PRIZE THE WINNER GETS TO KEEP HIS VIRGINITY.

THE LATEST RUMOR, SPENCER PRATT AND HIS ANNOYING WIFE HEIDI MONTAG…YOU KNOW THE ONE THAT HAD ALL THE SURGERY…THEY ARE NOW SO BROKE THEY'RE LIVING AT HIS PARENTS' HOUSE IN SANTA BARBARA.  FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS COMES OUT OF THIS RECESSION!

MTV TURNED 30 YEARS OLD THIS WEEK.  MTV IS 30! OR, AS THEY CALL THAT ON "TEEN MOM," A GREAT-GRANDMOTHER!
