JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2011

TODAY IS WEDNESDAY.  OR AS HERMAN CAIN CALLS IT – HUMP DAY.

ANOTHER WOMAN HAS COME FORWARD; HER NAME IS GINGER WHITE…THAT DOESN’T SOUND LIKE A STRIPPER.  THIS IS WOMAN NUMBER FIVE, NUMBER SIX?  SHE CLAIMS SHE HAD A 13-YEAR AFFAIR WITH HERMAN CAIN.  THAT’S GOT TO BE TOUGH FINDING OUT YOU'RE THE OTHER, OTHER, OTHER, OTHER, WOMAN.

LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING; WOMEN, 13 YEARS, IS THAT STILL AN AFFAIR?  AREN’T YOU HAVING ANNIVERSARIES AT THIS POINT?  MOST MARRIAGES DON’T LAST THAT LONG.

AS YOU KNOW, CONRAD MURRAY WAS SENTENCED TO FOUR YEARS IN JAIL.  THEY SAID HE COULD GET OUT EARLY DUE TO PRISON OVERCROWDING. YOU KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD DO?  MAKE HIM THE PRISON DOCTOR.  THIS WAY YOU KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE.  HE SERVES HIS FULL TERM AND ELIMINATES PRISON OVERCROWDING.

YOU WHO I FEEL SORRY FOR IN THIS WHOLE THING?   JON HUNTSMAN.  YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO HE IS.  HE’S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, HE’S A SUCCESSFUL GOVERNOR, AMBASSADOR TO CHINA, FATHER OF 7 CHILDREN AND HE'S AT 1% IN THE POLLS.  ONE PERCENT!  IN FACT, HUNTSMAN IS SO DESPERATE FOR ATTENTION TODAY HE CLAIMED HE HAD AN AFFAIR WITH HERMAN CAIN WHILE SMOKING CRACK.

LEGENDARY MASSACHUSETTS CONGRESSMAN BARNEY FRANK IS RETIRING AFTER HAVING SERVED 16 TERMS. USUALLY WHEN A CONGRESSMAN LEAVES AFTER SERVING 32 YEARS IT'S BECAUSE HE GOT PAROLED.  THIS IS UNUSUAL.
