JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2012

MITT ROMNEY HAS A NEW CAMPAIGN SLOGAN: “WHAT HAPPENED?”

BIG NIGHT LAST NIGHT FOR RICK SANTORUM, WINNING THREE PRIMARIES: COLORADO, MISSOURI, AND MINNESOTA.  I HAVEN'T SEEN RICK SANTORUM THIS HAPPY SINCE THEY CANCELED "WILL AND GRACE."

RICK SANTORUM SAYS THAT HE IS WHAT THE REPUBLICANS REALLY WANT.  AND MITT ROMNEY SAYS NOW THAT HE KNOWS WHAT THE REPUBLICANS WANT, HE CAN CHANGE TO THOSE POSITIONS.  THAT’S NOT A PROBLEM.

MITT ROMNEY WAS AT A LOSS TO EXPLAIN WHY HE DROPPED THE BALL – IN FACT, HIS WIFE IS NOW BLAMING IT ON NEW ENGLAND PATRIOT RECEIVERS.  “YOU CAN’T VOTE AND RUN AT THE SAME TIME…”

IN HIS SPEECH YESTERDAY, RICK SANTORUM DECLARED THAT GLOBAL WARMING WAS A "HOAX."  HE SAID IF YOU LOOK AT THE SCIENCE YOU'LL SEE THAT OUR CLIMATE HAS BEEN THE SAME EVER SINCE DINOSAURS ROAMED THE EARTH, OVER 150 YEARS AGO.

DONALD TRUMP ANNOUNCED THAT HE IS BUILDING A NEW HOTEL FOUR BLOCKS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.  AND WITH ANY LUCK, THAT WILL BE ABOUT AS CLOSE TO THE WHITE HOUSE THAT DONALD TRUMP WILL EVER GET.

THE BIG NEWS HERE IN CALIFORNIA IS THAT A FEDERAL APPEALS COURT HAS OVERTURNED PROPOSITION 8, SAYING THAT THE BAN ON GAY MARRIAGE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.  WHICH IS GOOD NEWS.  THE BAD NEWS: NOW I HAVE TWICE AS MANY WEDDINGS TO GO TO.
