JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 2012

THIS IS A MAJOR VICTORY FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA, WHO SPENT THREE YEARS PROMOTING IT—AND A MAJOR SETBACK FOR MITT ROMNEY, WHO SPENT THREE YEARS CREATING IT.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING; IF YOU’RE AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN ARIZONA WHO HOPES TO BECOME A CITIZEN SO YOU CAN GET FREE HEALTH CARE…THIS IS THE GREATEST WEEK OF YOUR LIFE!

YOU KNOW WHAT’S INTERESTING, CNN WAS THE FIRST ONE TO REPORT THE DECISION, BUT THEY GOT IT WRONG.  THEY SAID THE HEALTHCARE MANDATE WAS STRUCK DOWN.   LUCKILY IT WAS ON CNN SO NOBODY SAW IT.

BECAUSE OF THAT FAST AND FURIOUS FIASCO, EARLIER TODAY THE HOUSE VOTED TO HOLD ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER IN CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS.  IN PROTEST, THE DEMOCRATS WALKED OUT OF THE HOUSE.  IF WE COULD JUST GET THE REPUBLICANS TO WALK OUT TOO, THINK HOW GREAT THAT WOULD BE.

WHILE TALKING ABOUT THE ECONOMY THIS WEEK, VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN SAID, "IT'S A DEPRESSION FOR MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF AMERICANS."  HE ACTUALLY USED THE WORD "DEPRESSION” TO DESCRIBE THE ECONOMY.  SEE, I DON'T THINK HE KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE.  THE ECONOMY IS NOW IN A RECESSION.  A DEPRESSION IS WHAT HAPPENS TO PRESIDENT OBAMA EVERY TIME JOE BIDEN SPEAKS IN PUBLIC.  HE GOES INTO A DEPRESSION.  TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

TODAY AT THE WHITE HOUSE PRESIDENT OBAMA AND VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN MET FOR LUNCH.  THE WHITE HOUSE CHEF ALWAYS GOES OUT OF HIS WAY TO PERSONALIZE THEIR MEALS.  FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE BIDEN'S MEAL ALWAYS COMES WITH A TOY.

CHARLIE SHEEN IS ONCE AGAIN BEING ACCUSED OF TRASHING HIS RITZ CARLTON HOTEL ROOM WHILE ON A FAMILY TRIP TO NEW YORK CITY.  HE HAD THE FAMILY WITH HIM AND ALLEGEDLY HE WAS PARTYING WITH DRUGS AND HOOKERS.  ON A FAMILY TRIP!  CHARLIE SHEEN IS PROBABLY THE ONLY GUY IN THE WORLD WHERE OTHER GUYS WANT TO SEE PHOTO'S OF THEIR FAMILY VACATION.
