Last night Bill Maher let the GOP feel his wrath - and the Dems too - as he sat with Jay Leno and expounded on all things election.

Comedian and political commentator Bill Maher has a lot to say about the Republican National Convention and its representatives, including what he thinks of Chris Christie and Paul Ryan (fat and fraud).

Maher also talks about if the Vice President is important in an election and what the Democrat “D” and the Republican “R” stand for.

Later, stand-up comedian Adam Hunter makes his “Tonight Show” debut. Tristan Prettyman performs. 
 
JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 2012
 
ANN ROMNEY GAVE A GREAT SPEECH; VERY HEARTFELT AND VERY PERSONAL.  SHE SAID SHE FIRST MET MITT AT A DANCE, 43 YEARS AGO AND HE MADE HER LAUGH.  I'M GUESSING HE MADE HER LAUGH WHEN HE TRIED TO DANCE.  DOING THAT WHITE GUY THINGS…
 
HURRICANE ISAAC TURNED OUT TO BE NOT MUCH OF A THREAT TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION, BUT TO THEIR CREDIT, THE REPUBLICANS HAD A CONTINGENCY PLAN.  THIS IS PRETTY GOOD.  IF THE HURRICANE DID HIT HARD DELEGATES WERE INSTRUCTED TO EVACUATE TO MITT ROMNEY'S TAX SHELTER.  THEY WOULD GO DOWN THERE AND STAY TILL IT BLEW OVER.
 
THE BIG GOSSIP NOW IS THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE THE MYSTERY SPEAKER TOMORROW NIGHT.   APPARENTLY THE REPUBLICANS HAVE SOME BIG MYSTERY SPEAKER LINED UP.  SOMEONE THEY SAY WILL EMBARRASS PRESIDENT OBAMA.  OH MY GOD, THEY GOT JOE BIDEN!
 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN – 76 YEARS OLD TODAY.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIM.  THERE WAS ONE KIND OF AWKWARD MOMENT DURING THE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION, WHEN THE GIRL POPPED OUT OF THE CAKE AND MCCAIN TRIED TO NOMINATE HER FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
 
WHILE SPEAKING TO COLLEGE STUDENTS YESTERDAY, PRESIDENT OBAMA SAID, "I SAID WE'D END THE WAR IN IRAQ AND WE DID.  I SAID WE'D GET BIN LADEN AND WE DID.  I SAID WE'D FIX THE ECONOMY…OK, 2 OUT OF 3 IS NOT BAD."  THAT’S PRETTY GOOD.
 
ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES; MORE THAN HALF OF PRESIDENT OBAMA'S TWITTER FOLLOWERS ARE FAKE. THEY DON'T EVEN EXIST.  WHICH IS ACTUALLY A GOOD THING BECAUSE IF THEY DID EXIST, THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY JOBS FOR THEM.  PARTISAN CROWD…
 
CONGRATULATIONS TO SNOOKI!  AS YOU KNOW, THIS WEEK SHE HAD A SIX POUND, FIVE OUNCE BABY BOY.  GOD, THESE KIDS GROW UP SO FAST.  LAST NIGHT THE KID WAS HITTING THE BARS WITH HONEY BOO BOO.  DID YOU SEE THAT?
 
YOU KNOW MY ONE WISH FOR SNOOKI?  LETS PRAY THAT THE KID IS NOT HOME SCHOOLED.
