JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2013

HAPPY PRESIDENTS’ DAY EVERYBODY!  NOW DON’T CONFUSE THAT WITH VICE PRESIDENTS’ DAY, ALSO KNOWN AS APRIL FOOLS DAY.

LETS SEE WHAT IS GOING ON; YESTERDAY PRESIDENT OBAMA PLAYED GOLF IN FLORIDA WITH TIGER WOODS.  WELL YOU THOUGHT MICHELLE GOT MAD WHEN BARACK ATE A CHEESEBURGER.  SHE TOLD HIM, “NO HANGING OUT WITH TIGER AFTERWARDS, YOU COME RIGHT HOME…”

ACTUALLY, YOU THINK ABOUT IT, TIGER AND THE PRESIDENT BOTH HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON:  BOTH GOT IN TROUBLE BECAUSE OF THEIR STIMULUS PACKAGE.  REMEMBER?

I LOVE THIS STORY; FORMER SAN DIEGO MAYOR MAUREEN O’CONNER TOLD FEDERAL PROSECUTORS SHE WENT BROKE AFTER BETTING MORE THAN A BILLION…NOT A MILLION…MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS SHE INHERITED FROM HER LATE HUSBAND.  SHE GAMBLED AWAY A BILLION DOLLARS AT CASINOS PLAYING VIDEO POKER.  SHE SHOULD BE APPLAUDED, FINALLY A DEMOCRAT GAMBLING WITH THEIR OWN MONEY.  COME ON!

I LOVE THIS; NANCY PELOSI SAID SHE OPPOSES A PAY CUT FOR CONGRESS BECAUSE IT WOULD DIMINISH THE DIGNITY OF THE JOB.  THERE’RE CONGRESSMEN!  JUST KEEPING THEM OUT OF JAIL IS A FULL TIME JOB.

THE POPE SAID THAT WHEN HE RETIRES HE WILL BE "HIDDEN FROM THE WORLD."  SO IT SOUNDS LIKE HE'S GETTING A PRIMETIME SHOW ON NBC.
