Cheers and Jeers: Rum and Coke FRIDAY!
From the GREAT STATE OF MAINE…
Late Night Snark: Post-Debate Edition
"Turned out it was the highest-rated debate for the Democrats ever. More than 15 million people tuned in to watch Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and the three high school principals they invited to fill out the stage."And a reminder of where we were two years ago:
---Jimmy Kimmel
Bernie Sanders debate clip: The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails!
Larry Wilmore: Note to self---never lose my Frisbee in that man's back yard.
---The Nightly ShowHillary Clinton debate clip: I went to Wall Street in December 2007 before the big crash that we had, and I basically said 'cut it out!'
Stephen Colbert: Yeah! Back in 2007 before the big crash she said, 'Cut it out! I've had just enough of you collapsing the economy, Mister, stop it right now or you're going to bed without any cocaine!'
---The Late Show"Despite claiming last week that he would have rushed the Oregon shooter to save lives, Dr. Ben Carson yesterday recounted how he was once held up at gunpoint in a Popeye’s Chicken and told the gunman, 'I believe you want the guy behind the counter.' So we know at least one guy who’s definitely not voting for Ben Carson."
---Seth Meyers"Donald Trump recently said, 'I'm going all the way and I'm going to win.' And Mike Huckabee said, 'I'm going some of the way then I'll go home.'"
---Conan O'Brien
"People are actually getting very pissed off at this government shutdown. But Republicans say, 'Remember one thing. We are standing up for an important principle…and as soon as we figure out what it is, you will be the first to know.'"Still waiting.
---Bill Maher
