He Can Identify: “President Bush was on Bob Costas’ HBO talk show, talking about baseball. Finally, a subject he knows something about. . . . Bush is a huge baseball fan. [After all, it’s ] a sport where millionaires work two hours a day. That’s the story of his life right there.” (Jay Leno)
What’s in a Title: “It was reported that Al Gore’s students in his Columbia University journalism class have been told specifically to address him as Mr. Vice President, Professor Gore or Mr. Gore. . . . [Gore] told the students he will no longer respond to ‘Hey, loser.’ ” (Conan O’Brien)
