2. Yeah I noticed that too . . .
Sample jokes

"Bush is taking a 35 day vacation . . . presumably to 'unwind.' The question is, when does he ever 'wind'?"

"How many of you get a 35 day vacation?" (Groans and applause)

3. He can bash Bush now and then, but Conan is the best right now
He makes the other two clowns pale in comparison.

"Is this something?" Come on, Dave, you can do better than that.

Leno, just sux, period.

4. I'm pretty certain
comedians play to their studio audiences. And very few of them write their own jokes. But if you'd like to think that Letterman is funny and a Democrat, more power to ya.

5. The monologues sure
But when Dave gets into it with guests he comes through. And I have to say I think its a safe bet he leans to the left ....and I'm not talking how he dresses.
