With this week’s economic news, you have to laugh to keep from crying:
“Experts say we’re going through what’s known as a lock, stock and barrel financial phase. You know what that is, and how that works? People are locked out of their homes, their stocks are worthless, and the oil companies have us over a barrel. That’s how it works.” — Jay Leno
“I don’t think President Bush gets it. He doesn’t really understand these economic issues. Like today, he was asked if customers should be concerned by all these bank closings. And Bush said, ‘If the bank is closed, you just use the ATM.’” — Leno
“I’m not sure if Sarah Palin knows what to do about the economy either. Do you think she has any experience? She was asked today what to do in a bear market. And she said, ‘Well, you should shoot it, then skin it.’” — Leno
“Vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin today said she thinks the economy needs some shaking up and some fixin’. I’m pretty sure that is also her recipe for oven-baked chicken.” — Jimmy Kimmel
“Both presidential candidates reacted to the market turmoil today. Barack Obama laid out a detailed five-part plan, but John McCain’s plan is much simpler. He’s just going to have his wife fix it.” — Craig Ferguson
