‘One Week Away’

conan o'brien

Monologue | Aired Tuesday night on NBC: People, I think, are excited because Barack Obama’s inauguration is one week away. Some people are worried, though, because 3 million people are expected for the inauguration, but there will only be 5,000 port-a-potties. That’s true. Officials say they would have paid a lot more attention to bladder issues if John McCain had been elected.

Hillary Clinton’s confirmation hearing for secretary of state began today. And it’s interesting because when you think about it, by the end of the week, Hillary will be a confirmed secretary of state, and Bill Clinton will be a confirmed bachelor. She’s going to leave town, you see.

Today was President Bush’s last Cabinet meeting. At one point, Bush got emotional and said, “I never got to find out what HUD means.”

    It’s a good thing money doesn’t grow on trees as it already goes in a breeze!

    As we see what’s happening, it looks like income tax rebates will offer abetter returns than stocks do?

    President Bush can go out of office as a real hero — pardon all taxpayers!
