Late-Night Hosts Dust Off Clinton Jokes

[GreenPartyVoter]

NEW YORK (AP) - Bill Clinton's book tour has resurrected fond memories of the good ol' days for late-night TV comics.

So far this month, the former president has been the butt of more jokes on the late-night shows than President Bush and Democratic foe John Kerry combined, according to the Center for Media and Public Affairs.

The count, through Wednesday night: 92 Clinton jokes, 64 Bush jokes and 26 for Kerry. In a family bonus, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was the subject of seven jokes.

"Clinton is the ultimate crossover target," said Matthew Felling, a spokesman for the center. "His material works with both Newsweek and Maxim readers."
