Late night comedy round-up

From ABC News' Sunday Funnies round-up of late-night comedy:

TONIGHT SHOW

Jay Leno: In her first press conference after her trip overseas, Hillary Clinton said she thinks we may need to send more men to Afghanistan. The men she wants to send [are] John Edwards and Barack Obama — both those two.

DAILY SHOW

Jon Stewart: Yesterday, around 9 a.m. East Coast time, you may have heard a noise — a choir of angels. It can only mean one thing: Barack Obama did something.

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. [on tape]: I wanted to tell you first that I'll be filing papers today to create a presidential exploratory committee.

Stewart: And did you hear who he made his announcement to?

Obama [on tape]: I have great faith and hope about the future because I believe in you.

Stewart: Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God! I'm inspiring Barack Obama. First, I was Time's man of the year, and now this! I'm awesome!

Satire: Obama Posing Threat to Rock Stars

Andy Borowitz offers a humorous take on Obama mania.

Potential 2008 presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) is posing a serious threat to the nation's rock stars as millions of Americans abandon their favorite recording idols to worship the junior senator from Illinois instead, a representative of the nation's rock stars said today.
 
Carol Foyler, director of the National Association of American Rock Stars, said that Sen. Obama is "consistently outdrawing" rock acts such as Aerosmith and Metallica, putting the future of America's rock stars in jeopardy.
 
"If there are empty seats at our shows, they can be explained in two words: Barack Obama," Ms. Foyler said. "Sen. Obama is the greatest single threat to rock ‘n' roll since Napster."
 
Just last week, the Illinois senator drew a standing-room-only crowd at New York's Shea Stadium as part of his sold-out "Obamapalooza" tour.
 
"My name is Barack Obama," he told the 80,000-plus crowd, who screamed with delight and held Bic lighters in the air, begging for an encore.
 
"I used to follow R.E.M., but now I'm into Barack," said Tracey Klujian, 34, one of the thousands of new Obama fans in attendance. "This dude is audacious."
