| | Letterman: Obama hiring all 'our Clinton faves' aside from 'that heavyset intern'
Poking fun at multiple reports indicating President-elect Barack Obama may be tapping a number of former Clinton Administration officials for his cabinet and other key posts, CBS funnyman David Letterman on his "Late Show" Thursday night noted that there was probably at least one that will be left behind.
After namechecking new chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and transition team member Madeline Albright, Letterman said, "So now it looks like what Barack Obama is doing...he's just bringing back all of our favorites from the Clinton Administration, y'know, except for that heavyset intern."
Before talking about Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Letterman joked, "I think the last time I found myself - excuse the expression - aroused...by a vice presidential candidate...Al Gore maybe?" before claiming she was set for a future appearance on ABC's randy Desperate Housewives, while Senator John McCain was hoping for a spot on Bonanza, which has been off the air for over 35 years.
Thursday's Page Six in the New York Post carried a claim that Housewives producer Marc Cherry was "very hot to trot to have her appear on the season-five finale," but an ABC representative told the gossip column, "There's no truth to it."
"Meanwhile, John McCain is at an Applebees blowing on his soup," Letterman mocked.
