LAUGH LINES
On Watch: “A new survey says the gap between the richest Americans and the poorest Americans is becoming even more wide. We are actually becoming two separate societies--one that watches its bank account grow and grow and grow and another one that watches a lot of wrestling.” (Bill Maher)
Cold Spot: “Washington has been blanketed in almost six inches of snow after an unrelenting winter snowstorm. . . . It was so cold, for the first time Ted Kennedy’s nose was red and it had nothing to do with booze.” (Craig Kilborn)
Split Decision: “Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are now engaged. I heard there was an awkward moment after the proposal. After she said ‘yes,’ they invited two of their closest friends over for a celebration toast. Turns out it was Ted Turner and Jane Fonda.” (Andrew Wisot)
