Thursday night saw a lot of comedians take aim at the headlines, and nobody was left out. Jimmy Kimmel had a few quips about the Occupy Oakland protests which resulted in property damage and prompted police to use tear gas on demonstrators, saying, “A spokesman for the Oakland police called it the worst rioting in the city since every single Raiders home-game.” Also, late-night hosts couldn’t help mentioning the Herman Cain sexual harassment scandal which broke this week, poking fun at the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO. “At one time he had quite a way with women and he would get girls at these restaurant conventions to go back to his hotel by offering them free breadsticks,” joked David Letterman. “I don’t know why Herman Cain is so defensive,” said Kimmel. “I think we might need a horny president. Remember what it was like when Clinton was in charge? We had jobs. The economy was booming.” Meanwhile, some were joking about Obama advising European leaders on their debt crisis at the G20 Summit this week. “Wait, Europe’s getting economic advice from Obama?” said Jimmy Fallon. “That’s like J-Lo getting marriage advice from Kim Kardashian!”
