I kid you not: The Bush nose job story, entirely manufactured at Brian Flemming's Weblog, made the "Late Show with David Letterman" monologue last night.
David Effing Letterman: Here now is my favorite story of the week: a rumor that President George Bush had a nose job, that he had some kind of plastic surgery, he actually had a nose job. And I was thinking, well, if this is true it would be the first new job he's created since taking office.
You can hear the monologue as a Real audio file if you click "Dave's Monologue" today at the "Late Show with David Letterman" home page. The nose job joke is the closer, so it's all the way at the end of that audio clip.

This reminds me of LBJ's line about calling his political opponent a pigfucker, and he didn't want him to admit it, he wanted him to deny it.
