Zingers From Dave

Letterman was on fire in his monologue tonight. Here's a paraphrase of some of his jokes:

To John McCain: "Don't show up for me, America won't show for you!"
On Obama's victory margin: "By the end of the evening, the electoral score was 349 to 163, or as FOX News says it, 'too close to call.'"
On Plumber Joe: "Right about now Joe the Plumber is meeting with his transition team. They are preparing to guide him back from obscurity into oblivion."
On the moosehunting maverick: "How about that Sarah Palin? [scattered reluctant applause] I hear she's going back to Alaska. How'd you like to be a moose right about now?"

Update (November 6, 12:32AM): Here's a hilarious segment from the show on John McCain's farewell message, and Sarah Palin's announcement of her post-election plans:
