LAUGH LINES

Sugar Daddy: “George W. Bush appeared on the ‘Larry King Show’ . . . and predicted he will carry California. It’s possible--if gasoline continues at $2 a gallon out here . . . we may want a president with his own oil wells.” (Argus Hamilton)

Going Au Naturel: “According to a National Enquirer survey, ‘Survivor’ winner Richard Hatch is better recognized than vice presidential nominees Dick Cheney and Joe Lieberman. Only one in five could recognize Cheney or Lieberman, but 84% could recognize a picture of Hatch. To raise their public awareness, Lieberman and Cheney campaigned yesterday in the nude.” (Daily Scoop)

Top Secret: “The big story . . . in the presidential race is there may be a spy in the George W. Bush camp who has been giving Bush’s secrets to Al Gore’s people. . . . What are Bush’s secrets? How he got into Yale? . . . That’s probably about the only one.” (Jay Leno)
