LAUGH LINES

Something to Talk About: “NBC has been pitched the idea of a TV talk show hosted by soon-to-be-former-President Bill Clinton. . . . Chances are it won’t be titled ‘To Tell the Truth.’ ” (Jerry Perisho)

Not by the Book: “Did you know [Laura Bush is] a librarian by profession? I don’t know where she and George Bush first met, but I think we can pretty much rule out the library. . . . In fact, they said . . . that Bush could have the first presidential library where it’s all books on tape.” (Jay Leno)
