UNDATED (AP) -- The late night comics are finding laughs in the Wall Street plunge. Conan O'Brien says yesterday's stock dive was triggered by the down-grading of the U.S. credit rating from triple-A to double-A. But O'Brien says on the bright side, Pat Sajak has "offered to sell us another `A' for two trillion dollars." Jay Leno says the bad news keeps coming. Leno says first the nation's credit rating was lowered, then "England, Italy and Greece de-friended us on Facebook." Leno adds the economy is getting so bad, "Angelina Jolie is now adopting kids from America."
