smart, and willing to serve the country.

Therein lies the difference, to serve vs to be served

I agree that the accent wasn’t necessary, I would defend Leno as being the most centrist of all the Hollywood types we regularly see. He sends zings both left and right. He also has done a lot over the last 10-15 years for the troops and their families.

Leno will just say whatever is funny. That show isn’t partial (even if NBC is), and they just want ratings and to make people laugh. Of course, he’s what I call in hollywood terms a “writer’s b****” meaning that whatever gets shoved in front of him, he takes whole.

He’s just a lot better at playing it off, and if he notices something stupid, he has communicative speaking skills to let the audience know he doesn’t agree with really, really stupid jokes, and he has the presence of mind to open the show with “it’s been a slow news day.”

While Letterman may be funnier, I can’t stand him because of his liberal rants and non-stop BDS.

Well, Leno has better ratings I think, maybe for that, but also because Letterman isn’t willing to go as far with jokes, and maybe that’s because Jay and Eubanks play them off a lot better than Schaeffer/Letterman. Seriously, Paul’s droopy eyes behind those sun-glasses and Letterman laughing everytime his card gets tossed into the fake window and a sound effect of breaking glass happens?

Some people are amused by the stupidest things. If you ever listen to Alan Colmes radio show, every so often there’s someone who call in asking him to do sound effects.

It’s a riot.

This is why I am optimistic – cautious, but optimistic. Perhaps not ’08, but longer.

Picture/remember George Bush (41 or 43) in these venues? Did you wince every time Trent Lott was in front of the camera? How about Dennis Hastert?…

Are you even in Louisiana?

Nice character assassination. Can’t even address the issues, just character assassination.

A Leftist? Really? That’s why he’s critical of overspending and overtaxation? How about his views on limited government? The mishandling of the Road Home Program?

You can’t argue against anything I said, you only attack the source. Get a clue Orlando.

Also the “Anchor Baby Loophole” is easy to close. If you are a LEGAL immigrant, and you have a child, the child is granted US Citizenship automatically, no matter where the child is raised. Yes, some people DO actually return to their home countries.

If you’re an ILLEGAL immigrant, and you have a child born here, the child retains the citizenship of the parents (though legally, some countries will have a problem with this). A change like this would mean that parents who RESPECT our laws and enter legally would be be rewarded. It would also remove the impetus for Hispanics to run across the border to a relative’s house in order to give birth.

Under this framing of the law, Bobby Jindal would still be eligible for the Presidency as his parents were here legally on student visas (and married, no less).

That was an easy one. How about I work on “world peace” now?

I think I understand MM’s original point. If that were Obama, and Leno did a Dad impression using maybe an inner city chicago type of accent, people would be losing their freakin minds.

Good point. Or if he could effect a “Kenyan” accent, whatever that is. Or if he referenced Leno’s dad and tried an Italian accent, or even, copying some of the cadence and lines from “The Sopranos”, to bring home the point Leno’s dad was an ethnic Italian. In any of those cases there’d be a shiver felt through the crowd. Yeah, retort with an impression of Dad Leno as a real goombah. Ha! Don’t think Jay would appreciate that!

Jay Leno is a Liberal?

Please fill me in. He always struck me as a republican.

By Leno’s own admission, which he made when he had Ann Coulter on his show, he is a “social liberal/fiscal conservative” What I like about Leno is that he makes fun of everyone, nearly equal jokes about the right and the left. And he wears a flag on his lapel, so we at least know that he stands somewhere to the right of Obama…
