    But Leno should know ACORN is an organization that , you know, helps people and does good things like put homeless people in houses they can’t afford and elect Democrats. That should be more important than any evil or corruption in their fine organization. Leno must be a racist.

    It is nie to see some little cracks here and there from Leno to the Daily Show but it’s still too little, perhaps too late.

    SNL had their Thursday night “Weekend Edition” and had this involved Democrats would have been able to do a great sketch about ACORN. But then I remembered two things. Just like Pelosi they had to beat the Joe Wilson non-story to death AND the writiers on SNL haven’t had talent since the mid-90s.

    Transcript:

    JAY LENO: Oh and of course there’s that big scandal with APORN, I mean, ACORN. I’m sorry.

    Do you know what they say? Have you heard about this? ACORN, they’re an organization that gets government money to help poor people. Well, now they’re in a lot of trouble. It seems these two filmmakers went to ACORN’s office posing as a pimp and a prostitute, saying they wanted to buy a house and run it as a brothel, and ACORN workers gave them advice on how to get away with prostitution and how to avoid paying taxes.

    See, here’s my question: If they want to get away with prostitution and not paying taxes, go to Congress. These are the professionals. These are the people that know…. I mean, I had a hunch that this was coming. Did you see that commercial? Take a look.

    (ACORN “commercial” starts)

    POLITICIAN: When I ran for office in Nevada, I found myself 50,000 votes behind in the polls. ACORN helped me get the “extra” votes I needed. Thank you, ACORN.

    PROSTITUTE: I’m a professional. In my line of work, it doesn’t come easy. Sometimes it takes like… 45 minutes? So, like my customers, I want to get the most bang for my buck. ACORN showed me how to save the most at tax time. Thank you, ACORN. I owe you one. Call me.

    DRUG DEALER: As a narcotics entrepreneur, I bring in a lot of money, mostly cash. I thought I owed $200,000 in taxes. ACORN said I owed nothing. Thank you, ACORN.

    (Cell phone rings.)

    Oh, I gotta take this call. It’s Amy Winehouse.

    ANNOUNCER: ACORN. We’ll help you get away with stuff.

    Next question is what will Acorn be called next week? They’ll close their doors in one location and put up a shingle under a new name as quick as the paint can dry.

    And the new organization will be at the infamous “Elysian Fields” address.

    I saw about ten seconds to Leno the other night. Michael Moore was on (naturally, Leno was kissing his enormous back-side), and the only thing I heard (before I changed the channel) was Moore saying “…capitalism is legalized greed…”

    Now, think about that for a second. Since when has greed EVER been illegal? Of course, as a communist scum like Moore thinks, greed is the worst of all evils, and what HE does is expose the evils in the world (people doing what they are able to do in order to make a buck), all the while HE pulls in millions of dollars in the process–making HIMSELF the ultimate capitalist.

    I’m sure that it never occurred to Leno for a second that he point out the hypocrisy of Moore, but at least he found the time to get a few laughs out of ACORN’s expense. It won’t last, there won’t be ANY impact by his doing so, but at LEAST he found the time to get a few laughs out of ACORN’s expense.

    Did Rush Limbaugh REALLY refer to ‘lil Jimmy Carter as a hemorrhoid?

    In case you weren’t around back in the day, AzN, Carter’s hemorrhoid problem was actually a news item in the late 70s.

    I remember when, after a local news guy read the story, the TV news anchor said “I don’t think we really needed to know that”.

    Anyhoo, that’s the subtext of the pun.

    Yeah, Scrapper, I’d really beat ACORN over the head with their own PC club for it’s race-based preference; they dumped the minorities and kept the white woman. Could make to create some must-see Dem infighting, to boot.

    “Go Alinsky” and finish ACORN off by making it apply it’s own race-hustling rules, I say!

    yohannbiimu and happyscapper: while the part where Jay Leno was interviewing Michael Moore was pretty liberal-minded and a lovefest, the segment they showed from Moore’s movie was interesting: it showed Moore on Wall Street going to the banks that got handouts from the government asking for the money to be returned.

    Not that this makes Moore better than pond scum, but I thought it was worth a mention.

    As for Jay talking about ACORN: I also liked when he called them APORN and ACON.

    I noticed that also.

    I was extending body english while watching that clip as if to coax the rest of the story out of Jay Leno, but it didn’t work.

    I am happy to see that, along with you, I am not alone in noticing that Jay LEno left out the story of ACORN corruptocrats willingness to help promote child prostitution.

    Michael Moore was interviewed by Jay Leno. Moore condemned Capitalism and “greed.”

    I did not like that Jay Leno sat there and allowed him to get away with condemning “Rich” people while Michael Moore is actually very rich himself.

    Hey, Michael Moore. Next time you make a movie, give the profits to me. You don’t need them because that makes you an evil Capitalist Rich guy.

    Also you are a WHITE Capitalist, Greedy Rich guy, which is the worst of the worst!

    Michael Moore, a Greedy, Selfish, Mean Rich Capitalist White guy, getting rich off the BS he is shoveling, while pretending to be a fat, sloppy poor middle class working stiff who needs a bath, a shave, and some new, neater clothing and to get out and get some exercise.
