Leno Rips "Snoop Obama"

Leno is a Republican hit man. Glad the Breitbart crowd enjoyed the show.

That's why I watch Letterman, if anything. He's a Democratic hit man and much funnier. The same people who laugh at Leno think Rush is funny.

No doubt Leno is a Republican, but the man is sometimes funny. I was watching one night back in the 1990's, shortly after Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders had been fired. She was fired for suggesting we teach our children about masturbation. A lot of folks in the Bible Belt just couldn't handle that idea. They went ballistic. And Clinton was pretty much forced to fire her.

So Jay was saying Jocelyn Elders had to find a new line of work. He had her starting a new business, hawking a product all packaged up in pink. It was called "My First Vibrator". Idea was to sell it to 12 and 13-year old girls, I suppose.
 
Time to target Leno for "Asymmetric Warfare", mind-reading, suggestion implantation, gangstalking...and, what the heck...let's give him a fire-belly.
 
Time to target Leno for "Asymmetric Warfare"

How so? I assigned precisely the same "hit man" label to his professional and political counterpart. The only distinction I made between them was that Letterman is funnier and doesn't rely on winger buzz words for Limbaugh laughs.

I'm just having a little fun with the "asymmetric" theme bandied about here the past week or so. There's some good paranoia/black helicopter stuff going around.

In truth, I do think the inflicting of "fire-bellies" is something of a lost art. It requires resurrecting...perhaps "typewriters" as well.

I don't catch Leno or Letterman. Way past my bedtime (yes, it's lame - I know).
 
Well, I doubt Leno is a Republican, but I've almost never really watched the Leno show (four or five times in the past 15 years), so I can't say.

I used to like Letterman, but back in the '80s and early '90s he had a routine where he would call up people, almost inevitably older ladies in small towns, and ask them about the activities in the town -- Kiwainis picnics and garden club socials, etc., while his "sophisticated" New York audience tittered. It pissed me off. Not every jumped-up weatherman from Indiana gets to live in New York City -- for some people that church social or pancake breakfast is their big event. Effectively, he was mocking their LIVES. So I quit watching him. Now I go to bed early, get up early, and "miss out" on both shows. I don't feel particularly deprived. I guess its a sign I'm getting old, but Johnny Carson always left me feeling a little smarter for having watched his show. I don't get that from any of the current crop of late night hosts.

Well, and Jay Leno did his 'Jay-walks', where he would ask people VERY simple questions, like who was President before Bill Clinton, and he would get answers like "I think it was FDR"....from a person who claimed to be a history teacher!

That's making fun of stupid people. I've been told here on Political Jack that that's not nice, either.

Some good paranoia/black helicopter stuff, eh? Yes. Political Jack, quite frankly, seems to be a MAGNET for that kind of conspiracy theory stuff. It's amusing, to a point, but it's also a bit frightening....to a rational individual.

I'm like you. Leno and Letterman are both WAY past my bedtime. I'm usually in bed by 8 PM, and am usually up by 3 AM.

I don't see that as the same thing. Being ill-informed is sort of its own reward. What Letterman had people laughing at was not that the people he was talking to were individually ignorant, but that their lives amounted to nothing compared to life in New York or LA. There are a lot of good people not living in big cities, and their lives don't deserve to be ridiculed.

Slick urbanites have always made fun of rural rubes. The Beverly Hillbillies was founded on the entire theme, and it was for many years the most popular sitcom on TV. Green Acres wasn't far behind, either. I suppose you think both of those popular TV shows were simply outrageous.

Except that these people weren't "rural rubes." They were merely rural. As it happens, I enjoyed "Beverly Hillbillies" and "Green Acres," "and the Andy Griffith Show" -- all of which regularly showed that the rural residents were generally smarter and better adjusted in a lot of areas than the "sophisticates" with whom they were interacting.

One of my favorite episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies had Jethro sitting at the kitchen table with masses of paper spread out before him, on which he was doing some reckonin'. He was trying to figure out how the Clampetts could ration their supply of craw-dads until they could get back to Arkansas to replenish their supply. Jethro was explaining to the bank secretary what he was doing: "This heah is what they calls ALGIBRA!!" And Jed interjects: "Whoo-ee! That boy is a regular ol' Einstein!"

Yeah. That wasn't making fun of rural rubes and yahoos. Of course not.

I venture to say Jethro wasn't doing that, because the Clampett's were from Missouri, not Arkansas (they were from "just a hoot and a holler from Sibley," and Sibley, Mo., is not far from my home town. Other town references in the show are all Missouri-based.

Having said that -- which character has more brains, Jed, or his neighbor the banker, Mr. Drysdale? Jethro would be stupid no matter his origins.

Gee, I'd forgotten that they were supposed to be from Missouri. So sue me. Most people tend to associate hillbillies more with Arkansas than Missouri. Jed was portrayed as being 'salt of the Earth'......endowed with plenty of common sense, but virtually no KNOWLEDGE. In one episode, he mistook a camel for an ugly horse.

Ouch.

True enough. But it is one thing to make fun of a fictional character, and another to make fun of real people. I lost a lot of respect for Letterman over those telephone calls -- who was he to mock people's lives? A couple of bad coin tosses and he's in Gary predicting a 30 percent chance of snow.

If you get upset about late night talk show hosts making fun of real people, I think you are overly sensitive, and that should be called an understatement. Maybe modern society is just too complex for you, and you should avoid TV, period?

Since Barack Hussein expanded Bush's secret spying on Americans, despite campaigning in '08 that it was criminal and he would put an end to the spying, now we're going to have to listen to democrat communist operatives preach how wonderful/historic Obama's spying is...and if you oppose it your a racist.

Hell, didn't you realize by now that both Leno and
Rush are paid entertainers? Pour yourself another cup of coffee
and wake up. Without the protection benefits of the first amendment they wouldn't be anything. And they should be more guarded what they say lest they anger some 2nd Amendment worshipper. Soon Leno will be gone and except for his entertainment talents he'll rarely be remembered BUT Obama will because he pulled-off the upset of the century when he was elected to be president, a contract that was renewed without a lot of fanfare simply by polling the electorate to see who they preferred as the shot caller for an entire nation.

Gramps

I don't object to every instance -- there was something about those phone calls that flicked me on the raw.
