Jay Leno keeps rippin on Kucinich...
but at least he's making fun of Bush. I guess he can be forgiven.

1. Leno is a whore...
He won't say anything substantial even in jest about Bush.

2. I won't forgive him
and not because he makes fun of DK. Leno is consistently hateful, except for when he is fawning obsequiously. NBC should dig up Jack Paar and give the show back to him.

5. now, now Letterman was on him a lot too, as well as Conan
unfortunately it is probably some of his greatest exposure to a mass audience


I really think comedians should get a political pass, since they should really be making fun of everyone. Too bad Bill Hicks is dead, though, he would have given them all a run for their money.

6. You mean Carson hasn't come back and kicked his sorry
rump outa that chair yet? Don't waste your time with Lamo. He is a right wing jerk that sold out everything Johnny ever did. Its almost like he is trying to rub Johnny's face in it sometimes.

I lost my last shred of hope for Lamo when he backstabbed Johnny by inviting Uri Geller on. In the 70s Johnny got together with James Randi(Johnny is actually a former magician too) and they set Uri Geller up. Geller's claim to fame was bending spoons. He claimed he did it with the power of his mind and was swindling people around the country. Carson had Geller on the show and brought a set of spoons and other props out that they had made sure Geller would have no previous contact with. Geller refused to perform as he did not have time to prep any of the spoons. He begged off claiming he was tired. But the con had been tipped. He lost face at that moment and quickly left the US.

Lamo invited Geller back on the show soon after taking the reigns and gushed all over him. He practically licked his shoes. Not an ounce of skeptical thought was introduced and no mention of the previous visit. It sickened me and I have not watched Lamo since.

7. Agreed Leno sucks.
He's STILL making Bill Clinton jokes. JEEBUS CREEPIN SHIT, LAME-O, the guy's been out of office for THREE YEARS. Get a new act already!

His sucking up to Ahnuld was the final straw. When do they replace his sorry ass with a REAL host?

8. it's his job to fawn over celebrities
that's why they come on his show. and take heart that he's still joking about Kucinich, it means someone is still paying attention to him.
