his idea of conservative could mean santorum but not Bush JI7 Feb 2014 #14

On air, Leno equated being a conservative with being a patriot, as if no one else is a patriot. merrily Feb 2014 #18

Jay Leno has never joked about things like mass murder. Nye Bevan Feb 2014 #20

Bullshit. I watched that night and I am not misrembering. merrily Feb 2014 #22

Of course he didn't say that. There would have been an enormous outcry. Nye Bevan Feb 2014 #23

Bullshit. He did. I heard it and you're speculating that a quick joke would have merrily Feb 2014 #25

I knew you wouldn't be able to find a link (nt) Nye Bevan Feb 2014 #41

STILL no link (nt) Nye Bevan Feb 2014 #53

You forgot. It was your turn to provide a link for merrily Feb 2014 #51

If the poster is right, the joke they heard would have been in 1993. morningfog Feb 2014 #46

OK. So you're the only person on the internet to remember Leno cracking this horrible joke, Nye Bevan Feb 2014 #66

More dishonesty and, oh, look an emoticon, too. merrily Feb 2014 #67

Oh and BTW, your claim about Letterman's monologue "the night Carson died" was also false. Nye Bevan Feb 2014 #68

Thanks again for proving me right, buddy. merrily Feb 2014 #71

Have you already forgotten that you said "we're done for this thread, buddy"? Nye Bevan Feb 2014 #72
