11. I stopped watching Leno when he pissed me off during the Bush years

Feb 2014

I stopped watching him because I thought he was indicating he was not liberal in nature.
I read his comment about having been "unionized"and being happy about it, as a message he sent to us in parting. That was the purpose of my post. But then, I could be so wrong so somehow I choose to doubt it.

Bush was the greatest thing to happen to Leno. joshcryer Feb 2014 #34

Regarding Jay's politics, I remember when Jay was accused of being a right winger. alp227 Feb 2014 #10

Leno is a pro-union fiscal conservative and social liberal. LostOne4Ever Feb 2014 #12

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

Very true (nt) LostOne4Ever Feb 2014 #16

Since he and his wife are deliberately childless, maybe not Santorum.... nt MADem Feb 2014 #28

More like Huntsman. joshcryer Feb 2014 #32

I found Leno's humor hackneyed and formulaic fujiyama Feb 2014 #13

+ 1000. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I share the same sentiments. nt adirondacker Feb 2014 #77

Jay Leno did his job and did it well. TheMathieu Feb 2014 #15

I liked Jay Leno. Vashta Nerada Feb 2014 #17

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

I live in the Northeast. I have no other special reason to remember this story for 21 years, except merrily Feb 2014 #29

Again. No link. (nt) Nye Bevan Feb 2014 #42

LOL. I gave you one link. More than your post merited. Your turn. merrily Feb 2014 #43

A link that never once mentions Jay Leno. Nye Bevan Feb 2014 #45

More crap you made up that is not true. You have a link merrily Feb 2014 #50

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

Something so disgusting would have been mentioned many times subsequently. Nye Bevan Feb 2014 #48

Maybe, maybe not. morningfog Feb 2014 #49

Maybe it was mentioned many times. I have no idea. merrily Feb 2014 #52

Still no link (nt) Nye Bevan Feb 2014 #54

That's okay. You don't have to look anymore. merrily Feb 2014 #55

Yes, still no link from you and it's still your turn. merrily Feb 2014 #56

OK. Here's a link from a July 8, 1993 article that talks about the mass shooting and Jay Leno, Nye Bevan Feb 2014 #58

Not the link that I asked you for, but thanks for verifying merrily Feb 2014 #65

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

Nope. Didn't forget. But you did me such a huge favor, how could I possibly ignore it? merrily Feb 2014 #74

This video clip mocking Leno supports merrily's argument qwertyq Feb 2014 #69

Sure does. Thank you so much. But I hope you didn't hurt Nye merrily Feb 2014 #73

I guess Bevan has nothing to say about this. qwertyq Feb 2014 #76

I'm sure he'll be posting his apology to me and his kudos to you merrily Feb 2014 #79

I believe I saw it posted eleswhere here at DU qwertyq Feb 2014 #82
