Okay.

It was really Bobcat Goldthwaite's monologue right after the 11 o'clock news and two reporters from LA Times just happened to be interview the head of the bar and then Leno, of all the comedians in LA. and Leno just happened to continue being an defensive tone deaf ass about lawyer jokes and his first amendment right to keep telling them, even if lawyers and their staff and clients were getting killed that week.

Wow, Sherlock. You finally wrung it out of me.

And now, the inevitable lie:

without thinking to mention that Leno had cracked such a disgusting lawyer joke on the very day of the massacre!

You know that I covered that in my prior reply and did not say anything of the kind.

If you think all the alignments between my posts and that story you linked about were pure coincidence, I can't help you and I don't know who can. We're done for this thread buddy.

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

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
