21. You got that right.
Leno is a republican shill. Likes his tax break too much to care about the country. Of course, he will follow the $$$$$$$$ over everything else.

3. Whores are bi-partisan
they'll "do it" for anyone.. That's all Jay is.. The real problem is this.. they (some comedians) think they are being "fair" by telling jokers about "all the candidates/politicians", but what they DO is to give credence to the bogus stuff they refer to..

During WWII would they have said things like.. "Oh, that wacky Hitler guy...?

They "blur" the lines, and in the process, bring every issue down to a joke..

Editorial cartoonists know how to make political humor.. It's funny but true at the same time..

5. His wife worked with the Feminist Majority Foundation for years.
In fact, she helped spearhead the efforts to alert the country what the hell was happening in Afghanistan with the Taliban takeover and their oppression of women as early as 96.

Leno is also pro-union.

6. he hammers the repugs and dems pretty equally in his monologues
I think he's somebody that leans to the right, outside of his show, but he's not some vile neocon.

to peep his head out from under Ah-nold's sac long enough to make a statement?

8. IF he's a dem he's a self-defeating one.
He used Clinton jokes damned near constantly, and Gore, but I don't hear him ribbing Bush nearly as often or as hard.

9. No, just another whiny Hollywood rich twit

He went all postal on some woman at a California State Assemblywoman's office because he might have to get emission controls on his fleet of 4,398 vintage hot rods and cars (or however fucking many it is).

EDIT

"For Jay Leno, cars are no laughing matter. The ``Tonight Show'' host -- an avid auto collector who owns 180 rare cars and motorcycles -- has lined up against environmentalists, public health groups and a Silicon Valley lawmaker over a measure zooming through the California Legislature that would force thousands of older cars into the state's smog check program.

The bill, AB 2683 by Assemblywoman Sally Lieber, D-San Jose, passed the Senate this week.

EDIT

But car collectors are fighting the measure vociferously. They argue the state should seek out poorly maintained, heavily polluting cars, not just old vehicles, and that car hobbyists can be penalized at smog check stations for making modifications to their engines, even if their vehicles meet tailpipe standards. ``Most classic collector cars do not pollute the air,'' said Bob Stearns, president of the Association of California Car Clubs. ``These cars are only driven on weekends and to shows.''

Leno joined the fray when he called Lieber's office twice earlier this year to urge that she drop the bill. ``He was initially angry,'' Lieber said. ``He is an ardent collector of cars. But he has no vehicles that would be impacted'' because no cars now exempt from smog checks would be forced to get smog checks, she said."

19. Forget Jay. Watch Jon.
He's smarter. Better looking. And has wonderful people on his show. Plus, as fair and diplomatic as he is, he can't completely suppress his outrage at the bizarro madness of the Bushies.

24. Anybody could write for that show, just remember old school yard
type sex jokes and insert the name Clinton and the baboon Jay will tell it, get his people to put the sign on and appear to be funny.

He sucks.
