Letterman mocks Schwarzenegger
‘Meet the Governor’ segments show embarrassing clips

ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK, Oct. 21 — In contrast to the “Tonight” show — Arnold Schwarzenegger’s unofficial late-night venue — David Letterman is airing material that would make most politicians consider a career change. Over the past week, Letterman’s “Meet the Governor” segment has rolled old footage of the incoming California governor grasping a woman’s buttocks, smoking marijuana and grinning goofily dressed in an Indian outfit.

In one, he is seen conversing with a woman over a table of food. At Schwarzenegger’s urging, she seductively licks a carrot stick.

THERE’S NO POLITICAL motivation; Letterman just wants to be funny, said Rob Burnett, executive producer of Letterman’s “Late Show.”

“For us, it’s an easy decision — what is on the mind of the country and can it be made funny?” he said. “Arnold as governor of California satisfies both objectives. As a bonus, it’s pretty easy to make funny.”

A Schwarzenegger spokesman did not return repeated phone calls for comment.

[Cha]

6. I love Dave

Its time someone in NY gave bush & arnie hell.

[Clete]

7. Maybe the law can't get him or won't, but

if the comics go after him, people will start waking up.

[IndianaGreen]

9. Most people watch Leno

Myself included. Letterman is a has been!

[Clete]

10. I used to, but have found Letterman a lot better lately.

Leno really stopped being funny a long time ago IMHO. Actually, I'd rather watch Jon Stewart than either of them.

[ex_jew]

12. I know there's no discussing taste, but

how can you stand Leno's contempt for everyone else in the world (possibly excepting Arnold) ? Is there more to his schtick than that ?
Are you still enjoying Clinton jokes ? Please share the basis for your appreciation....

[Cha]

13. leno is obviously shilling for the bushits...arnie

included.. plus he's Not Funny! Clete is right about Jon Stewert, IMO!

And a Big Plus in Dave's favor is he doesn't suck up to the repukes in fact he pretty much does the opposite!

[MotorCityMan]

16. Saw a Leno promo a few weeks ago...

His "joke" was what is the difference between Arnold's and Clinton's women? So-called punchline; About 100 pounds.

I couldn't believe it. My partner and I just looked at each other in shock.

Leno used to be funny about 20 years ago. Just another whore now.

[AP]

15. Are you the same I.G. who posted smart things all the time at DU last yr?

You watch Leno?

[haymaker]

17. i wonder too. IG isn't the only longtime poster

who seems lately to be out of their cotton-pickin' mind.

[SideshowScott]

18. Green how dare you dis a fellow Hoosier?:)

Where is your Indiana pride huh? I think Letterman is 1000 times funnier than Leno....I for one cant stand the giving airtime to miller, Arnie enableing leno..Heck the last time I watched leno he was stealing one of lettermans gags by flinging stuff and watching it smash..

[The_Gopher]

19. and most people supported the war initially, so what's your point?

that this group of "most people" are uninformed?

[Blue_Roses]

20. I hate Leno

only Letterman for me. Leno is a repub suck-up.

14. Just getting ready to start a thread about this.

Here's what caught my eye.
"Leno made 18 jokes at Schwarzenegger's expense between Aug. 6 and Oct. 6.

During the same time period, Letterman made 40 jokes about Schwarzenegger, the Washington-based think tank said.

Leno made a total of 69 jokes about Schwarzenegger's political opponents, including Gray Davis, Cruz Bustamante and Arianna Huffington, while Letterman made only three."

I was a Letterman fan from the time of his Morning show then when he went to CBS I quit watching because I couldn't pick up the local CBS station where I was living at the time. I worked nights and got home right at 11:30 so I would flip the tv on while fixing dinner and would watch Leno. I very rarely laughed at any of his jokes and finally got cable a couple years ago and have only switched back to Leno a handful of times since. Even taking politics out of the equation I don't like Leno's jokes, delivery or interviewing style.
