Tonight Show and Letterman monologues - partly about Dean

[kerry-is-my-prez]

Letterman wasn't as bad as I thought he would be. He made fun of him but wasn't as nasty as I expected. I just saw the tail end of Leno and they showed a a man who was supposed to be Dean - wrapped up in a strait jacket being "carted away."

1. Letterman goes for a laugh, Leno's a whore.

Way it's been for a number of years now.

4. I agree..

Letterman is genuinely funny. He has a better sense of what is funny, and when to quit when it stops being funny.

Leno is not a comedian any more, not after he whored for the governator. We stopped watching him altogether after that.

And what is this Dennis Miller nonsense, with all the advertising to boot? Could they give a liberal comedian a show, with all that hype? Miller is a worse sleaze than Leno.

2. I'm watching too....Letterman just played "the clip" ...again

it is funny...but highly overexaggerated.

6. the more I see the clip, the more I like it

Today it made me smile, in a good way.

The guy seems very human, like he's having fun, not letting the defeat bother him. I find it very appealing

3. Letterman's GREAT as always! Leno does as his GE masters command!

:puke: Leno

5. Top Ten is pretty good :-).

7. when a candidate becomes a national punchline . . .

8. Um...

Clinton's problems with Gennifer Flowers and the rumblings of Paula Jones AND the "state trooper misuse" ALL made Clinton the punchlines of jokes during the '92 election. Shhhhhhhhhh.

Later.

9. And Clinton took his wife on prime time national television

and turned the whole thing into an asset, a human moment, and then went to New Hampshire and campaigned like a man with a passion to lead this country. What's Dean going to do? Invite Randy Savage to appear on "This Week In Pro Wrestling" with him to deny the charges that Savage coached him on his "yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah?" The two situations aren't exactly the same. It's one thing to be considered a repentant philanderer (which some people actually like), another entirely to be considered irrational, a loose cannon. :shrug:

10. Clinton was also a master politician . . .

possibly the best this country has ever seen . . .
