Leno Gives NBC a Pass
On the night of Jan. 7, NBC’s Jay Leno interviewed Republican candidate for president Ron Paul on the Tonight Show. During the course of the interview, Mr. Leno noted that Mr. Paul had recently been “screwed over” by FOX News execs, who had decided not to invite Mr. Paul to participate in the Republican Forum the night before.
“I'm trying to figure out why FOX News chose not to put you on,” said Mr. Leno. “I mean, I might not necessarily agree with you, but I think, as an American, we like to see everybody get an equal shot."
But, as it turns out, Mr. Leno’s ardent belief in political inclusiveness is not all that, um, inclusive.
To wit: Last week, when presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich was publicly battling with NBC executives over their decision to exclude Mr. Kucinich from the Jan. 15 debates, Mr. Leno was a touch more forgiving of his bosses at NBC.
“NBC did not invite Dennis to tonight’s Democratic debate in Nevada,” said Mr. Leno. "Although, to be fair – they did invite his hot wife.”
Cue the laugh track.
Typical of the namby-pamby hypocrite Leno. Considering he brought coffee and donuts to striking writers then stabs them in the back. The Paul-Kucinich dichotomy described above is to be expected. Why doesn't he sell a few of his motorcycles and/or cars and help save Darfur. At least Conan O'Brien grew a strike beard. The sooner Leno retires and passes O'Brien the torch the better. Leno is a throwback to the decadent Vegas entertainment milieu. I should think he's made enough to retire in good grace like the late great Jack Paar who knew when it was time to go without being pushed.
This dude is a little rude. I met him at the wealthy club wealthychats.com and was offended by him. Seems he is looking for pretty girls new hook ups there.
