President Barack Obama is a nightmare for political comedians. He's too cool, too smart, too ... good at this whole leadership thing.
That was the bill of goods comedians sold us five years ago, an excuse which prevented them from mocking Obama as they did every previous Commander in Chief.
Jay Leno wasn't buying that pile of horse manure.
Leno has consistently tweaked Obama in his Tonight Show monologues since the early days of the president's administration, the same way Leno handled President George W. Bush and President Bill Clinton.
This week, Leno turned up the heat to scorching levels while some of his peers resorted to full spin mode regarding Obama's cascade of scandals. Tuesday night, Leno mocked Obama's commencement address at Morehouse College as well as the president's claim that he learned about the latest scandals hitting his administration from watching news reports.
And a Chicago man has set a new Guinness Book world record for the longest ferris wheel ride. He went 48 hours, 48 hours straight riding the ferris wheel in Chicago’s Navy pier. In fact, the only way to go around and around in circles that many times is to read the official report on Benghazi. That's about the only way to go around and around.

The best I heard was something like "Fox News has changed it's slogan from "Fair and Balanced" to "We Told You So".

This goes a long way toward explaining why Leno's being dumped by NBC, despite having the highest ratings. Those who don't toe that corporate line pay the price.
Thanks for posting this, will watch Leno tonight.

Hope he has saved his receipts!

Last night he said, "They removed don't ask, don't tell from the military......and moved it to the white house."

good for leno to a least attempt a little balance. I do think he is left leaning like most of holly weird.

Leno is just throwing out sour grapes because he's being shitcanned.
Not to say he believes any of the stuff he's reading, but he's reading it. He didn't write it.
