For a couple years I tuned out of Dave's show...they were getting stale, but since 9/11 and his heart surgery, something is brewing inside Dave.
Lately the show is getting more and more open in it's contempt of the manchild. There's the "George Bush Joke That Isn't A Joke" virtually every night and one evening he ran several. He also takes several good shots in his monologue and the Top 10 list has always his stalking horse to blow shit at the world...as well as his excellent writers.
Also Dave always books liberal guests like Franken or Robin Williams or Wanda Sykes and lets them go crazy. When Franken was on, Dave lofted him softballs to bash O'Reilly.
Leno tried to play both sides of the fence (calling himself "Independent"...yeah that's now blown to hell). I also gave him the benefit of the doubt thanks to the great works of his wife anad his support for her causes. He has done a few shots at Bush, but his Clinton and Gore bashing has never stopped. I'll scan for Headlines, but I can't respect Leno anymore...friend or no friend. He has to know what message this is sending across the country to the many who are offended the oaf got his jump start on his show and now Leno playing MC at the Bongo & Cigars party.
Leno lost a longtime fan once and for all last night.
