It looks like
Jay Leno is on his way out at NBC. Which is a shame, since it seems he is becoming one of the few media figures with enough
cojones to make fun of obama. A few recent examples:
“Did you hear about this? A 28-year-old woman from Serbia has a rare brain condition where she sees everything upside down. The good news? She’s now been given a job at the White House as President Obama’s economic adviser."
"Barack Obama's daughters are very smart. They told him they will take the same responsibility for the dog that he is taking for the economy. That way, if the dog leaves a mess in the White House, it'll be cleaned up by future generations."
"President Obama has announced a task force to review the tax codes. He's concerned there are too many loopholes and too many people manipulating the system to avoid paying taxes. And that's just in his administration."
And my favorite:

Although I must admit I kinda resented Jay when he took over from my favorite late night host Johnny Carson, I've begun to warm to him over the past few years.
Yup, he appears to be one of the very few show hosts/Hollywood types who isn't in the Tank for Obama and his Liberal gangsters.
I believe the head Liberals at NBC told him to "lay-off" the anti-Obama stuff and Leno; to his credit he pushed back knowing the consequences of his actions.
I heard he might sign up with Fox.
Great going Jay. You might not be as far right as many on Fox, but at least you're not going to be pushed around by a bunch of Socialist bullies.
Good ones, and yeah he's history...
Toejam, as I recall it was a contest between Leno and Letterman to replace Carson. At the time, not knowing what I know now, I was rooting for Letterman. So I also was biased against Leno from the start, but over the years he's grown on me (and Letterman has turned out to be a real horse's ass).
I'm going to miss Jay.
NFO - yeah, sadly, Like I said, I'll miss him...
