1. And Rush Limbaugh is STILL a big, fat, idiot!
Edited on Thu Sep-24-09 09:42 PM by RoccoR5955
He's such an asshole. And I believe that the people are only cheering him on, because they are being coached to.
Unless they got a bunch of teabaggers for their audience.

Not to mention, Rush got the WORST time on Leno's track!

5. Too bad someone didn't scream "You Lie!"
THAT is the perfect time to do something like that.

36. I'd go with yelling "You Suck!"
Then again, Leno probably had to agree to a "no disrespectful audience sounds" requirement just to get El Gordo Grande.

Which begs the question: Why would he be WORTH that much to Jay as a guest, anyway?

It's not like Rush is still that hot as an audience draw.

(Then again, Jay had him on "Tonight" back in the Nineties, so maybe there's some secret allegiance there-like the way Jay shilled for Schwarzenegger during his Kampaignkrieg for governor.

2. Ugh, I had to change the channel because I was getting too agitated. And what's with that studio
audience? Everything that POS said resulted in the crowd applauding. And Rush said that Clinton was to blame for the economic mess.

Fucking hell.

Can conservative shitbags do anything without needing blood and violence and the death of people?

48. Conservaticks.


They get under your skin, they cause disease, and they survive primarily by sucking away at the life resources of any unfortunate creature that happens by them.


Oh - and they should be removed as soon as possible.

would refuse to be in the same room with an alleged pedophile!

Dave hasn't been afraid to confront him. Leno just seems to have a need to have everyone like him.

18. Leno was just sad
Leno was kissing ass so bad. He was beaming. Obviously a huge fan. He let Rush get away with so much. Never challenged him and let him say things that were not true. Dave would have made Rush squirm a bit.I bet Dave and his staff watch this and think Leno is a wuss.

That goes for all the people he interviews.

He's too much of a coward.

24. Don't sweat it... He's failing in this "new" format, so he'll be off soon...
Thus far, really bad reviews for his first show, and based on the embarrassing interviews he's had with "newsworthy" people, I'd suggest he go to another cable channel and do something on the green movement, something he possibly COULD be successful doing.

But not this shit.

I didn't realize he'd been losing weight.

15. The audience is invited fans of Limbaugh.

When a guest is scheduled notices are sent to their fan clubs and other places the idiots gather. I hate the way they make it seem that everyone just loves his hate speech.

22. jay's monologue
Jay's monologue was filled with Acorn jokes and a few Obama digs.Only thing missing was a Clinton/Lewinsky joke. Part of the challenge was to hit a cut out of Al Gore. Gee Jay, how fair. So, Rush this week criticized Letterman for going soft on Obama. Can we all agree Jay was going easy on Rush?

27. No it wasnt part of the challenge. You werent paying attention.
The point was to avoid Gore and if you hit them you would be penalized with more time added to your score.

25. If Limpballs Mcfatty the Oxy Bandit
had went on Dave, he would have been torn to shreds. Jay, Conan, and the rest of NBC's Must Not See tv can take a jog. Dave is my late night guy, after Jon of course.

many years ago as he guest-hosted for Pat Sajak once Sajak's show was clearly in its death throes...

I couldn't help but laugh at Rush backing up and hitting Gore & that other guy again, even if I love Gore and hate Rush.

It seems like I'm one of the few people here though that loves Leno's show being back, I'm sorry but I just don't find Conan and Letterman very funny, the humor is so rare on their shows.

47. I always felt he's a bit of a hack
Edited on Fri Sep-25-09 12:11 AM by fujiyama
I guess I've never really found him all that genuinely funny and generally found that he just asks lame questions in his interviews and I find his monologue jokes kind of stilted and formulaic. Occasionally he'll have a good crack and the headlines are kind of funny, but that's because others sent them in. The same goes with Jay Walking, which is probably edited, but my guess is not that heavily. Once again, the humor is based on someone else, not really much of anything he actually says...

Now, that said, people here go overboard in calling him a RWer. He's not. He's made that clear on interviews and on Maher's Real Time. He actually sounds like he likes Obama, but as someone else said he looks like he has a need to have people like him so his interviews are not hard hitting, incisive or interesting in any way.

I didn't watch Limbaugh though, because I have no interest in listening to his nonsensical talking points. Limbaugh is a POS who deserves no time or respect. And of course, we do know that he'd never go on Letterman, because Letterman doesn't let idiot RWers come on and just spew talking points...

Edited on Fri Sep-25-09 01:47 AM by LTR
But I'll bet the 'Frank Burns Brigade' that practically treats him like a deity were getting hard-ons.

Me? I thought he was supposed to be on Tuesday, but I won't lose sleep over missing his appearance last night.

Oh, did I mention how lame Leno's new show is? It's just... boring. Craig Ferguson drinks his milkshake.

52. Did he have surgery to lose all that weight?
Edited on Fri Sep-25-09 07:28 AM by peekaloo
some kind of offshoot of liposuction, maybe asshole suction? If so, the doctors missed a major portion.

Morbid curiosity led me to watch. Ooh, Acorn threaten the banks to loan money to poor people and Clinton, Frank and Dodd are responsible for the economic meltdown. Bu$h TRIED to regulate the banks but nnnooooooooo.

The only funny part was when he couldn't get that helmet around his fat head.

p.s. Welcome to DU. :hi:
