Is Leno a sexist?
At the end of his monologue, he mentioned
an anti-PMS treatment called bitch-be-gone.

As a male,I say :toast:

As a Progressive, I say SEXIST.

Your ideas?

19. lately he's telling more jokes about Bush
like tonight he said "People are still making a big fuss about President Bush saying a four letter word. I don't see what the big deal is. It would be a bigger deal if he said a four syllable word. That would be unbelievable."

He's also alot funnier than Letterman, although I rarely watch past the monologue. In the past I could not listen to his monologue without running out to nominate him for the top ten conservative idiots, or telling MWO to list him among their media whores. True, he's an entertainer, not a journalist, but he shills for Republicans and attacks Democrats to a large audience. At least he did.

Last night I kept watching to see Tweety, who blew his credibility (again) by scooping that there would be no invasion of Lebanon. He also openly endorsed Guiliani for President, saying he hopes Rudy will be the next President. I am surprised that hasn't been broadcast on GD yet.

23. You know ,you're right. But do you ever watch when he does
the questions to the people in the street, like name the first president of the US and people don't know. Or name the longest river in the US and people answer Lake Erie. BWA

29. I agree.
He has some really insulting "jokes" and his delivery is so casual he clearly doesn't think these are risky jokes.

3. Is it sexist if a woman says more-or-less the same thing?
My sister-in-law riddled me, "why do they call it PMS? Because 'mad cow' was taken."

(Don't flame the messenger!)

15. It's OK for a woman to make fun of PMS
but let a man say the same thing and he'll catch the hell he has coming to him (that's for me to know and you to find out) :evilgrin:

People need to CHILL. OUT.

10. Probably...
But sexist or not, he's still an unfunny tool.

18. I don't think he is
His wife did a lot to try to help women under the Taliban. And from what I've heard, his personal political views tend to be liberal.

But he's still an unfunny hack. If he's making Clinton marriage jokes still, you know he can't write any decent shit.

21. Big Dawg jokes are still pretty darn funny
Lighten up, for Crissakes! If we can't laugh at ourselves
we're as goddammed tight-assed as the Pukes.
