If you're going to go personal (not business), you better be funny.

cuz otherwise, you're an asshole.

Leno can't be funny..for a comic, that's a problem.

For a man to mock another man's failings becuase you feel picked on, that's a problem.

I got no problems thinking less of Leno for this shit. He's both lacking in talent (the main reason you'd watch) and lacking in decorum (the 2nd reason people prefer his safe comedy).

Dave ain't going to act like a pussy and complain...he's going to take the gloves off an eviscerate this clown.

That's BS. *Some* business is personal when you're a celeb. Late night comedians skewer celeb personal life *every day*. - musubi Jan 21, 09:26 5

      - So are jokes about Tiger's infidelity an attack on Elin? John Edwards jokes an attack on Elizabeth? Of course not. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 09:50 1
        
        so much depends on how things are phrased. (that said, I'm not changing your mind; and I give up.) -- nm - b. Jan 21, 09:52
