Jay Leno recyles jokes for Obama

[tuttle88]

Politico has a comparison of "jokes" Leno told on his show and "jokes" from the White House Correspondent's dinner.

— From “The Tonight Show” (March 16): "If you took all the money the Republicans have spent trying to stop health care, and all the money Democrats have spent trying to get health care, we could afford health care, you know that?”

— From Saturday’s routine: “If you took all the money Republicans spent trying to stop health care, and all the money Democrats have spent trying to get health care, you know somethin’? We could have had health care!”

Gawker is of the opinion that its not a big deal, comedians use old jokes all the time. But I think if you are performing for the President of the United States maybe, just maybe you can come up with a new set. Especially if your other material has been on tv before.


I know, I know Leno is not funny and unoriginal, shock horror.

The joke is humorous to me and seems relevant to a set for the President. Why shouldn't he use it?

You know, there are African children starving, and you're wasting time on this shit.

In my day it was children starving in India so I had to eat my dinner. I told my mother to send it to them because I didn't want it. I was sent to my room, but I didn't have to finish dinner.

No, I thought so too, but it turns out that most of the people running the war will not acknowledge that they are doing it for me or any other Pete..

I tend to believe them, if they really wanted to impress me, they would have caught Bin Laden.

Also, I think you're a racist and into bestiality. For pete's sake.

Kidding.

What part of you shall not take my name in vain do you not understand?

Back me up on this petes.
