Now if you’re saying Leno was harsher towards Cruz than other Republicans who have been on his show...I'm saying that I was in the studio audience when Jay interviewed Sarah Palin (once) and Ann Coulter (twice),
Jay may be a LEFTY, but he's also an ENTERTAINER......and he knows that a big chunk of his audience in Middle America is conservative.
After some obligatory jabs at Sarah and Ann, Jay was warm and friendly with BOTH of them,So, I'm just trying to figure out what happened THIS TIME.
NOT the partisan hack who kept interrupting Senator Cruz with attempted "gotcha" questions.
My preliminary analysis is that the Left FEARS Ted CruzIt appeared to me that this time around, SOMEONE (probably ValJar, the Night Stalker)
more than they feared Sarah Palin after she lost, and
more than they fear Ann Coulter, who isn't running for anything.
At least that's the "spin" that I am considering for my "after action" thread. ;)
I stopped finding him entertaining years ago and always knew he was a huge lefty.
He only seems tamer when put side by side with Letterman, who is nuts.
You are damn right in your analysis.
Palin despite what some believe, never appeared to seriously considering running for President, and in any case had ALREADY been severely damaged by the media. Half the country thinks she’s Tina Fey’s impersonation of her.
Cruz is the “face” of Congressional Conservatives right now, a POTUS contender, and a non-Anglo Saxon Republican. It’s their #1 priority to ridicule, marginalize, and destroy him.
Dennis, being more familiar with the media stage, knowing what he was going to get, absolutely destroyed Leno's idiot leftist constructs when he tried to put them by him. He ridiculed Leno in the finest manner. It was hilarious to watch Leno's face drop in defeat.
Cruz did well, but will have to understand the attacks that will come in a clear way. I have faith he will learn well, he actually carried himself fine, bringing Leno to a draw, but he has to understand that people like Leno are inviting him on to destroy him and plan how to deliver his message in the face of that kind of evil.
I’m saying that I was in the studio audience when Jay interviewed Sarah Palin (once) and Ann Coulter (twice),
and I did not recognize the Jay Leno that I saw reading Obama talking points at Ted Cruz last Friday.
I never ever saw Leno quite that rough on anyone ever. It was clear he was instructed not to let up or show any humanity. He was reading from a sheet or card and just kept returning to it like a guy with a knife hanging over his head.
I don’t think it was by his NBC bosses; I don’t think he gives a poop about them. I think it might have been from wife and friends, social pressure.
Leno is a "short-timer" now, and he is letting his true colors show.
