Los Angeles Times ^ | February 26, 2009

[Army Air Corps]

They want him to Kneel before Zod.

[tbpiper]

accused of having violated union rules

Unions can take their rules, dues, socialist mindset and go straight to hell.

[hoppity]

His monologue was actually kinda funny during that time, too.

[ari-freedom]

looks like Leno is a liberal who was mugged by reality.

[Drango]

Komrad....you will only work if WE say so.

[shove_it]

Jay would have been better off hiring some scab FReeper joke writers. His were pretty lame.

[brytlea]

Comedians are not allowed to write their own jokes? Who knew...

[anniegetyourgun]

Libs interrogating libs....

[Billthedrill]

Possible penalties include a reprimand, a fine and even expulsion from the union.

Best of luck with all that. Call when you find work.

[smith288]

If I was him, I’d walk in quietly, unbuckle my pants, turn around and present the red eye. Pull them up, turn around and give a smile then proceed to walk out.

[dead]

Very McCarthyesque!

Have you no shame, Writers Guild? Have you no shame?

[wbill]

Eh, this’ll give him monologue fodder for a few weeks.

[FFranco]

When we establish our Conservative Confederate States of America, we Must make sure all labor unions are Banned.

[GeronL]

imagine being dragged into a secret court of ACORN or the Young Democrats Union.

Atlas Shrugged is happening

[MahatmaGandu]

Leno needs to make a crack about these asshats on the air.

[Buggman]

Kneel before Zod! Lay down on your backs before Zod! Now, using your lower abdominals, raise your legs and hold on a five-count before Zod!

[doodad]

But, if he is a union member why is his own writing not in line with the “guidelines?”

[a fool in paradise]

“Are you now, or have you ever been, a Comedian?

>“Are you now, or have you ever been, a Comedian?

Yes.
