The Twilight Of Jay Leno
The Daily Beast ^ | July 24, 2013l | Lloyd Grove

Posted on 07/24/2013 2:04:21 PM PDT by Biggirl

“HERE’S A fascinating story,” the longtime host of NBC’s Tonight Show With Jay Leno told his audience last week, mentioning a recent Iowa Supreme Court ruling “that a dentist could legally fire his female assistant because he found her too sexy, too attractive, and a threat to his marriage. She didn’t do anything. She’s just good-looking.” The payoff: “Hey, I’ll bet that’s what happened to me here at NBC!”

I don’t agree with his politics all of the time, but he is a good guy away from the camera.

It’s crazy to me a struggling business unit would voluntarily get rid of it’s most profitable asset.

There was a documentary on steam power and he had a couple of his cars and an antique steam engine on the show. I got that he loves to show off his toys.

It makes perfect sense.
He broke the unspoken rule of the State Media and MSM propaganda apparatus.

He criticized Obama.

A lot of people do not know this about Jay. He was really kind to a young girl from my hometown, who died as a teenager, who had Cystic fibrosis. He did this away from the cameras. He stayed in touch with her whenever he traveled and remembered her on her birthday and went to her funeral.

My third apostrophe post of the day:
its most valuable asset, not it’s most valuable asset.
It’s is the contraction for it is.

I doubt that is it. He has criticized every president, regardless of party.

I don’t know why it’s a big deal to re-post something. Unless you live on this board, you don’t get to see everything that’s posted, so I believe it’s OK to repost.
