"People always say to me, they say, `Hey, Letterman,' they say. `Why don't you make jokes about Obama?' And I say, `All right, I'll tell you why. I don't make jokes about him because I don't want the FBI tapping my phone,"' he said.

Leno tapped into the same idea with a different story: "I was going to start off tonight with an Obama joke, but I don't want to get audited by the IRS, so forget that."

I like this trend! I really like it!

They would still vote him a third term.

"I was going to start off tonight with an Obama joke, but I don't want to get audited by the IRS, so forget that."

Hmmm. Perhaps that would explain the relative paucity of BJ Clintoon or Hitlery (Mrs. Bill Clinton) jokes during their reign compared to all the vitriol directed towards the Bush administration...

[MeshugeMikey]

I have no way of knowing.

Lettermen has been pegged as a progressive

Leno I dunno

I dont watch TV anymore

[FlingWingFlyer]

I don’t make Obama jokes because his name isn’t Weiner. That and I don’t want the IRS, NSA and FBI investigating me.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Letterman would probably feel more comfortable making sex jokes about one of Sarah Palin’s underage daughters.

I like the trend too, but one of the problems with 0bama jokes is the same as in 2008.

The left don't think they're funny and the right don't think they're jokes.

I was going to tell a Biden joke but I was afraid he’d blow a shotgun through my door.

[showme_the_Glory]

Apparently they got the message. The untraceable one. Don’t eff wit me crackuhs.

by accident.......

[Dallas59]

Don’t watch any network crap, except for the occasional disaster on the news.

[Cyman]

I’ll bet that old gap toothed adulterer had to have a gun pointed at his head to say that about his personal hero Urkel

[MeshugeMikey]

Id hadnt considered the fact that a “producer” might well have “provided” the material to letterman...and required he present it...prior

[MeshugeMikey]

I dont even have a TV at present.

Im paying for cable...for the net and tv....but dont ever see any TV

maybe when the one starts giving away free OBAMA-TVs

[shove_it]

Bingo.

[Joe Boucher]

This marxist turd is using the entire gub mint apparatus to after any and all critical of him and his chicago thug ways
Great job there msm yaworthless butt kissers

[MeshugeMikey]

Welcome to America in the Age Of Post Freedom.. Tyrannny

[miss marmelstein]

As someone close to the scene, Letterman ordered his writers not to make jokes about Obama. So they didn’t. Apparently, Letterman is under the thumb of his very liberal head writer (or at least he was).

Dear Leader holds the “applause” sign button.

the humor biz may be getting more market driven??
