"The audience was apparently heavy with Coulter fans, because all of the anti-Bush jokes in Leno's monologue fell flat."
I don't think that is true. I agree that no one sitting around me in the upper stands really caught on to Leno's "I'm going up to read" joke, mostly because that part of the audience couldn't hear it. Jay has a tendency to almost mumble, and while you can hear him on-camera, if you're in the studio audience, depending upon where you're sitting, it can be hard to hear. Actually that joke is pretty funny.
The other 'anti'-Bush joke that wasn't hilarious was the one about 'gay marriages' in Iraq. It was just amusing. (I give my reason at the end of this post.)
The others, I thought, were pretty funny: about Bush having to sneak back INTO the US, about him being an 'undocumented leader', and about Bush cancelling Rove's hunting trip with Dick Cheney. I liked those jokes! But of course, the ones about Democrats were even more hilarious! After all, all good humor has some basis in reality.
And then, I linked to it YESTERDAY on THIS YEAR'S thread (from 2006) -- and it has already picked up ANOTHER 40,000 hits!Apparently, I had a better title LAST YEAR. :o)
