Why invite someone on to a "comedy show" and turn it into Crossfire? - YaelleMy thought, exactly!There already are enough "political" shows out there. :(--snip --I never ever saw Leno quite that rough on anyone ever. - YaelleI don't watch the "Tonight Show" often enough to speak with authority on this......but it did seem very "out of character" for Jay to be constantly INTERRUPTING Senator Cruz......and ZINGING him with obviously prepared "gotcha" statements, and clearly leftist talking points.
...but it did seem very "out of character" for Jay to be constantly INTERRUPTING Senator Cruz...I found the FULL TRANSCRIPT (provided by Senator Cruz's office) from last Friday's interview here:...and ZINGING him with obviously prepared "gotcha" statements, and clearly leftist talking points.
Video: Ted Cruz On The Tonight Show | The Lonely Conservative...and will now post from this transcript EXTENSIVELY, to prove my point. :)
What should Jay have done, just kiss his @ss all night?
I think he threw soft balls and hard balls at Cruz, and it allowed him to reach an audience that for the most part is liberal.
You win the argument, then the vote. He said that and it makes sense. That’s what Reagan did.
My only concern, if you will, is that Cruz comes across a bit feminine. I wish he would sit taller, and was more manly in his style and voice.
But for me, he’s my guy right now.
I’m sure Leno has been criticized by Dems because he has gone after Obama many times, something the media has completely backed off from. My guess is his audience knew this and loved it.
