Thanks for the post... not on for another hour here, and I would have missed it but for the tip from the early crowd!

You know Tony Blair is a cute kid and one of my favorite Martin Short characters in waiting, but the simple fact is we don’t consult the Brits on anything anymore.

OMG ROFLMAOOOOOOOOOO I wish I'd seen this tonight!!

Our idea was that he could have taken a helicoptor to Orange County. But I agree that keeping the money flowing is good for all of us. The worst thing would be if someone hoarded it. I don't mind the trickle down effect. Any my husband sure doesn't. He flew someone to Monterey from Van Nuys and each pilot got a $300 tip. He flew Tim Conway and Harvey Korman to Vegas and he got a $100 ck from Conway. Our other business is construction, where lowest bidder gets the job. All in all, I like the job of working for rich people a whole lot better.

Forgot to add, as soon as he mentioned Michael Moore, the audience BOOED!

But, just as with the Academy Awards show, Moore would explain it by saying that only one person was actually booing Moore and that all the other people were booing the person who was booing Moore.

Yeah. He said this was a war of self-defense and Pres. Bush wanted to show the world that there was a point where we weren't going to take anymore (bleep) from anyone.

Great stuff.

Biggest name entertainer I flew was Sidney Poitier. Very Nice guy. (No Tip tho) lol

Flew my man Jesse Helms a lot.

Fregards,

Great thread...loving these zingers.

I wonder what his opinion of Rivera is?

Did anyone catch the staging of one of Rivera's last appearances with the 101st? He gets all these troopers to stand in a crowd and then he--Jerry Rivers--walks gallantly out from among them in one of the campiest self-promotions I have ever seen even someone like him try. It was almost as if to say, "this war isn't about an Iraqi dictator, it's about ME Geraldo Rivera!!"

Good Evening All-

Posted by Aria...Our idea was that he could have taken a helicoptor to Orange County...

Taking a 10-minute flight via jet might be the equivalent of 90-minute limousine ride or a 35-minute helicopter flight. If someone is catching a commercial flight, it might be worth it to connect via private jet.

Corporate officers in my firm occasionally take the company helicopter from our HQ to the airport for security and timing reasons...which is probably all of ten minutes. I'm OK with that because I want them busting their asses increasing stock value in the leftover time!

Anyway, we all had dinner together and the co-pilot told me that Leno will take a jet from Van Nuys to the Orange County airport. A 10 minute flight. We thought that was pretty ridiculous.

Not to me. There is nothing like taking off or landing in a plane. A great natural high. No pun intended.

Negotiating with Saddam Hussein is about as practical as practicing aroma therapy on a French man.

This time of night it's beer on the monitor. Messy, very messy...

[patriciaruth]

And it takes an hour and a half to drive from Van Nuys to Orange County....

[GretchenEE]

Thanks for posting the heads up. The show just was on here on the West Coast. Miller did a great job.

Jay already went over to Kuwait a few months ago with Dwight Yokum and some other performers to do shows for a lot of military personnel during the buildup, so I wouldn't be surprised if he did more of it for the USO in the future.

I write topical comedy for a living myself (for radio syndication), and I can watch his monologues and tell that he's doing exactly what I have to do: do jokes about all sides to be perceived as "fair," but the anti-Bush jokes are all based on stale "comedy templates," like "Bush is dumb," "Cheney is really in charge," etc., that nobody really believes anymore. Meanwhile, his jokes about the left, like ours, are much sharper and based on actual, up-to-the-minute quotes and events. That's because liberals roll out of bed every morning (or afternoon) and go to work on their one and only job: creating raw material for us comedy writers.

HA!

I loved how he referred to Pelosi, Kennedy, and Dasshole: "The Democratic Guard"

the Democratic "Elite" Guard

Proof we are winning the fight on the military front: We have the Baghdad Airport.

Proof we are winning the fight for the homefront: We have the funny comedians.

[Im Your Huckleberry]

Anybody can put up a video link that taped this? I'd love someone to put this on-line.

That was the funniest thing yet, from Miller, I was nearly pissing myself during his rant about Michael Moore...we at least need a transcript!

"Yeah, Mikey! You hate this country. You're so down with everything and jaded, and yet you show up at the Oscars and accept an Oscar...isn't that sort of the premiere, American hood ornament? At least Eminem had the balls not to show up!"

That was the best...

and...

"And Mikey can tell us how America sucks, and how we just don't get it, and what sheep we are....And ya know, if my yawn were any wider they'd have to give it a Hurricaine's name".

Man, I gotta see that again...that was just too funny!

[Im Your Huckleberry]

Did you hear how the minute he said Moore's name the audience "BOO"-ed, and when he thanked Bush and the soldiers the audience went nuts, cheering?

Heh, heh, heh...the majority gets it...and that means the Democrats are on the way to minority party status for the next 100 years...

Did you hear what he called Nancy Pelosi, Tom Daschle and Ted Kennedy?..."The Elite Democrat Guard".

OUCH!
