The thing that strikes me is not the joke itself, but the fact that Leno is confident enough that the story is known by the mainstream public that he can crack a joke about it.
The audience’s knowing laughter speaks volumes. This story IS GETTING OUT, despite the media blackout.
GOOD NEWS for new media!!!
That’s what was significant to me as well. It’s indicative that the American people are finding out about the Libya coverup IN SPITE of the complete silence of the MSM.
It also tells me that Leno knows that fewer people are in the tank for Obama, that he felt confident to make both of these jokes at his expense.
