Good catch, re_nortex!! I've only been watching Leno's opening monologues recently, but I think you're right. Tonight is the first time I've ever seen a flag pin on Leno's lapel. To show up Sen. Cruz apparently....
I have a Leno story. He breezed in for the 95th Harley fest in Milwaukee in about 1999. Didn’t talk with anyone before or after the 10 minute appearance...which he was compensated for way more than he should have been ..and worst of all, there were two children on stage with him in wheelchairs and he didn’t greet either one of them...walked by them as if they were invisible.
