3. He also said they should bring Saddam back
He said it humorously, but I bet he gets flack for it.
The audience isn't responding so enthusiastically - it's probably packed w/RWers, knowing Leno.

He also gave props to Howard Dean saying he got the Dems blood boiling - uh, he called him the "fluffer" for the Dem party :wow:

8. Did you see how uncomfortable Leno got with the 'fluffer' comment?
I was laughing my butt off watching him squirm as he tried to ignore the joke and move the conversation on, without much success.

9. oh come on, be fair

Leno is more democrat than republican. Sorry he has to make fun of everyone but if he doesn't the show gets kind of ridiculous. I agree it's a weird audience tonight. They didn't laugh at anything.

11. When he said "It's the Jews" in relation to Gibson's movie,
about 2 people clapped uncomfortably while the rest of the audience was silent.

4. Maher always bombs on Leno.
His audience is full of prudes who are two afraid to laugh.

6. I don't like it when he goes on there...
...cause he rashes his jokes from his show and he can't deliver them near as well.

12. I miss his show since ABC pulled it--
I don't get the expensive cable stations, so I haven't been able to watch him since then.

14. Maher actually killed on most points and jokes
When he ranted on religion along with the “Jews” comment regarding the passion movie the crowd went silent, other than that the crowd was behind him. The crowd really reacted well when Bill called out Bush for lying about Iraq.
