For EXTRA CREDIT,
what movie hero best describes TED CRUZ?
Arguing with a liberal is like chasing a roach around the kitchen counter.
Would you please PING your "Ted Cruz" list to this thread?
I know that this is MUCH less "serious" than your usual fare,Thank you.
but I really think that we need to "control the narrative" --
since, in the words of Andrew Breitbart, "Politics is downstream from culture."
Did you REALLY expect something different?Yes, I did. :)
Something much more like THIS:From the FR archives:

-- snip --Video: Palin’s appearance on Tonight Show
posted at 9:30 am on March 3, 2010 by Ed MorrisseyThe Right Scoop captured last night’s canny performance from Sarah Palin on Jay Leno’s renewed Tonight Show...
Leno looked like a desperate man. What was it that had his underwear in knots? He looked hell bent on sticking it to Cruz in a social situation. Very weird viewing. Like, trying his best to demonize the opposition, when the incumbents are such incompetent boobs. Anyone with half an education can see exactly what Leno was trying to do.
Dennis, being more familiar with the media stage, knowing what he was going to get, absolutely destroyed Leno's idiot leftist constructs when he tried to put them by him. He ridiculed Leno in the finest manner. It was hilarious to watch Leno's face drop in defeat.
Cruz did well, but will have to understand the attacks that will come in a clear way. I have faith he will learn well, he actually carried himself fine, bringing Leno to a draw, but he has to understand that people like Leno are inviting him on to destroy him and plan how to deliver his message in the face of that kind of evil.
Leno can’t hang with his wife and friends if he doesn’t come in like a ball breaker onto the heinous Tea Party Ted Cruz. His tolerant liberal friends couldn’t tolerate it if he treated Ted Cruz as a human being. If he showed even the slightest respect or kindness, as he does with bit actresses and dog and pony shows, he would be thrown out of Hollywood onto his chin.
I’m saying that I was in the studio audience when Jay interviewed Sarah Palin (once) and Ann Coulter (twice),
and I did not recognize the Jay Leno that I saw reading Obama talking points at Ted Cruz last Friday.
I never ever saw Leno quite that rough on anyone ever. It was clear he was instructed not to let up or show any humanity. He was reading from a sheet or card and just kept returning to it like a guy with a knife hanging over his head.
I don’t think it was by his NBC bosses; I don’t think he gives a poop about them. I think it might have been from wife and friends, social pressure.
I've never seen him use a talking points "prop" like that.
Leno was an ass. Not as big of an ass as Letterman was to Limbaugh, but pretty close.
Why invite someone on to a "comedy show" and turn it into Crossfire?
Why invite someone on to a "comedy show" and turn it into Crossfire?My thought, exactly!
There already are enough "political" shows out there. :(
No harm, no foul. I thought it was great that Leno “challenged” Cruz (what a joke!). It gave Cruz a chance to explain to a nationwide audience what he was doing and why. Those questions may have seemed tough and unfair to some of our Freepers, but to Cruz, they were softball lobs, which he regularly hit out of the park. Leno did him a big favor with those questions. Do you think he is a secret Cruz in ‘16 supporter?
I never ever saw Leno quite that rough on anyone ever.I 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.
I don’t think it was by his NBC bosses...Mavis Leno could be PART of the problem....I think it might have been from his wife and friends, social pressure.
From WND.com:
How the Lenos' 'help' actually harms women
Exclusive: Jill Stanek targets Jay and Mavis over fundraiser for feminist groupIn 2005, Jay Leno’s wife, Mavis, told the Detroit Free Press:
"Our current conservative, religious government is obsessed with women on life support and with fetuses because they are imaginary people..."...So Leno can spare me her words of concern for the plight of oppressed women in Afghanistan,
which is why she says she is hosting a Hollywood fundraiser for the Feminist Majority Foundation (FMF)
on April 29 with her soon-to-be NBC prime-time player husband, Jay.One right they want is for Afghan women to be free to abort. Crazy.Mavia [sp] Leno is a long-time board member of FMF, which was founded and is headed
by former National Organization for Women President Eleanor Smeal. FMF took over Ms. Magazine in 2001.Of course, FMF supports abortion on demand, even issuing a congratulatory e-mail when infamous late-term abortionist
George Tiller was acquitted of criminal charges last month and encouraging followers to"Send Dr. Tiller a message of support for all his work for women!"FMF sends "community organizers" throughout the country to train abortion mill deathscorts. It supports taxpayer-funded abortion.FMF promoted access for both men and women to purchase the morning-after pill without a prescription
and is now pushing for minor boys and girls to have the same access. It opposes parental involvement laws before abortion for minors...
Mavis Leno could be PART of the problem...Except that she is not NEW...
From marriage.about.com:
Jay and Mavis were married in a small wedding at a friends' home on November 30, 1980...That is, Jay was already married to Mavis for a long time
...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. :)
Ted Cruz with Jay Leno: Cruz stands with the 99% hit hard by ObamacareSee also, from www.richestnetworth.com:
while Jay defends the rich and connected.
I agree. Can you you imagine Obozo, “Uhh, uuhh, uh” without a teleprompter in a similar set up ?
Leno continually told ‘stupid Bush’ jokes. There was one of those quips in every monologue.
His Obama jokes are not about stupidity.
My idea is to tag the voters:
Did you hear about the Obama voter who locked his keys in his car?
He had to use a coat hanger to get his family out.
Thanks for that.
