Leno: IRS Can't Determine Powerball Winner's Taxes Until They Know If She's A Rep Or Dem
Real Clear Politics ^ | 06/06/13 | Staff

Posted on 06/06/2013 10:36:48 AM PDT by DFG

JAY LENO: Well, folks, the mystery is over. The winner has been revealed. After a month of waiting, it turns out an 84-year-old woman in Florida has won the $590 million Powerball lottery. $590 million, 84 years old. I bet her kids regret putting grandma in the nursing home now. Huh? Yeah, no. 'We love you grandma! we were just coming to see you next weekend. We didn't know!'

It's already gone to her head. She already had big rims put on her Rascal scooter, you know. She's got the -- she's going all out. Now, as for how much tax she's going to have to pay on that $590 million, the IRS said it's too soon to tell 'cause they don't know whether she's a a Republican or a Democrat. So it's going to be a while -- it's going to take a while to figure that out. Yeah. (The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, June 5, 2013)

Leno the only fair and balanced person on TV

Obama ordered his IRS to rig the election of 2012 for Obama and democrats/socialists in the Senate. Obama also used other gov agencies to rig the election. Why isn’t anyone shouting this form the rooftops? Come on Levin, coulter , Sarah Palin, Rush, DRudge etc. call Obama out on this and call for Obama’s resignation.

Obama’s IRS prevented many tea party groups from getting started The IRS stole the election. We no longer live in a free country

Personally I think he’s trying to provoke the Democrat hacks who run Comcast/NBC into firing him so he can get out of his contract and go to work for Fox.

A good comedian makes fun of what is the news. No need to read any more into this.

My DIL works for Blue Cross and we were talking about the stupidity of the new 140,000 medical codes she is having to work with. She also said that if the wrong code is used, they can refuse to pay, but the way the codes are, it’s not easy. I said they should just have one set of codes start with D for Democrat and another one with R, then it will make it easier to know which to deny. Same with tax forms.

So if Jay wants to get out of his contract before then he'll keep piling on the Obama zingers.

They will get him.

Meanwhile, it’s good that a member of the media has turned against the big fascist.

shows the stupidity of government/socialism and that gov doesn't work. (capitalism) the free market works without any codes or planning just look at the exponential growth in smart phone,electronics ,software, tech.

all democrats voted for this monstrous Obamacare

And all the medical codes were written by bureaucrats, no medical. She said she was looking for “cardiac arrest” and closely coded to it was “bus driver hit by deer while outside of bus”.

perfect illustration of why socialism/government can NEVER work. that is so stupid, so inflexible .compare to capitalism for example the technology in free market electronics that changes almost daily and improves almost daily with no government bureaucrat planning or approving etc.

Ever notice how the original Cover your ass narrative of the IRS about the low-level Cincinnati employees being the ones responsible for this “goof” follows the template of blaming the Benghazi attack on reactions of a bunch of misguided Muslims who saw or heard about the anti-Islam video or a handful of malcontents who were just walking around and got the idea to “kill some Americans”, as per Hillary’s “scenario”? The reality of both situations puts the origin and the responsibilty for both “scandals” in the hands of
higher-ups: the Washington IRS overlords,on the one hand, and the official policies of Al Qaeda surrogate groups on the other. I’ve yet to hear questioning in the hearings which makes the comparison, but it is a useful one, and would highlight the thoroughgoing corruption of this Administration, and how far it will go to spin the truth.Like the old circus ride “The Rotor” you can spin and spin faster and faster until you’re plastered with centrifugal force against the outer walls, and THEN it’s safe to have the bottom fall out. It’s fun watching the bottom fall out of this Administration, though these scandals constitute just a couple of the 1000 cuts that are slowly doing them in.

Jay Leno might not understand this - but it's wonderful of him to make fun of both sides.

Leno's subtly telling people in power that they're hurting everyday Americans who happen to be conservative. Also, Leno's smart enough to know powerful Democrats will target him - with the IRS and others means - but he's still brave enough to stand with defenseless citizens. That's impressive. Jon Stewart's done the same. It means a lot to those of us being bullied by powerful people in our government.

Thank you Jay Leno - you're becoming a hero to me.
