Jay Leno continued his unrelenting attacks on the White House Monday.

The NBC Tonight Show host opened last night’s show saying the film “American Hustle” is “about the marketing of ObamaCare” (video follows with transcript and commentary):

JAY LENO: Did you all watch the Golden Globes last night? [Applause] Tina Fey, Amy Poehler very funny. Boy, they are just the best. Of course, the big winner, the big winner was "American Hustle,” a film about the marketing of ObamaCare. I thought that was fascinating. [Laughter and applause]

What makes the joke even funnier is "American Hustle" is loosely based on the late 1970s/early 1980s FBI operation called ABSCAM which eventually morphed into an investigation into public corruption.

Ahh yes....Rita Jenrette.

Those were the days.

Good joke.

Elizabeth Ray, Rite Jenrette, and yes, Donna Rice. Our pols had better taste back then. (compare to Customer #9, Genn Flowrs, etc.)

I hope Jay has been smart enough to have saved and discreetly placed his money. The majority of Jay’s liquid and intangible assets should be tucked away in such a byzantine manner that it remains private and protected from any punishment audits this White House make outsource to their pet buzzard, the IRS. As we speak, Valery is stirring her cauldron, planning to smack him down, administratively speaking, of course!

And let's not forget Wilbur Mills' main weakness...Fanne Foxe.
