Letterman mocks Schwarzenegger (Damn those NY intellectuals)

Letterman mocks Schwarzenegger
‘Meet the Governor’ segments show embarrassing clips

ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK, Oct. 21 — In contrast to the “Tonight” show — Arnold Schwarzenegger’s unofficial late-night venue — David Letterman is airing material that would make most politicians consider a career change. Over the past week, Letterman’s “Meet the Governor” segment has rolled old footage of the incoming California governor grasping a woman’s buttocks, smoking marijuana and grinning goofily dressed in an Indian outfit.

In one, he is seen conversing with a woman over a table of food. At Schwarzenegger’s urging, she seductively licks a carrot stick.

THERE’S NO POLITICAL motivation; Letterman just wants to be funny, said Rob Burnett, executive producer of Letterman’s “Late Show.”

“For us, it’s an easy decision — what is on the mind of the country and can it be made funny?” he said. “Arnold as governor of California satisfies both objectives. As a bonus, it’s pretty easy to make funny.”

A Schwarzenegger spokesman did not return repeated phone calls for comment.

did you do that?

am sending that one all over the place!

OK with you?

:)

he saw a clip of arnie's victory party with leno in it..and Dave said.."what's that guy doin' there?!

Its time someone in NY gave bush & arnie hell.

if the comics go after him, people will start waking up.

Myself included. Letterman is a has been!

Leno really stopped being funny a long time ago IMHO. Actually, I'd rather watch Jon Stewart than either of them.

how can you stand Leno's contempt for everyone else in the world (possibly excepting Arnold) ? Is there more to his schtick than that ?
Are you still enjoying Clinton jokes ? Please share the basis for your appreciation....

included.. plus he's Not Funny! Clete is right about Jon Stewert, IMO!

And a Big Plus in Dave's favor is he doesn't suck up to the repukes in fact he pretty much does the opposite!

His "joke" was what is the difference between Arnold's and Clinton's women? So-called punchline; About 100 pounds.

I couldn't believe it. My partner and I just looked at each other in shock.

Leno used to be funny about 20 years ago. Just another whore now.

You watch Leno?

who seems lately to be out of their cotton-pickin' mind.

Where is your Indiana pride huh? I think Letterman is 1000 times funnier than Leno....I for one cant stand the giving airtime to miller, Arnie enableing leno..Heck the last time I watched leno he was stealing one of lettermans gags by flinging stuff and watching it smash..

that this group of "most people" are uninformed?

only Letterman for me. Leno is a repub suck-up.

Here's what caught my eye.
"Leno made 18 jokes at Schwarzenegger's expense between Aug. 6 and Oct. 6.

During the same time period, Letterman made 40 jokes about Schwarzenegger, the Washington-based think tank said.

Leno made a total of 69 jokes about Schwarzenegger's political opponents, including Gray Davis, Cruz Bustamante and Arianna Huffington, while Letterman made only three."

I was a Letterman fan from the time of his Morning show then when he went to CBS I quit watching because I couldn't pick up the local CBS station where I was living at the time. I worked nights and got home right at 11:30 so I would flip the tv on while fixing dinner and would watch Leno. I very rarely laughed at any of his jokes and finally got cable a couple years ago and have only switched back to Leno a handful of times since. Even taking politics out of the equation I don't like Leno's jokes, delivery or interviewing style.
