But anything that mentions Reagan at this time is just asking for a backlash.

yeah, true. Especially since he is repected and loved by many.

i guess a really bad taste of a joke heh...


but imagine, saying a joke, and getting nothing from the audience....a bit humiliating.

he's probably gonna have a fit w/ one of the writers hehehhe...yeah always blame the writers 🙂

From memory:

[High pitched Leno voice] I know all of you heard that President Reagan died over the weekend. But you know, Reagan and Bush were sorta alike. Both Bush and Reagan had to come to terms with their foes...but Reagan didn't invade his opposers. [/High pitched Leno voice]

That joke isn't funny anyway regardless of the circumstance. I mean, there's just no comedy there.

Well...the nation except for the people linked to in this thread

There is some SERIOUS hate going on in the link posted to in that thread.

universal cynists i guess...

well he did live to be 93. Humans die anyways. again, he lived to 93. most people don't live passed 70s.

so in the end, Reagan wins. He had a pretty cool life, and lived to 93. The OP of that thread in the link probably is angry at everything, and stress will be his downfall, and he'll die at 60. hehehe.
 
It's not that everyone loves Reagan. He singlehandedly widened the divide between the middle class and the rich, and was one of the most transparent puppets the Republican party ever put into Presidency. It's that his death represents a chance for America as a nation to look nostalgically back to a time when 9/11 and Osama wasn't on the radar.
 
For those demanding a clip I'll have one in a bit. I'm on Mountain time and Jay Leno has yet to air on my NBC affiliate. I have set my ReplayTV to record the show when it comes on. Once he's said the joke I'll stop the recording, transfer it to my PC, do some quick editing to bring down the filesize and upload it to my FTP server.

I'm not offended. But that's just ... not funny. 😕 Was there a joke in there or something?

Disagree with his politics all you want. But calling him a puppet shows very clearly what a complete and utter moron you truly are. Bad enough that you start Reagan bashing in a NON P&N topic right after his death. But even worse that you do it when you have absolutely no idea wtf you are talking about. Go hide under your P&N rock you fvcking piece of shiat troll.
