Jay Leno’s Halloween Costume Idea: ‘Wear a Re-Elect Obama Button and Go Out as a Journalist’

Scrounging for a cheap, last-minute Halloween costume? “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno’s got you covered.

“Here is a very inexpensive costume idea,” Leno said Friday. “Wear a re-elect Obama button and go out as a journalist.”

While Leno cracked himself up with the joke, he apparently sensed his audience’s uncertainty. When they did laugh, Leno turned to his band leader and said, “took a while.”

NewsBusters has the clip:

Of course, you wouldn’t even need an Obama button if you were lucky enough to grab a spoof “Journalists for Obama” T-shirt at the Democratic National Convention last month.

Thanks Jay for stating the obvious. I don’t think it will make a differance at this point. Romney people need to get out and vote no matter what. We’ll need to offset the voter fraud going on with the De, so we need every Romney voter on board.

  They didn’t get it Jay, because most Journalist were their Obama Bumper Sticker on their Forehead. Why are we calling them Journalist anyway? I like to refer to them as lap dogs.

  You know it’s bad when the late night comedians make jokes about the obvious. The main stream media, if they had an ounce of integrity, should feel ashamed of themselves. They’ve gone from being America’s watchdogs to Obama’s lapdogs. They disgust me.

  Jay works for himself, Jenny. Go back and watch his interviews with Bush. Pretty soft there too. Leno is an entertainer/comedian not a journalist/reporter. His job is to entertain. Not investigate.

NOV 2010: We took back the US House of Representatives.
NOV 2012: We take back the rest of our country.
…the days are numbered for lunatic-left d-cRAT socialist extremism. On Nov. 6 Americans will bury that failed ideology deeper than the Germans buried their National Socialism.
PS: 2012 will also have a great and historic BONUS: ALL credibility of the biased, corrupt “mainstream media” will be totally and completely destroyed in the view of the overwhelming majority of Americans – who will NO LONGER believe anything presented by this despicable bunch concerning “news,” “information,” or their leftist-propaganda-laced “entertainment.” And, in another historic event, Americans’ loathing of hollyweird degenerates – and all the disgusting things they stand for – will reach an all-time high.

Election Levity, Election Reality

(The following observations are based on emails received from concerned Americans.)

Elections by their very nature are comic exercises as well as momentous events.

Most of the comedy involves efforts by politicians to deceive the electorate into believing the pols are something they are not. That deception was evident when our master presidential bullsh*tter told Rolling Stone that his opponent was a “bullsh*tter.” Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! The comical hypocrisy also comes through loudly and clearly when his campaign decries Republicans as enemies of women after then-State Senator Obama failed to vote for a 1999 Illinois bill intended to defend rape victims.

At the same time, politicians’ terms in office can often determine the futures of their constituencies, making elections very momentous on personal levels.

First, the levity since we all need a good laugh now and then.

We especially need a comic perspective because November 6th, 2012 represents the day on which Americans will decide whether they want another four years of President Barack Hussein Obama’s failed policies of hopeless change, of divisiveness, of national malaise, of socialism–or whether they desperately want a return to traditional values, to national unity, to fiscal sanity.

The following cartoon video features an unexpected visit by the late, great former President Ronald Wilson Reagan to the current occu

  Letterman was a washed up, old, has-been, before he even got famous. The only reason he ever even got famous, was because it was considered hip/cool if you watched Letterman. I thank God that I met him before he got too famous and found out what a bastich, SOB, he was.

I used to have trust in the mainstream news but they are so biased now and not willing to learn the real facts that it takes to be true and honest reporters. I do not know why any tv corporation would even want such reporting over their networks. I sure don’t watch anymore and won’t until they change back to honest commentary reporting. They could all go out dressed as the devil.

  I one thing I left out in my survey is that about 90% of the people that come by are from the nearby projects and the parents are all on welfare for life.
  
  It’s a shame that Children have to grow up in that kind of environment.

  It would have been a smarter investment for the Feds to EVERY American $40,000 at the time to do whatever with. Don’t really endorse that, either but, it would have been cheaper.
