The ‘Jay Leno Backlash’ Comes Like A Hurricane

by Jim Newell  

No clue who this person is, but yeah, it’s happened. You knew this article would be written eventually, or maybe you didn’t, because of the lack of sense being made. Basically this lady wrote speeches for George H.W. Bush and loved attending the secret media Gridiron Club dinner, then, but now Barack Obama has declined that invitation while accepting an invitation to this televised clown program. She seems to think that his appearance on Leno will be as a stand-up comic… but that’s not really how it’ll work, Miss Lady? You know? [US News]

Mary Kate Cary = Miss Cleo

comradepaulson March 17, 2009 at 5:29 pm

I thought Mary Cary was a porn star?

Jukesgrrl March 17, 2009 at 5:29 pm

Yeah, like playing the sax (badly) on TV ruined Bill Clinton’s career.

IceCreamEmpress March 17, 2009 at 5:30 pm

I never believed anybody’s mother when they said “The other kids make fun because they’re jealous,” but I think Stanley Anne Dunham Obama Soetoro Dunham-again could have said that and actually meant it.

smashtheduck March 17, 2009 at 5:31 pm

Moderated comments? What kinda pinko-commie bullshit is that?

loquaciousmusic March 17, 2009 at 5:33 pm

But what does Ashley think?

smashtheduck March 17, 2009 at 5:38 pm

Sometimes, when I get really nervous. I put my fingers under my armpits like this. Then I smell them like this. SUPERSTAR.

Bruno March 17, 2009 at 5:39 pm

[re=267406]Jukesgrrl[/re]: And Billz never used a teleprompter while playing the sex, I mean sax

Atheist Nun March 17, 2009 at 5:40 pm

Oh, yeah? Well… Did Nancy Reagan’s appearance on that “very special episode” of Diff’rent Strokes diminish her… uh… First Ladyhood? Did it?!?

Bruno March 17, 2009 at 5:43 pm

The multi-paragraph comments on that site remind me of this weekend’s new wonkette commenters. I hope the ban hammer slapped down hard on those multipage bores.

SayItWithWookies March 17, 2009 at 5:44 pm

It’s a pity that Barack Obama’s (casual dress code/going on Leno/fumbling of the AIG bonuses) has diminished the office of the presidency. Why, when I worked in the White House my (blood-drenched greedhead/world-class buffoon/kleptomaniac) boss used to accord these events the dignity they deserved, albeit with a morsel of (skepticism/anxiety about which fork to use/raving paranoia). Sigh — I guess it’s just a sign of the (times/dumbing down of America/coming Apocalypse) that noble office of the Presidency is not the (old boys’ club/lonely intellectual crag/oilmen’s brothel) that it once was.

Bruno March 17, 2009 at 5:45 pm

Abe Lincoln, the ultimate Republican, never did any TV ever. Therefore television bad. Ban Fox News

LittlePig March 17, 2009 at 5:47 pm

Marrying Battleaxe Barbara “The Fartsack of Flushing” Pierce was the move that most diminished Poppy’s Presidency.

comradepaulson March 17, 2009 at 5:51 pm

You know, it’s simple calculus. The Gridiron dinner involves an evening spent with multiple douchebags. The Jay Leno show only requires sitting down with one for about fifteen minutes. It’s not diminishing the Presidency; it’s effectively reducing one’s exposure to harmful douche-rays.

I do not expect this Mary woman knows anything about this.

Fox n Fiends March 17, 2009 at 5:52 pm

Mary Kate Cary’s vagina will diminish our erections

ManchuCandidate March 17, 2009 at 5:53 pm

Anyone is diminished when they appear with Jay Leno.

Custerwolf March 17, 2009 at 5:56 pm

She outta commit Mary Cary.

wheelie March 17, 2009 at 5:57 pm

Bush Jnr did his famously funny “Those weapons of mass destruction gotta be somewhere” stand-up routine in 2004. Oh my, how we laughed. No-one can top that!

grevillea March 17, 2009 at 6:01 pm

Leno should get someone in blackface, with a banjo. That’s way more funny than an actual colored any day.

Mr Blifil March 17, 2009 at 6:03 pm

I would not titty-fuck her with Charles Grassley’s dick.

Canuckledragger March 17, 2009 at 6:09 pm

Stealing elections, with or without complicit Supreme Court? Cool!

Starting a war on false evidence cherry-picked for provocation rather than certainty. Excellent!

Remaining business partners with 9/11 mastermind’s family. No sweat!

Turning the country into an internatonal laughingstock? Wunderbar!

Suspending habeus corpus and spying on US citizens? Superior!

Ensuring political donors end up being huge war profiteers? Noble!

Being the biggest mass murderer since Nixon? An achievement!

Appearing on a late night TV talk show? Beneath the president’s dignity!

See how that shit works???

grevillea March 17, 2009 at 6:10 pm

Oh, and of course now SlumMooseWasillionaire is copying Barry, hoping she’ll be invited on a talkshow, also.

grevillea March 17, 2009 at 6:15 pm

[re=267476]Canuckledragger[/re]: She wrote for Bush 41, not 43. But yes, the ACORN does not fall far from the tree…

wheelie March 17, 2009 at 6:19 pm

[re=267454]Custerwolf[/re]: A most excellent pun!

lawrenceofthedesert March 17, 2009 at 6:21 pm

It’s classic t.v. — The Ears meet The Chin, a genuine Mr. Potato Head moment. Whereas Mary Kate’s boss was the Ass and out of the picture entirely.

Dreadful Gate March 17, 2009 at 6:25 pm

Do I come on Mary Kate Cary’s blog and knock the dicks out of her mouth? What?

sarcasticusername March 17, 2009 at 6:34 pm

and here i thought it was being a criminal asshat who can’t form complete sentences, that diminished a presidency.

Teleprompter

There are some questions as to whether Obama’s use of a teleprompter is appropriate. He has been using one for almost all of his speeches, and it seems as though he was using one last night on Leno. It should be at least clarified as to why he is using the teleprompter all the time. The American People deserve the truth about these teleprompter dealings.

shortsshortsshorts March 17, 2009 at 6:35 pm

And who did this comment?

[re=267432]Bruno[/re]: But Reagan, the second most ultimate Republican did TV. He never did the Tonight Show though. Therefore, TV good, Tonight Show bad.

smashtheduck March 17, 2009 at 6:52 pm

[re=267509]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: you’re welcome. Glad you could join me in that hell. It was getting lonely but at least it hasn’t turned into the doctor Phil show.

AnnieGetYourFun March 17, 2009 at 7:02 pm

Shorts, you’re just about taking over the comments section. Thanks for the giggle, though.

Really, I can’t think of anything stupider to whine about. What is WITH the press these days? Sheesh.

prime ministress March 17, 2009 at 7:05 pm

Ugh. Do not read that article. The click through traffic will get her all excited, and she will start selling digital cable converters and writing incoherent books and buying a plumbing business without a license.

Green Soda March 17, 2009 at 7:11 pm

Nixon, Laugh In.

One Yield Regular March 17, 2009 at 7:14 pm

[re=267528]prime ministress[/re]: Too late for me, but l can at least second your advice, for those reasons plus the fact that she drones on and on and on as though wandering through the desert in search of an ever-elusive important point.

Advocatus_Diaboli March 17, 2009 at 7:21 pm

I will not click through. I’ve never heard of this cunt (and cunt she must be since my beloved Wonkette is giving her the David Denby whatfor), nor do I wish to read what stupid shit she must be saying.

Min March 17, 2009 at 7:27 pm

Barry could blow Leno on his desk in front of the studio audience, and he would still have done less to diminish the office of the Presidency than George W. Bush.

I’m just sayin’.

bago March 17, 2009 at 7:28 pm

Acting as a click-thru proxy:

TELEPROMPTERZ

COMMIE LENO IS NO AMERICAN. LENO DON’T EVEN HAZ TRUCKNUTZ. ED MCMAHON IS AMERICAN. HE KNOWS YOU SHULD BUY ALL THE GOLD. AMERICANS DON’T USE TELEPROMPTERZ. OBAMA WANTS YOU TO BUY ACORNS. REZKO SOLD THE MUSLIN THAT TELEPROMPTERZ. INVESTIGATIONZ OF ACORN TELEPROMPTERZ NOW.

Madeline March 17, 2009 at 7:30 pm

I think Ashley Cary is the cuter twin.

smashtheduck March 17, 2009 at 7:33 pm

Please tell me this is one of us and therefore a joke….please????:
“I’m not comfortable with Obama being interviewed on a prestigious show like Leno.
Maybe if he was the band leader in the background, you know, the one who makes quips that aren’t funny and laughs extra hard at the host’s jokes. That is where this inadequate “President” belongs.”

smashtheduck March 17, 2009 at 7:34 pm

[re=267540]bago[/re]: I’ve decided this whole “all-caps” thing is much more funner than punkchoayshun.

comradepaulson March 17, 2009 at 7:36 pm

[re=267530]Green Soda[/re]: Wait, we get to sock it to Barry, then? I bet he looks good doused in water.

dougbob March 17, 2009 at 8:22 pm

BREAKING NEWS….WorldNetDaily has exclusive proof that Obama is using the restrooms at the White House. What’s up with that? I mean, Bush was there for 8 years and held it. Doesn’t Barry want to be as full of crapola as good ol’ #43?

proudgrampa March 17, 2009 at 8:25 pm

[re=267530]Green Soda[/re]: Sock It to Me?

Tommy Says Soooo March 17, 2009 at 8:43 pm

I’d hit it if SKS was ovulating.

QuestionEvil March 17, 2009 at 10:42 pm

She is right. Bush would have known how to maintain his “dignity” as president and appear on Jay’s show while still showing how much superior and above us he was.

I’m thinking a flyover in Air Force One while he looks out the window upon the little people below in LA. Hey it worked for Katrina, why not Leno.

shortsshortsshorts March 17, 2009 at 11:31 pm

[re=267571]Tommy Says Soooo[/re]: If we kill enough babies and stuffs, than we can grow enough stem-cells and ALL OVULATE. That would be pretty awesome, because if I grew breasts, well that would be nice. In addition, it seems that when a guy doesn’t fuck-up and do the minute-man thing, the woman gets to enjoy it even more than the primordial beast standing over her, humping under her, or sometimes performing behind her. In those hypothetical situations the woman gets better hump for her dollar. However, even the male of the species can enjoy the same satisfaction, as an entire heterosexual race of hermaphrodites. Ir a homosexual race of heteromites, er a hermaheterohomosecudite race of Paultards.

When will Barack Obama denounce and reject this?

smashtheduck March 18, 2009 at 12:56 am

For the record, this was not mine. Truly inspiring though.:
“FIRST THEY TELEPROMPTED DEBATES AN I DIDNOT TELEPROMPZ THEN THEY TELEPROMPT THE NOOZ AN I DIDNOT TELEPROMPZ THEN THE SPORTCENTER AN I DIDNOT TELEPROMPZ THEN THE INFOMERSHUL AN I DIDNOT TELEPROMPZ THEN THEY TELEPROMPZZ KENYA AN I NOT TELEPROMPZ THEN THEY TELEPROMPZ HAWAII BIRTH REGISTRY AN I NOT TELEPROMPZ THEN THEY TELEPROPMZ THE BRIEFING ROOM AN I DID NOT TELEPRMPZ THEN THEY TELEPROMZ ME AN I NOT TELEPROMZ SO GUD ENNYMORE ALSO TELEPROMPTERZ”

Dorje Chenmo March 18, 2009 at 1:00 am

Mort Zuckerman is a genius – but his magazine is almost full right wing echo chamber retard. I wish he’d hire some honest intelligent people instead of presentable propagandists.

Bruno March 18, 2009 at 3:07 am

[re=267607]smashtheduck[/re]: please someone takecredit for this one. It’s either from over here or someone at Rumproast.

Bruno March 18, 2009 at 3:12 am

I just re-read the revised comments. So much better. Thanks team, gold stars for all!

TGY March 18, 2009 at 9:28 am

Where was this chick when W was declarin’ wars on false premises? Seems to me *that* diminishes the ol’ presidency. Also, maybe the presidency should be diminished a bit, yes?

AngryAtheist March 18, 2009 at 11:42 am

Why is that that each new day on the intertubes brings with it yet another person I want to slap the crap out of?

Mary Kate Cary needs to get her panties out of a knot. Skipping the Gridiron Club dinner for a Leno makes me respect the Prez even more.

Better to spend time with a guy who knows he’s a comedian than with a group of retards who won’t admit they’re all ass clowns.

Captain Swing March 19, 2009 at 2:50 am

Ah yes, the dignity of High Office.OK, so President Obama is thoughtful, intelligent and articulate. But, as Mary Kate knows, it’s just not enough, is it? In order to bring a suitable tone to the Office, one has to have breeding. Only then can one display the qualities that truly make a nation proud.

Allow me to illustrate with a modest example from the vast George W Bush Archive:

The scene: An official dinner. The President of the United States of America requests a meeting with the Prime Minister of Great Britain- “Yo, Blair!”

Perhaps thinking for a moment that he was back home, summoning the waiter at the local Lone Star Steak House & Saloon, and that the British P.M. was the slacker who forgot to bring the Tabasco sauce… Now that’s how you bring dignity to High Office.

(Sigh…) Those were the days, eh Mary.
