Maybe Leno Could Hire Some North Korean Writers To Help His Material

HuffPo has it that Jay had all the charm of an oil rig explosion at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Maybe he didn’t want to go down the Colbert of Sykes roads, as the article notes.

Or maybe he needed to water the material down, so as not to upstage President Thin Skin. That’s my guess. In German, it might be called a sichselbstunterdenbuswerfen, a throwing of the self under the bus.

Via Digg, this blog has located some North Korean humor that might help Leno out:

At High School No. 1 in Pyongyang, a girl brags to her teacher about the cat she’s got at home: “Our cat has just given birth to seven kittens. All of them just stick close to their mother, they feel really comfortable, and sleep all the time. They’re all true communists.”

A few days later, the teacher asks the girl: “Are the communist kittens at home growing up nicely?”

The girl says: “Comrade teacher, big trouble! They’ve all opened their eyes, and they’ve all renounced communism!”

Hope that helps, Jay.

    Someone posted a video of Obama and Leno that I tried to watch. Obama stunk up the house and was frankly putting me to sleep. I fast forwarded to Leno and he was lackluster and equally as bad.
