Leno calls Rmoney Jed Clampett but calls W Jethro

[demtenjeep]

"Last week, presidential candidate Mitt Romney called himself a lifelong hunter. Turns out he's only hunted twice in his life. And, of course, both of those times were for Easter eggs. He said he hunts only small animals, like Jed Clampett did. Comparing himself to Jed Clampett? Is that a good idea? Anybody gonna want to vote for President Jed Clampett, especially after eight years of President Jethro?" --Jay Leno

1. Rmoney is more like Mr. Drysdale ...

more worried about Clampett's money than anything else ...

[Uncle Joe]

10. Precisely, the only reason Mitt Drysdale compared him self to Jedd Clampett is

because Rmoney's weakness was/is in the South.

[Tom Ripley]

11. Sonny Drysdale

my apologies to the great Louis Nye

[GoCubsGo]

15. Yep.

Sonny is a much better analogy.

2. I like Leno

First he is a Democrat and second is he is a motor head like myself, or used to be in my case. I hate working on a vehicles now.

3. If you had the wherewithal to hire his man

Bernard Juchli, to take care of the dirty work and heavy lifting, you'd be a happy patron of the motoring arts. Jay's collection is quite ecletic......

4. He always seemed kind of Repub to me.

I didn't know he was a Dem.

7. He's a dem

always has been

14. If he's a Dem, I'm an astronaut. nt

12. You seem to be forgetting Leno's enthusiastic endorsement of Ahhhh-nuld.

To the point of letting Ahhhh-nuld use his show as a platform to announce his candidacy.

Jay Leno is an opportunist, is what he is. The nicest person living in his house is Mavis Leno.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

5. Did Leno tell a Clinton-Monica joke right after that, just to keep things 'even' ?

[Fumesucker]

6. Rmoney is Thurston Howell III..

If we're going to go back to old sitcoms then Howell is a better fit..

[McSpocky]

8. Well done Jay!

Bush absolutely would have been Jethro. As for Romney and Jed Clampett, Jed seemed to have compassion... Romney does not.

[WI_DEM]

9. Actually bad comparison. Jed C on BH was a pretty upstanding man and smarter than

many of the city slickers. Money grubbing Drysdale woud be a better comparison.
