Why Jay Leno Smokes David Letterman

Jay Leno is a funny guy. He has a nice family. He doesn't ram his politics down his viewers' throats. He's creative. And he makes his guests look good. David Letterman is not funny. The only thing I know about his family is he has a girlfriend, a baby and a bunch of mistresses that he "Tiger Woodsed" in the Ed Sullivan (er did they rename it the Bernie Kerick room yet?) room. He is rabidly liberal in his politics and he lets his viewers know it. He's not that creative (a top ten list, stupid pet tricks, that's about it). He makes his guests look bad.

Whether he is gawking down some actress's shirt, getting them to talk about how promiscuous they are or whether he is baiting the hook for Mitt Romney with a Sarah Palin question, David Letterman has an agenda and it's not comedy. He wasn't funny before Sarah Palin and he sure as hell ain't funny now.

David Letterman did Mitt Romney a disservice. He had the former Massachusetts governor drone on and on about policy, while at the same time over at NBC, Sarah Palin was bringing the house down with hand jokes. When Leno went to commercial, Romney was talking about politics. When Palin finished her monologue and you switched back over to Letterman during the next commercial, Romney was still talking about politics.

This is not a knock on Romney. It's not the guest's fault; it's the host's fault. Romney was great yesterday. He was on Sean Hannity's radio and television show where he cracked it deep over the center field fence talking about American exceptionalism. Romney was pretty much right about all the political stuff he was saying, so nothing wrong there.

But, sadly for you, David Letterman, the best part about knowing you will never have Sarah Palin on your show ever is that the best moment of a 20 minute interview with Mitt Romney is the part where you talk about Sarah Palin.

It's the only time Letterman made Romney look good. And at the same time, it made Letterman look bad.

Romney warned Letterman not to mess with Sarah Palin. "You know she has a rifle," the Mittster said.

What was the highlight of Leno? Sarah Palin. What was the highlight of Letterman? Sarah Palin.

Nice going, David. You get Sarah Palin's rival for 2012 to make Sarah Palin look good while he at the same time turns the rifle back on you! David Letterman wanted to pit Romney against Palin to stick it to Leno. But it backfired.

Someone needs to tell CBS that Conan's available. David Letterman sucks.
