UPDATE: More Weiner jokes from Leno.

Someone alert Jay Leno to the fact that Anthony Weiner is a DEMOCRAT.
From Leno's Monday monologue:
JAY LENO: Congressman Anthony Weiner finally spoke to the news media today. Apparently, he wanted to wait till his pants came back from the dry cleaners.
Well, to give him credit, he took full responsibility. He says, yes, that was his penis. He did send those photos.
(Audience boos)
Finally, a man taking responsibility for his own penis!
(Leno applauds)
There you go, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you.
I mean, with all this new media, is that considered junk e-mail or is it e-mail of your junk? There are so many terms.
I love the way... we have the economy, we have the war, but let's face it, we're all in 9th grade really.
And I love the way the media reports the story. They say this whole thing started when a lewd photo of a man's crotch was sent to one of Congressman Weiner's Twitter followers. Do they even have to say 'lewd.' I mean, are there tasteful photos of men's crotches?
I mean, it shows you how the political race has changed. Remember, it wasn't that long ago when candidates would ask each other, 'Where's the beef?' You can't ask that now.
And I love this. And the chairman of the New York Republican Party, Ed Cox, said that he will use these pictures to help defeat Anthony Weiner. So, now we have Cox versus Weiner. You know, it doesn't stop. It doesn't stop. It's awful. It's awful.
I don't think Congressman Weiner learned his lesson. Did you see him leaving the press conference? Look at the car he drives. Look, here he is leaving. Look at that. You see? Right there, right there. Dead giveaway.
Leno gets credit for beginning his monologue with this string of jokes related to Anthony Weiner.
However, not once did Leno mention that Weiner is a DEMOCRAT. Not once. Considering Leno is quick to mention the party affiliation of Republican politicians caught up in scandal, I don't believe the failure to mention that Weiner is a DEMOCRAT was unintentional.
Also, much of the material wasn't directed at Weiner and what he did. Leno took a number of general shots at the media, the public, and politics rather than being rough on Weiner's specific wrongdoing.
Furthermore, directly after the Weiner jokes, Leno launched into a lengthy series of Sarah Palin jokes, followed by jokes attacking FOX News.
More of the monologue was devoted to bashing Palin and FOX than Weiner.
When Leno's guest, Katie Couric, made her appearance, she did her usual slew of Sarah Palin insults. That gave Leno the opportunity to mock Palin again.
Even when there is a major scandal involving a DEMOCRAT with major developments in the story occurring that day, and it lends itself to comedy, Hollywood and media Leftists prefer to focus their attacks on conservatives.
Go figure.

What difference does it make whether he's a Democrat or not? Looking over the recent embarrassments and scandals we can say comfortably that male stupidity is bipartisan. Unless you want to argue - nonsensically - that, inherently, one party is more moral than the other. Good luck with that.
The point is Leno never fails to label Republicans caught in scandal. He stresses their Republican status.
It happens in the media as well. When a scandal is reported, they don't emphasize the party affiliation of the politician if he or she is a Dem.
I'm highlighting the bias.
Leno's one thing - don't watch him that much (sleep is important), but I can't recall ever being in doubt reading the journals - WSJ, NYTimes, etc. - as to the party of the offender/accused. We look for bias where we believe we'll find it (base on our political "beliefs.") That's why I don't watch FOX or Rachel Maddow; I'm not interested in ideological spin, either way. It's sad, though, that facts seem to matter less and less in our political life, making useful solutions less likely. It's more like watching a playground fight.
If you're not interested in ideological spin, I suppose you don't watch Obama's speeches and news conferences either.
Ignorance may be bliss but it can be dangerous.
I watch all the Presidents , Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama - they all spin, and sometimes it's ideological. This is hardly news, or are you suggesting that only Democrats do ideological spin. My experience is that most politicians, of both parties, especially at the national level, spin frequently - just listen to them. Ignorance, I would submit, is swallowing any of it, from the right or left, without fact-checking in some reliable journals.
