When Obama was on the Tonight Show, he got a laugh from the audience when he said this:
JAY LENO: Now, have you been watching the GOP debates?
OBAMA: I'm going to wait until everybody is voted off the island before --
(Applause, laughter)
Once they narrow it down to one or two, I'll start paying attention.
Did Obama's people steal Dennis Miller's line, "voted off the island"?Did they feed Obama Miller's joke? Did Leno's writers share it with Obama?
Video.
I think Miller is probably right. It's kind of an obvious line and it wouldn't be a stretch for others to come up with the same thought on their own. As Miller said, even Joe Biden could figure out that one.
Still, the way Obama echoes Miller is kind of funny .
Miller makes a good point when he says that it's not the possibility of Obama stealing a joke that concerns him. It's the real stealing - Solyndra, etc. - that bothers him.
