The Late Night with Jimmy Fallon assault on Mitt Romney continues.
David Gregory was Fallon's guest on Wednesday.
Late Night is getting way too political.
Of course, David Letterman has been a Leftist hack for well over a decade.
Jay Leno no longer pretends to be on the fence politically. He's officially on Team Obama.
Fallon's show had steered clear of political discussion. How refreshing! How entertaining!
That's over.
The show is now just another platform for pushing the Democrats' agenda and trashing Republicans, like the other late night shows.
Entertainment takes a backseat to campaigning for Obama.
It was a relatively brief segment with David Gregory, but not brief enough.
No surprise, Gregory and Fallon took shots at Romney and Republicans. They said nothing remotely negative about Obama, absolutely nothing.
Fallon's first question for Gregory, his major emphasis, was about last Sunday's Meet the Press and Mitt Romney's comments about health care.
JIMMY FALLON: Let's talk about Meet the Press. This last Sunday, was all over the world. It was like crazy quotes because Mitt Romney misspoke, should I say?
DAVID GREGORY: Well, I mean, I don't know if he misspoke or not. He certainly did make a lot of news. We asked him a lot of detailed questions. We've been trying to get him on the program for a long time. One of the things that came up is, you know, that he wouldn't completely throw out ObamaCare out the window, which is what he's been preparing to do, promising to do.
FALLON: That was weird.
GREGORY: So that raised a lot of eyebrows.
FALLON: He was like, 'I won't throw all of it away. I like some of the things.'
GREGORY: I do think part of it was that he wanted to appear to be a more middle-of-the-road candidate. I think he's under a lot of pressure right now, still trying to deal with the base but also realizing there's a small band of swing voters who are gonna make up their minds and they're really hungry for people who are gonna make Washington work a little bit better.
...
FALLON: It feels like the GOP, for me, like I don't know if they are really embracing Mitt. Like, 'Oh, he's our right choice. He's the...'
GREGORY: You know, there's still a feeling, after the convention I talked to a Republican who said 'You know, I feel like Republicans are really starting to warm up to Romney.' And the problem with that...
FALLON: At this point, you gotta be warm, man. You gotta be hot.
GREGORY: Right. Exactly. And I think this is the problem. You know, this was a Massachusetts moderate who championed abortion rights until he changed his mind, and universal health care, and then he campaigned as a severe conservative. So, he's still sort of a little bit at a war with himself about how he manages what I think is a much more pragmatic streak as somebody, how he would govern, with you know, all the demands from the Republican party.
"Severe conservative"?
No mention of Obama being a "severe liberal."
There was also no mention of the crisis in the Middle East. It was as though the show was taped on September 10th.
They went on to talk about President George W. Bush staying out of the spotlight.
Fallon mentioned Bill Clinton being at the DNC and his rave reviews "from everybody," and wanted to know, "Where's my man, George W. Bush?"
Gregory said Bush is done, eight years was enough. Fallon responded, "He's hiding out?"
Gregory does his Bush impression every chance he gets.
They went on to mock Bush's endorsement of Romney, made as elevator doors were closing.
It's incredible that the two would talk politics and leave Obama, the president, out of the discussion.
How is that possible?
I really can't stand all the partisan political crap being pushed on Fallon's show.
