Did Jay Leno just ask Rather about Ron Paul?

[Johncjackson]

Anyone else see that?

( I often hear "Ron Paul" on my TV in the background, and I always wonder if I'm just hearing things because of the whole "blackout", but usually my hearing is right and Ron Paul gets these random mentions with guests, like on Carson Daly)

 

[yanksforpaul]

Yep, Rather said "he's a Texan to the core", whatever that means

 

[jpwilhelm]

yep, asking him to associate words with the people he says and he said Ron Paul as the last person. I think Jay likes Ron Paul.

 

[Fulorian]

Dan Rather is a Texan... I can't see how that can be an insult.

 

[roflwofl89]

Any reason he asked Rather that?? I do not believe he asked about any other candidates but I may have caught it late

 

[Johncjackson]

Ok, cool. It wasn't a bad thing, at worst neutral. I mean isn't Dan Rather also a Texan?

 

[fuzzybekool]

Yep, Rather said "he's a Texan to the core", whatever that means

WoW ! That was the first Ron Paul uttered I have heard all day on the tube.

Jay Leno is The Billionaire, lol.

I used to hate Jay Leno, but since he had Paul on a couple times..he's okay in my book now.

 

[damoncrowe]

Leno seems like the kinda' guy that would respect Ron Paul. I mean he makes his money poking fun at the absurdities of politicians and what is there really to rib Paul about, Really?

 

[mexicanpizza]

Jay is a super nice guy.

 

[Fields]

I like leno's cars.

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Paul was also the subject of the fake headline that precedes 'headlines'. I believe it said:

"Giants Win Gives Ron Paul Hope"

 

[Fulorian]

Jay has been extremely good to us. Fox screws Paul over, and Leno evens out the field... hints at him occasionally, gets him on his show twice. I'm gonna say Leno is our friend.

I was watching Bill Maher last night and they were talking about Iraq and the cause of terrorism. Bill used Ron Paul's argument against foreign interventionism and the root cause of those problems to a "T" - I'm pretty sure he was quoting part of it. But he never brought up Paul's name. He had Frank Lutz on too and made him pretty uncomfortable.

The rest of the day absolutely no mention on any news channel, except C-SPAN. About half of the networks represented it as a 2 way race between McCain and Romney and the rest included Paul. I guess they want people to think he dropped out.

Be sure to get a yard sign, at least, in front of EVERY precinct we can early tomorrow!

Good Morning America is having a rally, though and we are invited. So are all the other candidates.

Jay told him to say the first thing that comes to mind when he says a persons name, and then he said in this order George Bush, Bill Clinton, Eli Manning, Fidel Castro, the Dalai Lama, Katie Couric, and then Ron Paul

 

[ronpauleddy]

Maybe Leno is the billionaire and Rather is the "actor" and this was an inside joke between the 2!!
VERY POSSIBLE!!
who else would know all the dirty media secrets better than Dan the MAN!!

HERE IS TO HOPING!! LOL

I was watching Bill Maher last night and they were talking about Iraq and the cause of terrorism. Bill used Ron Paul's argument against foreign interventionism and the root cause of those problems to a "T" -

I saw this. The one part of the equation Maher still does not get is Israel. Clarence Page stumped Bill when he mentioned Israel. Bill also showed his ignorance about the Israel issue when Michael Scheuer was a guest on Real Time.

yup same here... I hear what sound slike ROn Paul sometimes it is sometimes it isnt eh

Leno = awesome

When Ron was excluded from the debate by FOX, Leno gave him time that was saw by WAAAAAAY more viewers.

Jay Leno also was nice and fair to Ron Paul and it was a decent interview....so he gets a HUGE thumbs up in my book....to even have him on TWICE is saying something.
