Exactly. I just wish Huckabee hadn't said he supported the strike.
BTW, before Leno took over from Johnny Carson, he was a regular guest in the Tonight Show and did his own stand-up act. At the time I think he was pretty big in Vegas and did all his own stuff. And I thought he was pretty funny. So why does he need a whole staff of writers to do a three minute monologue each night?
