Leno: AP replaces “illegal immigrant” with “undocumented Democrat”. Jay Leno is the closest thing to reality at NBC – no wonder they want to get rid of him. [Video at the link.]

  • If that were a joke, and if it were say, FIVE YEARS AGO, it might have been a knee-slapper. As it is it makes Leno sound like an old fuddy-duddy. Is Milton Berle still alive? No matter - he would be funnier than Leno dead..

  • Political correctness run a muck. I bet one of "Dear Leader's" fawning bootlicking admirers at the National Bullshit Company soiled his pants when Leno said that. I guess the truth really hurts when you're that stupid.

  • Undocumented democrat, my butt.

    We also now call terrorists contingents.

    The constitution gaurantees rights, but ONLY does so to U.S. citizens.

    Interpreting the law as being in FAVOR of illegal immigrants is not AGAINST the constitution. it's FOLLOWING the constitution verbatim.

    In fact, allowing them, for instance, drivers' licenses, IS AGAINST the constitution.

    People always try to find politically correct terms. There are soooo many, I tend to lose track.

    Some things are just what they are. People are stupid to try to candy-coat the truth.

    Just call things as they are.

    If you put granulated sugar and butter on top of donkey crap, it's STILL donkey crap. No matter, HOW much sweetener is on it and HOW luscious it is on the top, it does NOT change the fact, it's STILL manure.

    Same case scenario: no matter WHAT you call someone who's here illegally, it does NOT change the fact they ARE in fact, ILLEGAL.

    It's simply prettifying words as to not offend people who are too sensitive.

    Drives me nuts.

  • I guess "Libertarians" would be "exiled Republicans" then considering what happened at the RNC last year.

  • You did catch that it is actually true that AP has announced it is dropping the term, right?

  • The Associated Press should replace the phrase "news" and use the term "propaganda".

    I hate the media.

  • What's undocumented about them? They keep trying to give them drivers licenses with out the 'non-citizen' qualification that people following the legal course of immigration have on their licenses.

    It's like the US is the Titanic and Barry and the press is telling us that the stern rising up is a good sign because the 1% are going down and raising up the rest of us. Get ready for the cold chill of complete collapse.
