Okay frankly...I don't care if people approve of Conan O'Brien over Jay Leno...Like I have said to each their own taste....but this article published in the Wall Street Journal by a comic known as Joe Queenan made a comparison of Jay Leno to Adolf Hitler....several times in the article.

.If Jay Leno is like Hitler than consider me Attila the Hun :roll:

Ah....the classic Hitler comparison. Its what many Americans do when they can't win a fight and got nothing of real importance to say. Comparing anyone you disagree with to a man who sought to exterminate much of the human race....sure let's compare that to Jay Leno, or your neighbor, or the President, or the cops, etc.

This video sums it up quite well.

On the whole Conan and Leno thing....
I never liked either of them a whole lot. But after all this, I do feel Conan got the short end of the stick very wrongly. He got the show and Jay's was failing, that's not Conan's fault and he shouldn't have been booted for it. And its because of simply a matter of principle, I'll never likely watch Jay Leno again. Leno is very rich, he didn't NEED that job. The way he and NBC pulled the rug from under Conan was a very poor business move IMO.
