Leno Show: Mama McCain Disses Rush, Shakes Yusuf Islam’s Hand; UPDATE: Video Added
By Debbie Schlussel
Yesterday, I told you about B-list Hollywood gushing over Yusuf Islam a/k/a Cat Stevens at an L.A. concert. I told you he’d be appearing on TV with Jay Leno and several others. Apparently, the Leno appearance was last night.
And I’ve gotten several rightfully angry reports from readers about HAMAS money-mule, Rushdie death-fatwah supporter, and anti-Semitic pamphlet author Yusuf Islam‘s appearance on last night’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”
I did not see the show, but it appears that John McCain’s mother doesn’t like Rush Limbaugh, while she likes a pan-terrorist HAMAS financier instead.
Reader Rich:
I didn’t stay up tonight to see his performance, but Yusuf Islam was a guest on Jay Leno’s show. I thought it was very interesting that in the show’s opening, John Melendez announced him as only “Yusuf” and didn’t include the “Islam” part. I kind of wished that I had stayed up to see if Leno himself referred to his entire name of Yusuf Islam.
You know–we can’t know he’s a Muslim. Must sanitize him.
Reader “D”:
Just what the left wants, John McCain’s mother insulting Rush and then shaking the hand of Yusuf Islam AKA cat Stevens right after he performed. Nauseating!
Leno asked her about the Republican Party and who she likes on the right and left, and then follow up with a Rush Limbaugh question he knew what her reaction would be.
I think Leno wanted to pile on the Republicans a bit and used Mrs. McCain the way her Granddaughter Megan let herself be used in a similar manner.
Not sure why Roberta Wright McCain–who is in her mid-90s–is a guest on “The Tonight Show.” She was a cute act, when her 70-something son was running for Prez. But now that it’s over, it’s like having the “Where’s the Beef?” lady (the late Clara Peller) on your show. Old news. And who cares? The only thing noteworthy here is that the McCains are spoiled people who don’t appreciate the help that Limbaugh gave them when millions of his listeners were reluctant to go the polls to vote for the “moderate” John Sidney McCain.
So to sum up, Granny McCain’s worldview:
* Conservative, entertaining radio talk show host who convinced millions of reluctant people to vote for her wishy-washy son . . . bad;
* Terrorist financier (who traveled to Israel to give $ to HAMAS) and avowed anti-Semite, who supports death sentences for anti-Islamic speech . . . like way totally awesome!!!
Now, we know where granddaughter Meghan gets her scintillating wisdom.
Did you notice in the opening credits that Islam was referred to simply as “Yusuf”?
