On last night's Jay Leno, Wanda Sykes was a guest. He asked her for her opinion on the Katrina debacle.

She said, 'I don't blame the president. I blame the American people. Hey, they knew the president was slow when they elected him. Hell, you can't blame a blind man for wrecking your car when you're the one who gave him the keys.'

The camera stayed on her- I would have loved to see Leno's face. The audience responded but rather cautiously, I thought. It always surprises me but it seems to me that most of the audiences that Jay Leno attracts are pretty red-stateish.
