Newark Mayor Cory Booker Outraged By Shoddy Tonight Show Bit
Newark Mayor Cory Booker, upset by a recent Conan O'Brien quip making fun of his city, has responded with a video. It's humorous enough, I guess, but I think we're all ignoring the real crime here: "A bus ticket out of Newark" is maybe one of the hackiest jokes possible. Where's the outrage about that? Also, if you have a chance, watch "Brick City," it's great.
You can take Leno out of the Tonight Show but you can't take the Leno out of the Tonight Show.
Needs less video. (Agree on "Brick City.")
I wish I had a principal that loved me (and flexed his muscles) like Ras Baraka.
Wait what. Didn't you see Conan DESTROY him last night again?

I wrote my thesis about Newark!
Fortunately for Conan, he can probably circumvent the mayor's order by taking a flight out of the part of EWR that's in stinky Elizabeth. I have to assume that's out of the Book-Man's jurisdiction.
I take full credit for this. http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/10/in_cory_booker_media_feud_cona.html
