Kathie over at the afl found this nugget from abcnews.com, September 4, 2008:
http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/story?id=5719503&page=1 Among the jokes told then (which received zero outrage): "Gov.

Now he has really done it." -- "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," 9/2/08 Dave's sin was replacing Edwards' name with Rodriguez's and repeating the joke 9 months too late.
