To widen the conversation, would similarly themed play-on music for non-political candidates make a difference for anyone in the conversation? The coverage of this incident has included some notes about other cases. The one political incident was when Branford Marsalis opted for "So What?" when Ross Perot visited Jay. I believe ?uestlove had opted for "Da Butt" for Serena Williams. Not necessarily rude, as I don't know how Ms. Williams feels about it. Playing "Loser" for the celebrity trainwreck of Heidi and Spencer is arguably of a kind with "Lyin' Ass Bitch"
Cutting to the chase - Is it the "Lyin'", the "Bitch", the tone, the office, or the whole thing that matters here? Donz, has Paul ever been considered to cross the line in his selections? While I'm sure the other late night bandleaders put some thought into the tunes for their guests (depending on their clearance budget - Jimmy Vivino probably doesn't worry about this), it seems that only Shaffer and ?uestlove go to the lengths they have.

Yeah, she shouldn't have been a guest in the first place. Since she was, you treat her as a guest. That doesn't mean you can't ask hard questions, but it does mean that you don't call them a lying bitch in any form. You can disagree with distasteful people without being distasteful yourself. -- +++++++++++++++ Joe Coughlin http://www.twitter.com/inturnaround -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
