It seems he&#8217;s not fitting in so well in his new time slot, and Jay Leno&#8217;s older viewers care more to switch over to Letterman.</p>

Ellen Tauscher moves</a> to the State Department to be President Obama&#8217;s Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, <a href="http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/04/iraq-veteran-to-take-lead-on-dont-ask-dont-tell-repeal.php">Talking Points Memo reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;There&#8217;s major symbolic significance to that move. Murphy is a member of the House Armed Services Committee and, more importantly, a Bronze Star winner and the first Iraq war veteran to serve in Congress.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>You may remember him from the Don&#8217;t Ask Don&#8217;t Tell hearings in July of 2008 where he completely and utterly owned Elaine Donnelly.</p>
