From the tidbits I've read, he said NOTHING even remotely out of line. The same with Matthew Dowd.

Disgusting beyond belief. I'm about to check to see if we subscribe to Disney... if so I'm cancelling. There needs to be pushback.

Beyond that, Jimmy is also the name of our 50-year old African Grey Parrot, and she's a big supporter of most Jimmys. She was also a huge supporter of 'Birdie' Sanders (I know, I know... but that's what she heard).

He may be overseas cavorting with the Royals, but somebody told him and he was delighted. The thing is, they are comedians, they tell jokes and make fun of current events, that's their job! And we know that they're all friends after the 5 of them (including John Oliver) after they all got together during the writers' strike for their podcast Strike Force Five to support their out-of-work staffs.

The late night comedy hosts are my favorites, they help keep me sane during these stressful times. I post Colbert and Seth Meyers and my co-host TexasTowelie posts Jimmy Kimmel and The Daily Show. I figure that we need all the comedy we can get these days...

And, if you remember, TFG already sued Bill Maher.
