politically astute political observer in my opinion.

If they were a "mouth piece" for the Democratic party, they sure did a piss poor job of it in 2016 and 2024.

and as far as Maher's comment that Jimmy's observation about the political leanings of the killer of Kirk was wrong, "according to Maher", the only thing that comment did was dilute the point Maher thought he was making. That is that Jimmy had every right to say what he wanted whether it was accurate or not, and that wasn't even the excuse why the nazis decided to fire him. The excuse they used was that he was "insensitive". That is bullshit. He wasn't particularly insensitive. You want insensitive, that was the reason Maher got his ass fired, because after 5000 Americans were killed by terrorists, he quipped that the terrorists were brave on that "suicide mission" of theirs. That didn't even close to the level of insensitivity that Maher's comment was.


If you want to hear a good commentary filled with biting satire, exposing the exaggeration and stupidity of those trying to silence Kimmel, Colbert's comments were priceless.
