Now he might seem less bad because he's being compared to Trump, but he's bad. You only have to look at the people he hired and surrounded himself with.

Kind of like when Jimmy Kimmel ruffled Trump's hair.

We need to look down in the grass for our heroes. Down in the roots. Or look for the hero within.

That was Jimmy Fallon, as I recall.

You are right about his fascination with Michelle, and her allowing it with a smile tells of her noble character. He has displayed a lot of strange and inappropriate, childlike behavior since leaving office. I think mental decline is on display...

His over the top excitement with every guest is hard to watch. Too manic.

Kimmel is much better as a host and interviewer. I sometimes call him Jiminy Kimble, as he so often gives moral lessons and appeals to conscience

That said, we watch Colbert, then Seth. The writing is so good, and more sharply satirical. Cuts through the noise better for me.

Believe me, I know. I spent one year at that school where Bush went. that was enough. I absolutely HATED it. I hear he had a great time. That told me 90% of what I needed to know about Bush Lite. Kavanawful went to school at a snotty prep school down the road from where I spent my first two years of high school. That pretty much told me all I needed to know about him, too.

He had a Dwi come out before the 2000 election. Then SCOTUS robbed Gore of the election. Kavanaugh and him are probably drinking buddies. It's amazing how interrelated all these guys are.

Both my husband and I hate him with a passion. I normally don't use the word hate, but for thousands of people who died because of him, the word hate is appropriate.

I forget what it was. He clearly was pushing for Kavanaugh. He must be a personal friend.

But he is so much older than Kavanaugh, that I'd think them being drinking buddies is probably not it. But that's interesting...both of them having had a drinking problem.

Collins has to make the decision and she must be the one held accountable, no matter what Pretzledent did. And I hope the good people of Maine hold her accountable in 2020.
