Of course, he does have his show to think about...pissing off democrats too badly could discourage guest appearances.

being nonpartisan doesn't exclude opposing the Jr. Administration's anti-American and outright treasonous policies. The reason he didn't name any D.I.N.O. because he blames the entire party, as do I.

You republicans haven't shit to smile about, however, becuase you cretins gave us this fuckup in a suit named Jr.

Compliment to the D.I.N.O.'s? How closely were to you reading that? He came right out and says they're enablers of the extremist right wing.

He DID blame the Democratic Congress.
What more do you wish for him to do?

Of course, he does have his show to think about...pissing off democrats too badly could discourage guest appearances.

Having known a famous screenwriter I can tell you that writers are the lowest paid in Hollywood. They deserve their cut especially since all the others rake in millions and writers do not even come close to getting what they deserve.
