Sasha, take your own advice and ignore Barbarella. You may be too young to remember the first Jane Fonda iteration, but I'm not. And she's not "worth it" either.
...unfortunately, in the greater context ... there are women tonight who are the *expectant widows* ... they sit by the beds of their loved ones in hospice and that *glow* is exhaustion... fear ... and grief ... Kimmel chooses to dehumanize not only the First Lady but those women as well ... it is contemptible ...
This ‘joke’ crossed the line and Melania is right to call out ABC/Disney. These media people have repeatedly lied and targeted Trump family and conservatives. Kimmel and Colbert have pushed hateful rhetoric as ‘jokes’ for ten years. Enough is enough. They and Dem politicians are responsible for these lunatics carrying out these acts of violence.
Kimmel a cheap punk. Always has been since his shtick was asking young women to feel what was in his pants. In a way he was Epstein before Epstein. Leave him behind with the rest of the trash in your wake, Mr. President. We've ignored Kimmel for years.
Trump gave a pretty good answer when asked about the Cole Allen "manifesto" by Norah O’Donnell on 60 Minutes, but it was the wrong answer. The right answer would have been something like: "Why is 60 Minutes asking me about the rantings of a guy too dumb to realize he can't get past dozens of police to even reach the escalator leading down to the ballroom?"
...in what alternate universe would O'Donnell sit with a victim of a crime and ask the victim to explain the rationale of the perpetrator of the crime? ...
First Colbert. Next is Kimmel. The sponsors are wasting their money. Reruns of Walker, Texas Ranger would clean their clock. Owned by CBS, they can put that on as early as July when Colbert ends his overpaid, boring show.
My dream: Baron happens to see Kimmel out in public, a nightclub, a party, a Whole Foods and walks up and introduces himself. Baron then slaps Kimmel so "country boy hard", Kimmel's eyes water and his face turns red as the people watch and stare and whisper. Baron turns and walks off.
DJT should stop punching downward; forget about people like this. Kimmel’s just an unfunny dick. Stop elevating lowlifes.
I have been disliking this guy for a long time. I’m tired of political militants pretending to be comedians. Thank you Sasha.

Barbarella was HOT!! Way before I knew who F’d up she is
Brian, “pretty is as pretty does.” Your mom probably told you that and you just forgot! 😂
That makes no sense at all. Pretty is an adjective, not a noun. But you probably don’t know the difference. You must have heard that from your mom.
Jimmy Kimmel is utterly irrelevant and definitely NOT funny. Disney/ABC are pathetic corporate cowards. F- them all!
You put out a fire by starving it of oxygen or cooling it down, not by pouring gasoline on it.
Are you right? Of course. Trump should ignore him. But I am so deeply angry about this particular joke. It is completely offensive.

I didn't even think of that, quark - you're so right. It's even worse than I realized.
Well said! Thank you.

Always right on the mark- great piece
One of your absolute best articles among so many superb articles ...

The joke wasn't about Trump, the joke was on his wife. I'll say it. In a righteous world, that would result in a quiet and private ass-whipping.
I fired Kimmel a long time ago.

The Donald should, as hard as it might be, needs to let it go. Let those fools show what disregarded imbeciles they actually are.

Boycott DIsney, ESPN and ABC and anyone that advertises on those outlets. There is only one thing they care about folks stop giving it too them.
