Philip Klein: The Government Shouldn't Police Jimmy Kimmel's Lies

ALRIGHT GODDAMNIT YOU NEVER LET US HAVE ANY FUN.

   And, to hear some of my "progressive" friends tell it, we're also not permitted to "cancel" Kimmel by writing angry letters to ABC...or...CBS...or...whoever the hell it is. I don't know because the guy isn't funny and I've rarely ever seen the show.

   I mean...he's not Colbert levels of not funny...but he's still not funny....

   Anyway, I didn't really understand the situation. Klein seems right to me.

   Dammit.

   Trump keeps going farther and farther over the line. Now he's like a rogue Jaeger not only pounding the hell out of the leftist Kaiju, but wrecking the city more-or-less indiscriminately as well.

   Look, the left deserves absolutely everything its getting and then some--we have not yet begun to rain down the vengeance on them that they deserve...but...well...we can't dole out all the vengeance they deserve without becoming too much like them.

   I'm not arguing for perfect scrupulosity...that's how they win--they constantly break the rules and wreck the system...and break the rules to wreck the system. I favor something like: go a little too far in some cases to let them know we're willing to do it--willing to play their game. Let them know that we're not going to fight with the gloves on forever...but pull back before doing irreparable harm to said system.

   Something like that I guess.
