1. My guess is Jimmy Kimmel emerges stronger

and while he may not be bridled his show will be see a little more oversight from the legal department.

2. I sure hope not, but I fear you're right - though he did nothing wrong to begin with, he told jokes!

3. When you expose the morally superior and roil the hypocrites

you can expect pushback. In the deep alt 1960s many films were censored for implied sexuality, extramarital activities, risque attire. I mean censored - in local cinemas, films seized by the police, and many a court upheld the verdict.

Making the pompous look ridiculous is a Scarlet Letter sin!!

4. Disney chose money, not patriotism.

money changes everything.
