Joe, why the hell are you doing this ?

For that racist schmuck, Zimmerman ?

Do you miss the camera that much?

O'Donnell said he thought it was inexplicable that Oliver would quit his job and go all over the place, making TV appearances, etc. on Zimmerman's behalf when he really barely knows the guy.

Something smells funny.

Just sayin....got no issue with someones sexual choices, just trying to think of an explanation that makes sense that someone like Joe would put himself out there and defend him so, claim they are close friends etc....

But as I posted in another thread, there really are only a few real motivating reasons for someone to go out on a limb (and quit their Job!) which are 1) Money; 2) Sex; 3) Love and 4) Fame;

There are more reasons, but those are the ones that make people do things they might not do under regular circumstances.....

Why is Oliver going out of his way for someone he doesn't know that well? And why was Oliver so defensive when O'Donnell asked him if he worked with Zimmerman? He couldn't just explain it and said he supposed O'Donnell already had that information.
