"Now, some have said I blame too many problems on my predecessor, but let's not forget that's a practice that was initiated by George W. Bush."

Remember how Cheny-Bush blamed Clinton for their failure on 9-11?

I know the person that did that. The shrub team blew up at the practical joke and in true wrong wing fashion exaggerated the "damage" and "vandalism" in the press.

surprisingly, Fox was the only media outlet that apologized for the error. Of course, they also ran a lot more stories of the "scandal" than everybody else....

I think John Wilkes Booth was innocent. I don't even think it was an assassination. I believe that Abraham Lincoln had a vision of what the Republican Party would become in 150 years, and he shot himself. Is the Fox table laughing, or did Rupert Murdoch hack into all my jokes already?"

how he ended his time with a shout out to his history teacher. Evidently the teacher
believed Kimmel wouldn't have much of a future if he did not shape up.

I'm going to high five the POTUS right now Kimmel said, and then added, " eat it" to his
former teacher. lol

"You can't have a beer with (Mitt Romney), because he doesn't drink. You can't have a cup of coffee with him, because he can't have caffeine. You can't even play Monopoly with him because he keeps trying to put the dog on the car."

the guy that gets unmasked at the end of every Scooby Doo episode. When I heard him say "mask" - I was thinking it was going to be a KKK joke or something.
