The ousted Current TV host was not amused by Kimmel's jokes; compares him to Bill O'Reilly.

Jimmy Kimmel's half-hour speech at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner Saturday evening had a few targets -- Kim Kardashian, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Newt Gingrich, Lindsay Lohan and Mitt Romney, to name a few -- but it seems not everyone can take a joke.

[SJSAMPLE]

Anyone remember when the PRESIDENT used to be the major target of skewers at the dinner? Not since Obammie took office. Now they go after everybody else.

"WORST UNEMPLOYED FAR LEFT TV EX-PERSONALITY IN THE WORLD!!!"

[Savage Beast]

"No need for Olbermann's image on a milk carton just yet."

No.

Nor Jimmy Kimmel either.

But speaking of that--I know this is changing the subject, but--what does Desaparecido mean in English?

[ConservativeStatement]

Disappeared?

[nerdwithagun]

“used to” thank God. I don't mind Kimmel, I think he is funny and somewhat fair despite some of his left of center views. I'm with SJSAMPLE, I thought these things were supposed to have a ideologically opposed person to the Pres making jokes.

[Verginius Rufus]

Desaparecido means "missing person" (from desaparecer "to disappear").

I liked Kimmel’s: “There’s a term for President Obama...but probably not two.”

"but it seems not everyone can take a joke"

KO IS a joke. And I can't take him.

[jmax]

This guy still amazes me. He’s 50 years old, and to this day still pees in his pants under his ‘news’ desk where a charwoman or janitor has to clean up after each show. Here he is, all these years after graduating from Cornell University’s School of K-9 Obedience and Training with a degree in broadcasting, yet he himself has not successfully been potty-trained.

[Savage Beast]

Oh.

Thanks.

So what on earth does it have to do with Jimmy Kimmel???

[Verginius Rufus]

I have no idea—I didn’t listen to Jimmy Kimmel’s performance. There were a couple of brief clips on Fox News today but nothing, or at least nothing memorable, from Kimmel.

KO is such a bore... I have no idea why the left thinks he is such a special guy...

Which left? He just got fired by Al Gore and publicly trashed by Jimmy Kimmel.

Click the link. The Republic you save may be your own.

Olbermann vs. Kimmel? I don't have a dog in this fight ...

Of course you don't. Because it's a...

The moon bats who inhabit the bowels of nuttery at Huffington post and DU love the guy...

[ConservativeStatement]

That I do not know. I arrived late to this bash and don’t know much about Kimmel. Maybe someone else knows.

[apocalypto]

iirc, Kimmel had B. Obama on his show recently, basically promoted the president.

[Fightin Whitey]

lol!

I’ve had those days too.

And in Idaho no less!

Hang in there brother...
