I meant we as in liberals, truth tellers, non cons.

I know lots of "us" dont like him, and I yell at him all the time, but the overall tone and show does do some good.

That is my opinion, based on how FEW chances truth tellers get on national TV.

But I respect opinions of others, for sure, on this, and I am talking about the show itself, not the ass himself. The show does give voice to resistance.
