NANNY NY POST: "Say you're SORRY, Jimmy Kimmel!" Jimmy Fallon did.

Christ. (Is that ok to say? I've had religous fanatics on Twitter mournfully tell me I shouldn't take The Lord's name in vain because it upsets them.)

I'll say it again, CHRIST! As in Jesus F.

Or to quote (or paraphrase -- I'm not in the mood to look it up) Lily Tomlin: "No matter how cynical you are, you can never keep up."

Every day there's more over-sensitive bullshit involving comedians who either ARE being offensive or WERE offensive years ago and must APOLOGIZE for it. Or die. Or never work again. Get the CANCEL across the forehead. Be forever un-WOKE. Go bunk with Kevin Spacey.

What NOW?

I have NO Jimmy in this race. It's not like I watch Kimmel and so I think people should leave him alone. It's not like I watch Fallon and think he's a hero. I don't watch EITHER of them.

Jimmy crack jokes and I don't care.

If Kimmel wants to disappear until the heat is off, that's a good strategy, it's not being a "coward." Bill Maher didn't bother to address some has-been actress who whined that he made a suggestive remark to her. People didn't give a damn anyway (the actress in question has made a career out of bitching about rude guys, because nobody wants to see her being a bitch in movies anymore.) Wait a day, and the howling mob with woke pitchforks and "CANCEL" and "RIP" written on their torches, move on to bully somebody else.

Kimmel certainly wouldn't impersonate a black celebrity TODAY. Not when there's riots and looting every day. He gets it: VIOLENCE WORKS. He's also not gonna dress up like Mohamed.

Why did Michael Starr or anyone else dredge up this shit? Doesn't it stink of "Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist party?" Or, going back further, "ARE YOU A WITCH??? Can you PROVE you're not a witch? We'll lead you to this lake and throw you in and if you..."

Christ. Does Michael Starr have nothing else to write about? Does he think if looters overrun the local stores near him, and decide to rob apartments in his building, he'll be exempt because of this? "Oh, wait, that's Starr's place. Let's not break in. He's on OUR side, he wrote that Jimmy Kimmel should APOLOGIZE." Right. Karma, or something like that? The more times you whine about blackface (but ignore "The Washington Redskins" or problems involving other races, religions or sexualities) the better.

How damn CHILDISH is it, to point a finger and say "APOLOGIZE." What good does it do? For the puppy Fallon, it sent the mob in another direction. But shouldn't they have left him alone to begin with, since he's got THE ROOTS tooting behind him?

But, in all seriousness, making Kimmel take a knee and APOLOGIZE doesn't even prove sincerity. Who knows if Kimmel or Fallon REALLY are sorry they tried to get a laugh? They might only be sorry they got caught up in idiocy.

Who's next? Billy Crystal is probably hiding out for fear of being slammed for his affectionate Sammy Davis Jr. impersonations. Billy, if you choose to do a new movie, or write another book...be prepared to make the APOLOGY.

And how about the blackface scenes in Laurel and Hardy or Three Stooges films? Those guys are too dead to be WOKE, but do those scenes get cut? Maybe blurred with "WE APOLOGIZE" over them in big letters?

How do the dominoes topple? Any cable station running "The Jazz Singer" anymore? "Gone with the Wind" pulled ONLY because there was VIOLENCE in the streets? Now this hounding of Jimmy Kimmel? What other old TV show or old movie gets the self-righteous rage? And would it help if it wasn't always "this is terrible for blacks, who are rioting and looting with just cause?" Would it help if Frank DeKova's episodes of "F-Troop" were removed because he played Chief Wild Eagle and he was Italian? Or don't Native Americans rate? Or isn't it just a bit too ludicrous to make a big deal about it?

There will ALWAYS be people turning sensitivity into pathetic and wearisome "social justice warrior" bullying and nagging, and that's a damn shame. Columnists like Michael Starr should save their bilious yammering for things that are important. And that doesn't mean hounding some actress who was hired to play a transgender or a lesbian, and who is neither, just a GOOD actress. That doesn't include banning music and burning books, or shelving every Tarzan or Charlie Chan movie. What's next? Valerie Harper wasn't Jewish so ban re-runs of "Rhoda?"

My pal Mort Sahl used to say that if you take up the same position in America, "eventually you'll be tried for treason." Attention comedians...a joke you make today, MIGHT get you kicked out of show biz, or even BEHEADED a decade from now.
