The Washington Post, not for the first time, just referred to Jimmy Kimmel as “America’s conscience,” a title first conferred by, of course, CNN.
Any nation that seriously regards the slimy likes of Jimmy Kimmel as its conscience should just commit mass suicide like Jonestown, because it’s a menace to civilization.
Ethics Alarms 
If we are doing man show alumni to be America’s conscience I think Adam Corolla is a much better choice.
Good point.
That’s funny, Dan, I was thinking the same thing while driving to the grocery store just now. Of course, there’s always Adam Sandler or Howard Stern….
Paddy Chayefsky continues to be prescient after 43 years.
Why would CNN call him, and not Billy Graham, America’s conscience?
I have been engaging in these kind of discussions for over twenty years, much longer than Jimmy Kimmel has. I am more qualified to be America’s conscience than he is.
I’m going to pretend that’s not a rhetorical question for a second, and say “because religion ain’t cool, unless it’s Islam”.
More like part of America’s digestive tract than a function of its brain.
I don’t usually quote the Bible but, “Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” Matthew 15:14.
Thinking themselves to be wise, they are fools
Kimmel is “America’s Conscience?”
Hah; that’s almost as ludicrous as Barack Obama being the 1st Post-Racial POTUS and Saudi Arabia deserving to be on the UN Women’s Rights Commission.
Wait…what??
