Cheers and Jeers: Rum and Resistance FRIDAY!
From the GREAT STATE OF MAINE…
Late Night Comedians Will Continue Landing Blows
"Donald Trump’s inauguration is expected to be the most costly in U.S. history. And that’s not even factoring in the money."
---Conan O'Brien
“He’s got the lowest approval rating of any incoming president in modern history. But, hey, it’s not a popularity contest. And neither was the election."
---Stephen Colbert
“Donald Trump will be sworn in as president this Friday at 12 noon. That’s when the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the Bible.”
---Seth Meyers
"The B Street Band decided to cancel out of respect for Springsteen’s opposition to Donald Trump. Maybe a Springsteen cover band canceling is all for the best. Born in the USA would have been an insensitive song to play at a party celebrating a campaign that was actually born in Russia."
---James Corden
"You want to know why so many celebrities died in 2016? It was to get out of playing the goddamn inauguration!"
---Lewis Black
"Donald Trump’s inaugural committee is actually encouraging protesters to show up on Friday, saying, quote, 'We’ll give you cookies and Kool-Aid.' Then Republicans in Congress were like: 'Actually, we drank all the Kool-Aid.'”
---Jimmy Fallon
No formal cheers and jeers below the fold tonight, just a little mish-mash of pish-posh. And, yeah, there's a 'Who on the Week' poll, full of heroes, rebels, and other assorted good people. We look forward to filling up future polls with members of the resistance fighting the orcs who were given the keys to the jalopy today. Gonna be ugly, but we’ll win our share of rounds.
C’mon down. Open bar. No grizzly bears.
