To Your Good Health

Jimmy Kimmel began his TV career as pretty much a goofball shlub.  And that's still been how he's developed his persona.  But a funny thing happened on the way to the public forum.  While Kimmel still have the goofball shlub in him, he's also turned in some thoughtful interviews and -- more to the point -- become outspoken and thoughtful on healthcare.

This is from his opening monologue last night.  You may love what he has to say -- or hate it.  But it's hard not to look at it think this is the work of a goofball shlub, but someone who has put a lot of blunt, outspoken thought into a political issue that's deeply important to you.
