Burns will definitely be ready for the Rubber Room should Trump win in November.

He’s always looked like a little girl to me. Even the mustache doesn’t change that.

Went to a screening of one of his films at CalTech and he did the same thing. Just assumed everybody agreed with him.

The saddest thing: All those Stanford students and faculty yelling and cheering his rant.

The self-proclaimed "yellow dog Democrat" just couldn't give politics a rest yesterday of all days. The speech was also especially egregious in view of the fact that Burns is largely dependent on taxpayer based funding from PBS and he just insulted at least half the people paying for his career.

So what? He knows we don't pay for PBS by choice and he'll get the money from us regardless. So why not show his contempt for us? What's he got to lose? Nothing, we go on funding him because the government forces us to.

Don’t be surprised when he-she-it announces a gender transition and expects to be named Woman of the Year.

I loved his Civil War one. Everything after that has bored me to tears. He even made the old west boring. That's a rare gift.

Good call. Ken Burns rocked the lesbian look before Justin Bieber.
