Denis Leary is a pretty good guy.

Sure, he's not always the most liberal person, but he's pretty damn legit - he's crass, blunt, and honest, but he supports firefighters and first responders, he's been married for close to 30 years (yeah, I do think that's a Good Thing), and he's not actually an asshole...

...but he thinks some people are assholes.

Robin Williams and Milton Berle were also notorious joke thieves.

It's not right, but...eh. As a chef, I also "steal" a lot of ideas; it's why we all have literally tens to hundreds of other people's cookbooks. Ain't much truly new under the sun.

Leary is known in comedy circles for stealing other comedian's materiel, including some who are dead. Leary is not so good a guy.

IIRC Robin Williams was known as a major joke-stealer, along with Milton Berle. Not gonna say it's OK, but it seems to be the nature of comedy.

Anybody who's willing to say Trump is an asshole on global TV is fine by me regardless of plagiarism.
