FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 2025
A flyweight took over from there: Last evening, on the Fox News Channel, Sean Hannity ended his "cable news" program as he always does:
HANNITY (1/30/25): Let not your heart be troubled. Why? Greg Gutfeld is up next to put a smile on your face. Have a great night!
Just like that, the 60-year-old Gutfeld was up. After accepting applause from the studio audience, this was the first way he put that smile on our faces:
GUTFELD (1/30/25): Danish scientists have discovered a patch of 66 million-year-old vomit that is being hailed as a national treasure.
That beats us! In America, all we had was an 81-year-old piece of crap in the White House.
[LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE]
As he typically does, he opened with a short string of such jokes.
The theme of his second joke? Joy Behar is too fat.
The theme of his third joke? The five (5) women of The View aren't sexually attractive.
The theme of his fourth joke? Governor Pritzker (D-Ill.) is too fat.
After a Chappaquiddick joke, the mirth continued. After several jokes whose themes we couldn't quite decipher, the theme of his eighth joke was this:
CNN's Brian Stelter is too fat.
This is who, and this is what, these idiots actually are. Blue America's unimpressive elites have never come up with a way to report or discuss this societal problem.
Inevitably, he closed with a "nailing the nanny" joke. This is who these flyweights are. Also, this is the world we've enabled.
Trump released an army of violent criminals when he pardoned the J6ers.
ReplyDeleteSure enough, a resulting crime wave has ensued, including multiples deaths directly caused by those pardoned.
Not to mention all the plane crashes. He's really messing up the country.
DeleteWe have become the laughingstock of the world in short order due to Trump.
DeleteSince the audience likes it, he keeps at it. It's for the money, he's getting rich and so is fox
ReplyDeleteIf the NyTimes told people how vulgar Gutfeld is, I’m afraid he would gain viewers. I am embarrassed that so many of my fellow conservatives watch this garbage.
DeleteHow can you be embarrassed of yourself? Look in the mirror fascist prick.
DeleteThe morally decent conservatives in this country got off the felon's bandwagon a long time ago. You are part of the rot. The stench surrounding you is not coming from others.
DeleteTrump has imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. If any Canadian, Mexican, or Chinese exporters want to be exempt from the tariffs, all they have to do is bribe Trump. He can’t be prosecuted, and Republicans will never impeach him.
ReplyDelete"Blue America's unimpressive elites have never come up with a way to report or discuss this societal problem."
ReplyDeleteOur Host makes the complaint with regularity. He rarely offers us details of how, where, and when "Blue America's elites" should tackle the necessary chore. The boundaries of the shirking irresponsible group is similarly vague.
Sometimes it seems as if "Blue America" is only a default designation for anyone and everyone who isn't actively shovelling in the Fox barnyard.
Does the New York Times or the Washington Post owe readers an analysis of Gutfeld's smutty presentations? Does NBC News? How about online outlets like the Daily Beast?
I suppose the ambition of such coverage would be to alert the world to the poor performance going on on Murdoch's farm. But then what?
"Does the New York Times or the Washington Post owe readers an analysis of Gutfeld's smutty presentations?"
DeleteIt seems to me that it's fit news to print, since it's a significant part of the process that is paving the path to authoritarianism. But Krugman tells us that NYT opinion writers are forbidden to broach the topic. Forbidden.
The NYTimes is not NPR or BS. They have the right to dictate their content. Krugman quit, so he made his point. Now you can support him by subscribing to his substack. I do.
DeleteGutfeld is of no electoral consequence.
DeleteBlue America is busy providing most of the labor and producing most of the gdp in this country, the stuff Republicans parasitically live off of, yet it is Blue America Somerby chooses to scold, and on a basis for which he neither has nor bothers to offer any evidence for.
Somerby's work here is just representative of your typical right winger/Republican supporter: lazy, lacking integrity, and a poor thinker.
I don’t know, but I wouldn’t say that the criticizing of Gutman’s crudeness and classlessness is representative of the views of the lazy, stupid, right-wing Republicans I know. It seems different somehow.
DeleteWho is Gutman?
DeleteGutfeld is of moral and intellectual consequence.
DeleteAlert the media! Fox tells unfunny political jokes!
ReplyDeleteIt's not simply that they're not funny. They're deeply unfunny and vulgar.
Delete1st Ammendment protects it. Why does Somerby watch Fox?
DeleteThe 1st Amendment protects the right to name the Republican voter who isn't a bigot, yet no one will do it. I wonder why.
DeleteA real Department of Government Efficiency would fire Trump, and let us hear directly from Putin, and not a middle man.
ReplyDeleteHa! Pretty good.
DeleteAfter being told trump won't accept the results of the election theres already two mysterious plane crashes.
ReplyDeleteWhy is musk illegally trying to gain access to the fed’s payment system?

“Who we were born to, who we choose to be on emerging from that chrysalis, what we love and who, these shape us. Nevertheless, who we are is always a choice: every indrawn breath is a choice, too. Nice people do not go MAGA, although people who are respectable and who are good at seeming nice go MAGA all the time.
ReplyDeleteThat’s what makes the game so fascinating, the game of who goes MAGA: who would choose to drink the poisoned chalice when pushed up against the wall—and who reaches for it with both hands. And why.
An upbringing or a code, innate instinct, rough experience, empathy or politesse can draw us away from vulgarity and cruelty. Pride and fear, venal self-absorption, a desire for vengeance, cowardice, conformity, jealousy and loneliness can draw us into hate. ”

Somerby has made bad choices. He continues to make them.
Well written poetry, but devoid of facts. Just general, all-purpose insults. If one substituted the word “Democrat” or
Delete“Bahai” or “Yankee fan” for each use of the word MAGA, it would work as well.
How about substituting "Jewish Zionist", Dickhead?
DeleteThe author attributes their own emotional reasoning to the opposition. It is very ugly projection.
DeleteThe Right doesn't call the Left "snowflakes" for nothing. The Right calls the Left "snowflakes" because every Right-wing accusation is really a confession.
DeleteSame reason they accuse the Left of being pedophiles.

Hello to you all!
DeleteI have a very important question to ask.
If you find yourself in a crowded elevator and you suddenly realize a potent and foul odor, do you:
A) Do and say nothing, trying your best to ignore the offending odor
B) Deny any and all involvement in the production of said odor
C) Blame it on the person standing to your left
D) Claim complete responsibility for the production of the offending odor, even if you didn’t produce it!
If you answered with option D, then you should definitely check out MrMethane.com and https://www.facebook.com/fanny.farts.7
You will be most pleased!!
Blue America's elites may not have addressed the problem, and that is a problem, but Jon Stewart certainly did on a nightly basis, for years.
