The furious gentleman's tale: Personally, we wish that Governor Walz would stop making unhelpful comments.
To appearances, the comments are meant to be amusing. They help the pro-MAGA side.
We also think that Blue America should be aware of the way the Fox News Channel is changing the shape of the public discourse within the "cable news" realm.
Yesterday, the furious children on The Five were unhappy with Governor Walz. Inevitably, resident silly boy Jesse Watters teased the program's second segment with this sad remark:
WATTERS (9/3/25): Up next, Trump's not dead—and Tampon is upset.
At this point, he doesn't even call him "Tampon Tim!" To this silliest of all American children, his name is simply "Tampon."
On the nation's most-watched "cable news" program, the gentleman's name is now "Tampon." When it came time for Greg Gutfeld to speak, the angry lad went with this:
GUTFELD: What can you say about Tim Walz that hasn't already been said in Deliverance?
[LAUGHTER]
The guy is a creep. He is a blubbering eunuch.
The Dems really messed with America before Trump returned, but one of the worst things they did was introduce us to this—I was going to say "retard," but I can't say that—this asshole to a wider audience.
We were so better off not knowing who he was. And now that we know that he exists and that he just plays to an audience, he's a loser and he's a scumbag.
The furious fellow couldn't say "retard." So he went with "asshole" instead!
Increasingly, the children traffic in news analysis of that type, in which the disfavored person is a retard, an asshole, a scumbag. In this way, as we've noted before, Gutfeld's unregulated fury is being transferred from his own gruesome TV show down to the world of The Five.
Experts now refer to this sort of thing as "The revolt (or the revenge) of the D-minus students." They've been angry for a long time, and Fox is now letting them vent.
For the record:
The Fox News Channel no longer BLEEPS the analytical term, "asshole." On the brighter side, no one said that Walz is gay on yesterday's program, unless "eunuch" and Deliverance count.
This seems to be who these children are. This seems to be what they have.
Dana Perino laughs it off. She's there to create an impression.
Walz is not hurting Democrats.
ReplyDeleteWalz would have been a fine vice president.
DeleteWalz is a lightweight. He was a poor choice for VP. Comparing him to Vance is like comparing 0 to ∞.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Vance is a zero. What else can a liar be?
DeleteHold on. Vance is a skilled and accomplished liar, doing it with a very natural air as if it's second nature, and generally with a smile on his face.
DeleteYour grasp of math is as deficient as your understanding of public policy, David. ∞ is not a number.
DeleteI will also add that Walz actually used to worked for a living, which is not something that can be said of Vance.
PS: Who was it that said that Trump was a cynical asshole and called him an "American Hitler"?
The infinity symbol isn’t a number, but it is used in mathematics. I disagree with David, but his comment made sense.
DeleteI understand that infinity is used in math. However, you can't compare it to a number; it's nonsensical. ∞ + ∞ = ∞ . Normal operations of arithmetic don't apply in the same way.
DeleteHowever, I will postulate a version of the infinite monkey theorem: Trump spitting out incoherent posts for infinity will eventually produce something resembling a policy.
Ilya - I am embarrassed to confess how much time and effort I put into understanding different forms of infinity. There are different meanings depending on what field of mathematics you're working in. In analysis, there are infinite series. In geometry, there are limits as x goes toward infinity as well as infinite lines. In set theory, there is a list various levels of infinity ℵ0, ℵ1, ℵ2,...
DeleteThere's also the common English meaning that infinite means undefinably large. That's the one I had in mind when comparing Vance to infinity. I was trying to say that Vance's intelligence is undefinably larger than Walz's.
I am confused by your allegation that Vance didn't work for a living. He worked as a writer, a lawyer, and a venture capitalist.
I confess to having learned about liars in Grades 1-3, so I never believed you were ever an actuary.
Delete"Venture Capitalist" is not a job. There's no record of Vance doing anything in the legal sphere. I'll concede that he might've done some work as a journalist. I haven't read his book, but maybe I will peruse it. I hear that it's decent.
DeleteI don't know how you can compare Walz's and Vance's intelligence, but I am pretty sure we know who can discard their beliefs and principals at the drop of a hat.
Noam Chomsky makes an interesting point in one of his essays. When he goes and speaks on the subject of math, no one tells him that he is not qualified, even though math is a very vertical discipline. When he speaks on public policy, he's constantly challenged for his lack of credentials, even though public policy or politics is a broad field and not a deep field; that is, it ain't particle physics. All of that to point out that "intelligence", when it comes to politics and public policy, is not that deep.
Vance and his book are bogus.
DeleteHow do you guys type characters like infinity and aleph?
DeleteAnd how did David put subscripts on the alephs?
DeleteDavid in Cal?
DeleteThe former actuary, and future Holocaust denier?
That David in Cal?
David in Cal, who I find infinitely dense, explain me why you are not demanding this cluster duck be impeached?
Delete"We have a mentally unbalanced Health and Human Services secretary with no medical background canceling $500 million in mRNA vaccine research, a technology for which he believes Doanld Trump deserves a Nobel Prize. He’s fired the nation’s top infectious disease experts and paved the way for the next global pandemic."
You all fools and weirdos twisting yourself in pretzels to say nothing to see here, it's all fine and normal. Party before functioning brain.
And Kennedy is a pathological liar. The GOP refused to put him under oath at his hearing. He denied saying things he said ON THE RECORD. Also, just *chef’s kiss* he knew Epstein well, and Maxwell gushed about having a crush on him in her recent “interview” with Todd Blanche.
Delete@10:34 I am not demanding that RFK Jr. be impeached because I am a powerless nobody. IMO he's a dreadful choice for his position, but there's nothing I can do about it.
DeleteIlya - IMO public policy is a very broad field. It's the people doing it who are shallow. (Paraphrasing "Sunset Boulevard.") Seriously, I have seen in business how policy setting makes the difference between earning billions of dollars or going bankrupt. Public policy is even harder than corporate management.
DeleteIt's hard to evaluate public policy setters real time, but one can often evaluate them after the fact. CA taxes per capita are more than double FL's, yet we do not have better services. In other words, FL state and local government is twice as efficient as CA. That shows the difference between good policy and dreadful policy.

Ilya - Venture capitalist must be a job, in order to earn those outlandish amounts of money.

Go fuck yourself, Dickhead. You knew RFK Jr. was going to get that job when you crawled naked thru broken glass to cast your vote for Prince Orange Chickenshit. Who the fuck do you think you're kidding by acting like you don't approve now, you fucking two-faced phony fascist freak.
DeleteGreat jobs report, eh, Dickhead? Go fuck yourself.
DeleteI have called and written my R congresswoman and both Senators about impeaching Kennedy. You can do that if you cared about your fellow citizens safety and health. Instead you want to be a fuckstick. As usual.
DeleteDavid, you refuse to make Aliyah. Could you at least move to Florida?
DeleteSomerby blames Walz for Gutfeld and Watters’ behavior. That’s ridiculous. I suppose Rosie O’Donnell is responsible for Trump’s threats against her too.
ReplyDeleteThese Fox employees are not doing this for any other reason than political gain. It is their job. Just as Somerby today amplifies their message (that Dems are clueless tampons) instead of defending Walz, as an actual liberal would. There isn’t any kind of revolt happening. Just business as usual on the right.
Walz is a clever tampon.
DeleteNot clear how the female Fox viewers or presenters feel about using “tampon” as an insult. If men had a monthly period, they wouldn’t last 5 minutes.
DeleteI had a wet dream once. I got on with my life.
DeleteMan In Name Only.
DeleteThere are no experts referring to any revolt. This is the silly lie Somerby offers in lieu of facts. It isn’t funny or cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat did Walz say that was “unhelpful?”
ReplyDeleteYou expect clarity? You’re at the wrong blog.
DeleteWhat did he say? Does it matter? Watters, Gutfeld, et al, would mock him no matter what he said or didn't say. I can't understand why Our Host blames Walz for something he didn't cause and couldn't prevent.
DeleteYou know what Walz would say, Somerby is being weird.
DeleteYou know why Somerby is doing it. Walz is a democrat. When was the last time he praised any Democrat?
DeleteWhat's with all the child rapists in the Republican Party?
ReplyDeleteWhat’s with this push by Republicans for a Nobel Prize for Donald Trump? In an all too typical case of Republican fake history Republican Senator Cassidy, who figured prominently in RFK Jr’s confirmation, suggested yesterday that because Operation Warp Speed brought vaccines to market quickly, Trump deserves the prize. Warp Speed funneled money to 10 drug companies. The first Covid vaccine approved by the FDA on Dec. 10, 2020 was produced by Pfizer , exclusively utilizing European funding and having no connection to Operation Warp Speed. Even Jake Tapper repeated the false claim that Warp Speed was responsible for bringing the vaccine to market sooner than it would have been without the US funding. Pure BS.
ReplyDeleteTBF - Modern a used OWS funds to develop their mRNA vax. All ten of my wife's and all ten of my Covid shots are Moderna. Also, TBF, anybody supporting Kennedy and assorted grifter deniers (Lapado) are fucking morons.
DeleteReal Problems. Real Solutions.
ReplyDelete“DOJ Seeks Access to Dominion Voting Equipment Used in 2020 Election”

It won't do anything about grocery price inflation, but it will do wonders for Republican voters, who want to know why black people's votes were counted in the 2020 Presidential election.
DeleteYou know, the economically anxious and not at all bigoted voter base of the Republican Party.
Say what you will about the Republican Party, but you can't honestly say they don't love raping children.
ReplyDeleteMy last month paycheck was for 11000 dollars… All i did was simple online work from comfort at home for 3-4 hours/day that I got from this agency I discovered over the internet and they paid me for it 95 bucks every hour…. for more info visit any tab this site Thanks a lot .
