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 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"?
Somerby 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.
There 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?”
