The Washington Post is in the tank for Samantha Bee, the unfunny feminist battle-ax on TBS. On the front of Monday's Express tabloid was the tease "Ladies first: Samantha Bee is one reason it was the year of the woman on TV." Inside, Post writer Marc Silver gushed that Bee was funnier than all the late-night male hosts...combined! That's some fake news:
Samantha Bee of TBS’ Full Frontal became the only woman in today’s TV landscape to host a late-night satirical news show, and she was sharper and funnier than all her male counterparts put together. In a year of big-league woman-bashing, she wielded her wit like a lethal Lady Gillette. When critics said Hillary Clinton should smile more during the debates, Bee ripped back: “No one was suggesting superficial changes for Trump, like … ‘Embrace your baldness proudly.’ ”
If 2016 was the "year of the woman," meaning liberal women, why didn't Hillary win, then? Perhaps Bee wasn't exactly "impactful." Liberals like Silver constantly confused the "wit" of Bee with leftist rage. Was it actually "funny" to crab at Joe Scarborough for suggesting Hillary smile more on TV? Or was it simply a feminist complaint they wanted to support? Liberals routinely mistake Bee's ungodly and profane rage for humor. For example:
1. Iowa caucuses. On her first show, just after Ted Cruz won the Iowa caucus on February 1, Bee was shown tying a noose before putting it down to lash out at Iowa Republicans: "Okay, so this fish-faced, horseshit salesman Ted Cruz as their new prized heifer.” After a soundbite of Cruz's wife Heidi, Bee spewed a translation: "My husband has stage four cancer of the personality. Now, look. I dislike Ted Cruz as much as the next everyone, but that's no reason to be rude to Ted's loving wife and possible hostage."
2. Mitt the Mormon mockery. Even attacking Trump drew Bee’s mockery. In March, she mocked Mitt Romney’s Mormon undergarments. “Mitt Romney, soiling his temple garments at the thought of brokered convention, staged a Mittervention so condescending it served as a donation in kind to the Trump campaign,” she insisted. “With all due respect, sir, the last time you tried to stand between a charismatic guy and the White House, you got beat like a Muslim girl at Trump rally.”
3. Evangelicals are racists. In May, Bee used leftist professor Randall Balmer’s argument that the religious right was founded on racism and the interracial dating ban at Bob Jones University, not about social issues like abortion. “It wasn't abortion that birthed the religious right. It was good old white nativism and anti-government anger when the IRS challenged evangelicals’ God-given right to go to school without black people....Old-fashioned values voters no longer have the clout to get their vat monster [Ted Cruz] the nomination, much less the Oval Office. And the new evangelicals are happy to ditch the Bible for good old white nativism and anti-government anger [picture of Donald Trump]."
4. Republican convention. On August 1, just after the Democratic convention wrapped up, Bee concluded: "Lucky for Democrats, their big shindig followed the four-day blooper reel that was the Republican convention. A poorly attended rage-a-thon featuring a parade of hemorrhoidal has-beens trying to literally scare up votes by making America shit its pants.”
Bee should look in the TV-ratings mirror when it comes to “poorly attended rage-a-thons.”
5. Democratic convention. On the same show, Bee proclaimed "America's racists lost their shit forcing multiple news sites to fact check the idea that slavery happened. It did and when this election is over we need to have a serious talk about education in this country. Well, the super delegates scrambled to switch their votes to Michelle Obama, the DNC proceeded to put on a U.S.A. lovefest that left us feeling like we just got a national blow job from the American flag."
But then, it's funny now that Bee and the Democrats thought blue-collar white men would come around:
"The unabashed patriotism of the Democratic convention seemed designed to win back the blue collar white men who could decide this election but underneath the flag waving chanting and literal pandering to testicles, the party feels they have the ideas that help those voters."
