I tuned into Tucker to get his take on Castrudeau’s imposition of martial law in Canada and his declaration that “all of your monies belong to me.” He did cover that eventually but his opening segment was devoted to a new book about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez written by editors of New York magazine. It’s called – and I’m not making this up - Take Up Space. I’m beginning to think that the Left really does not understand irony.
As you are not likely to purchase this charming little Valentine of a book yourself I’m dedicating my post today to Tucker’s take on the book length love letter to the arguably silliest member of Congress since Al Franken.
The closed captions aren’t working on YouTube; you can find them on the Fox News site but you’ll have to endure their ads.
It is news entertainment at its eviscerating best. The segment runs a clip of Sandy doing a Instagram post of herself demonstrating how she applies eyeshadow and lipstick (“I start small and work my way out”) while her running commentary reflects on how “it’s so hard to be taken seriously.” Again, the irony thing.
Here are just a couple of tease quotes from the book:
“Ocasio-Cortez is the first person in history to live fully out loud while female. And the degradations of womenhood are personal to her.”
Thus providing proof of feminism’s failure: 55 years hence and she’s still whining about the same things Bella Abzug and Betty Friedan did.
She offered the reassuring warmth of Oprah; the fire and brimstone of Jonathan Edwards; the inspiration of John. F. Kennedy; the intimacy of an FDR fireside chat. It was exhausting and reassuring and scary and comforting and extremely weird.
That comment must have been inspired by her Instagram in which she takes questions from fans constituents while assembling an Ikea table for her new Washington D.C. condo.
Round hole, square peg, or vice versa
ot to be outdone by New York, the New Yorker did their own suck-up profile of little AOC in her first 3 years (it sure seems longer) in Congress.
“Honestly, it is a shit show,” she said. “It’s scandalizing, every single day. What is surprising to me is how it never stops being scandalizing”…said AOC without so much as a smidgen of irony, let alone self-awareness.
As Jeb Pleb posted on the YouTube video, “Don't feel too bad. I’m Canadian. Our AOC is prime minister.” Dead right: two would-be showgirls who landed on national stage long before they were ready for any sort of ‘prime’ time.
And that concludes perhaps my cattiest Caturday post.

I was partly annoyed by Tucker’s dedication of 15 minutes opening time to this book. It somewhat reminded me of when people posted a video of AOC dancing for a Boston College cheerleader video... it was obviously not going to hurt her.
If she changed her hair color you’d think you were watching the Movie “Legally Blonde”
Tucker doesn’t have to do things just to “hurt” her. And that segment was wildly entertaining, which is worth something, too, IMHO.
I suppose you are right. It just seemed odd with the two major news stories out there. Seemed to me to be giving ‘Sandy’ too much screen time.
I found it hilarious to watch!
The author MUST have an altar dedicated to worshiping Her Royal Airheadness.
It’s hard to believe some people’s perception of reality.
It’s even harder to believe a publisher would put two covers between such crap.
I loved it! AOC is an airhead...
Looking forward to the follow-up book, “AOC - A Waste of Oxygen.”
Do you think the writers at the New Yorker actually believed what they were writing? Or did they lose some sort of wager?
You can't have an AOC thread without some stupid memes!
Tucker’s open was hilarious!
Whether anyone else cares or not, someone mocking her makeup routine is going to cut her deep. It's her brand, and the only thing she has to offer, really. I imagine she is seething. If only she realized how trifling and utterly shallow she seems. A role model for empowered women? On TikTok, maybe.
So funny!!
