I caught a video clip of her actual remarks at the Emmy’s this morning on Fox & Friends. An interesting idea came to me when listening to her delivery of the blasphemous statements, which she intended, and generally received by the audience as comedic.

When I had read the quotes here, it appeared to me she was appealing to an agnostic/atheist/generally antiChristian audience to appeal to their antichristian nature. Her ‘joke’ in written form appears to emphasize a delivery where the ‘punch’ or emphasis phrase, used to spark laughter or the comic twitch, focused on the phrase, beginning with “Suc* it,....this is my g*d.”

On the contrary, when the punchline was delivered, it became obvious that she had the line pre-written, and attempted to deliver it as a comedian, but the crowd got ahead of her and foresaw her commentary about how many others refer to Jesus and she already well telegraphed her interpretation.

Now as a comedian, she grossly misread the audience, because she forced the line and even drug it out beyond any semblance of humor (even for the antichristian).

The idea I considered as interesting is that her presentation seemed to manifest the joke may not have been her original idea, that she is rather poor at its delivery, and thirdly was unable to read her audience, but apparently felt it important enough to continue to scream it out even after her ‘god’ of an audience approval was likely to show her disfavor in her continuing the delivery.

IMHO, she looked more like she was trying to earn another occultic merit badge for a different audience than the one she was addressing, and accomplished her perceived milestone for her handlers, but in doing so revealed a remarkably poor ability to read an audience, ad lib, and carry a joke to completion in a league beyond her own.

Very sobering possibility.

Sounds like you could well be quite right.

Thanks.
