Clinton’s Samantha Bee Problem
NY Times ^ | September 21, 2016 | Ross Douthat

Posted on 09/21/2016 5:56:50 AM PDT by C19fan

When the histories of the Trump era are written from exile in Justin Trudeau’s Canada, they will record that it was none other than Jimmy Fallon who brought down the republic.

Or so you might have thought, at least, listening the furious liberal reaction to Fallon’s willingness to treat Trump like any other late-night guest last week: kidding around with him, mussing up his combover and steering clear of anything that would convey to late-night television viewers that Trump is actually beyond the pale.

The only reason I ever heard of Samantha Bee is every left of center publication publicizes her.

She’s a rabid Canadian liberal who lives here now, was a writer for one of the Comedy Channel “news” shows and now has her own puke liberal ‘comedy’ show that pretends it’s ‘news’ too.

A skanky middle aged female that still thinks she looks good in overly tight pants while gesticulating in them like she has to take a huge crap while she’s explaining the logic of why Trump is a misogynist or something. Really, really pathetic.

So it’s not enough for your Leftist fans for you to be a Leftist yourself. You must utterly DESTROY the people they hate in order to retain their loyalty.

Sad, but not surprising. Samantha Bee is a singularly loathsome human being. Thanks a LOT, Canada! /s

She’s not funny or good looking. So what is the draw? I mean, I try to watch these lefties honestly and I can see that sometimes, people like Chelsea Handler, John Oliver and Bill Maher can actually be funny. However, unless you’re a die hard lefty commie lover, what exactly is so funny or appealing about Bee? The few times I’ve watched her all I’ve heard her do was lefty rants....

The comments at the site are predictably ridiculous.

Isn’t it funny how lefties claim all we do is get our news from Fox or Rush (or any conservative talk show host) but they watch Jon Stewart or this dumb ass and call it news?

I’ve heard of Burt Bee, but never this Sam Bee. Should I wiki it, or am I better off right here?

That's a face for radio.

They gave her a show because she's a woman and after Trevor Noah and Stephen Colbert, why not? It will - her show I mean - be hopefully mercifully short-lived.

Samantha Bee’s sole reason for existing is to make Amy Schumer seem smart, funny, and attractive by comparison.

But to flip from Stephen Colbert’s winsome liberalism to Seth Meyers’s class-clown liberalism to Bee’s bluestocking feminism to John Oliver’s and Trevor Noah’s lectures on American benightedness is to enter an echo chamber from which the imagination struggles to escape.

And THAT is a tall order.

“Samantha Bee’s sole reason for existing is to make Amy Schumer seem smart, funny, and attractive by comparison.”

That’s got to be it.

If you have to excerpt, please excerpt something resembling the subject of the article. All I see is stuff about Fallon and Trump, not Clinton and Bee.

My wife likes to watch Big Bang Theory reruns on TBS. EVERY commercial break seems to be for Samantha Bee's show. The rest are for the extremely not funny Conan O'Brien.

That was perhaps the finest article I have read from the NYT in many years.

Samantha Bee is the Lena Dunham of 2016. Nobody watches their shows, they’re ugly inside and out, yet they are pushed by the left wingers.

And she is profoundly un-funny. I’ve noticed that right wing humor is generally clever, while left-wing humor depends on the neurological meat-axe approach. She is a neurological meat-axe and it isn’t at all funny.
