Further to the
Cunt Conversation:
Obviously it was her decision, but I really, really wish Samantha Bee had merely apologized to TBS for using a dirty word on their network. Ivanka Trump IS a feckless cunt, and doesn't deserve one word of apology. Roseanne Barr* insulted a woman for her heritage and appearance. Samantha Bee just used a nasty word to call out a genuinely oblivious, tone-deaf action.
* God DAMN, the coverage of this shit is fucking stupid. She didn't just call her an "ape," but that's all the fucking media can focus on at one time. The "Muslim Brotherhood" part of it absolutely should be examined just as closely; it just takes more unpacking of the layers of racism and miscellaneous bigotry than our news media can manage. Then again, all they had to do was quote the full alleged "joke" rather than reduce it to a single word. Normally I'd think repeating it would do more harm than good, but it's so pants-shittingly stupid that it reflects on Barr waaaaaay more than it ever would on Jarrett.
