ANNALS OF THE CULTURE WAR, TV PARTY EDITION.
William F. Gavin at National Review on Mad Men:
...the show has degenerated into absurdity, loss of focus, and meandering plot lines. The main character has become eccentric, distant, increasingly mean-spirited, and disoriented.
Gee, come to think of it, this sounds just like the Obama administration, doesn’t it?
At dinner tonight, Gavin told friends, "This soup is thin and bitter -- like Obama!" Leaving the restaurant, he buttoned his jacket and remarked, "The night's gotten cold, like Obama's relationship with the press. Or maybe like the corpses of the babies slaughtered by Planned Parenthood." But no one was left to hear him.
Elsewhere in the same venue, Greg Pollowitz:
Somebody Should Get Fired Over SNL's Benghazi Skit
It’s gotten to the point where I’m amazed when SNL is actually funny or relevant as political satire, but Saturday’s cold open wasn’t just a dud as a joke, but completely offensive to the four Americans who lost their lives in Benghazi.
I imagine Pollowitz drunk at some bar, yelling "This jukebox is full of lies!" Like I often say: Do they even know any normal people?
