I don’t think I’m thin-skinned or sans a sense-of-humor, but the Daily Show should have its satire license revoked for that cheap shot on Tampa. To recap: the parody target was Republican religious righteousness and the “coveted God endorsement.” Fair game, for sure.
That led host Jon Stewart to wonder whether God would actually be in Tampa for the August Convention. Incredulous faux correspondent Wyatt Cenac replied: “Have you been to Tampa ? That place is a s—hole.”
Yo.
Maybe it’s naive to call out comedians for confusing vulgarity with wit, and maybe it’s unsophisticated to criticize those doing anything for a cheap laugh. What the yuck; so be it.
But it’s a good thing this Republican Convention isn’t going to one of those cities more typically on the rotation. I’ve been to a few. You wanna talk municipal sphincters?
For GOP’s sake, see what you started?
