Leftwing Outrage of the Day: Obnoxious Fox Guy Jessie Watters Makes a Statement Which May Or May Not be a Lewd Sexual Remark About Ivanka Trump;
Liberal Hero "Reporter" Jake Tapper Pounces
The Blue Checkmark Mafia takes its outrage where it can find it.
Jessie Watters, in defending Ivanka Trump from hissing German progressives (and noting that progressives believe in treating women with respect in theory so long as she's a dues-paying member of their cult), then said, with a wag of his eyebrows, "I like the way she talks into her microphone" or something like that, which many took as a reference to oral sex.
Which it could be.
He later clarified he meant that her voice was like that of a "smooth jazz DJ," which is something he could actually have possibly meant. Though I'd say more of a low-talking Public Affairs Editor on a College Radio Station. (A lot of them talk that way.)
But my money is probably on the oral sex angle.
But that's just speculation -- I'd put my money on that, if I had to bet, but I'm not so positive of it I would bet on it except with good odds.
And if that is what he meant --
1, who cares?
2, the left routinely denigrates conservative women in sexual terms. Ask Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, or Sarah Palin about it.
3, who cares? At this state of this very course culture the left has brought about, who cares about a minor league blowjob gag? (See what I did there?)
For the love of Pete, the liberals scolded us for a year that an actual blowjob, lied about in a court deposition, by a sitting president, specifically sitting in the Oval Office (I can't see the chubby Clinton standing all the way through it), was no big shakes and we were sexually repressed obsessives for saying it was.
Now a minor "Aw aren't I a little scamp?" blowjob reference from a minor correspondant is the worst thing ever?
4, the left, which plays at being daring sexual libertine who love transgression when it's not playing its other role of uptight chilly-boxed prudes who shriek "Unclean!" at everyone they don't like, is really on the edge of suggesting that straight men cannot find sexual beauty in women.
If he'd said it about Michael Sam he'd receive an early Emmy.
But if you are offended, you've got former Salon reporter and Monica Lewinsky Date-and-Teller Jake Tapper to support you in your outrage.
Now, as a bit of context which you already know, Jake Tapper just happens to work at a competitor network, and Fox just happens to have launched a show at 9pm which may or may not work in that timeslot, so CNN may or may not have a vested interest in seeing it fail so it can climb out of the ratings basement and step once again into the glorious spotlight of a Distant Second Place.
But you know, Jake Tapper's chorus of Twitter sycophants will rise nobly to his defense, all flattered and shit that he personally DMs them to yell at them if they ever criticize his coverage.
Pro-tip, fellers: He does that to everyone. Do not be flattered by his relentless personalized Brand Protection efforts. You're not special; you're just special enough to be worth being told to shut up.
Anyway, keep on vouching for the impeccable honesty and unquestionable political neutrality of this ambitious progressive reporter, conservatives.
Actually... If it was a minor blowjob joke, it does deserve some level of criticism. I wouldn't want to be sexualized that way, if I were a woman. (I do wish to be sexualized, just to say it happened once, but that's because it never happens, and plus I'm a guy, who doesn't have the baggage of being thought of in mostly those terms.)
But this ludicrous pumping it up into Rape Culture You Guys? Give me a break.
Plus, one has to be a bit hesitant in one's criticism noting that this is only one interpretation of his meaning.
Unless you're Jake Tapper. Then you know what the truth is, and you can put it in chyrons. Like this:
BESIEGED FOX CORRESPONDENT CLAIMS HE DIDN'T WORD-RAPE PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER (HE DID)
PS: Remember how leftists and the news media (but I repeat myself) completely abstained from lewd clucking about Michelle Bachman eating a corn-dog?
