Speaking of politics, I should also mention that likely GOP presidential candidate/frontrunner Scott Walker was somehow asked on ABC’s This Week about a tweet President Barack Obama sent out praising the courage of Caitlyn Jenner. That’s right, one question in a rather short interview with a legitimate presidential contender dealt with a tweet about a transgender reality TV star. I believe this development may be a sign of the coming apocalypse.
Walker rightly refused to answer the obvious “gotcha” question directly, but I wish he could have told the truth about it without knowing he would have ended up like Drake Bell. In a rational world the correct answer would have been, “I don’t find Jenner’s actions, which have been universally praised, to be at all ‘courageous,’ and I am very interested to hear how our commander-in-chief could possibly justify using that word to describe them. I look forward to someone in the media asking him that question.”
Of course no one in the fawning news media will ever dare to ask Obama (or Hillary Clinton, for that matter) such a reasonable question. Yet somehow getting Walker’s opinion of what Obama tweeted is a matter of great media urgency. Gee, I wonder why?
Of course, looking on the bright side for Republicans, at least we finally know what it takes for the news media to treat one of them as protected from even the slightest criticism. As someone who documented what the news media did to unfairly destroy the first female on the GOP presidential ticket, I can now see myself getting behind the V.P. candidacy of the one Republican female in existence that we know the media will treat as untouchable.
