It’s kind of amazing that Bill Clinton called Tina Fey of Saturday Night Live to thank her for this performance.
Let’s review. Tina Fey said that Bill and Hillary Clinton have exactly the same amount of sex with each other as George and Jeb Bush do. Then she said Hillary Clinton was a bitch. Then she compared Hillary Clinton to an ‘old clam’ nun that sleeps on a cot and beats her students. And Bill Clinton called her to thank her for her comedy routine.
Look…I have a sense of humor and I get the point Tina Fey was trying to make. I just can’t imagine having someone say those things about my wife on national television and feeling compelled to call up the person and thank them.
Just saying…this is not your ordinary couple.
I also take offense to the line ‘bitch is the new black’. I know it ostensibly refers to black as a wardrobe choice, but in the context of a campaign between a woman and a black man, it appears to suggest something else. And whatever its comedic value in that routine, I really hope Clinton supporters stop using it as a rallying cry, as if women are now as suppressed as black people have traditionally been in our society.
