Democrats Love Snarky Sex Jokes Now
The past eight years have proven just how ineffective it is to respond to one throat-punch after another with feckless politeness, so I'm all for it.
Politics Democratic National Convention
In response to the rise of Donald Trump and all his attendant child-like nastiness, Michelle Obama said, “When they go low, we go high” at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. And while I appreciate the general sentiment, the past eight years have proven just how ineffective it is to respond to one throat-punch after another with feckless politeness. So I am a fan of Democrats’ apparent course correction, which was cemented at this year’s DNC thanks to some memorable, almost Trumpian sex jokes.
On Tuesday night, former President Barack Obama closed out the evening with a thinly veiled, well-timed dick joke, musing about Trump’s “weird obsession with crowd sizes,” while making gestures with his hands. One of his former speechwriters, current Pod Save America bro Jon Favreau, helped write the speech and said in a Thursday episode of the podcast that the line had actually been improvised by our 63-year-old former commander-in-chief.
