“first openly asshole president”
in the last couple of days, there was a lot of talk about insults and harrassment, especialy on facebook and twitter.
two month ago, when i watched jon stewarts daily show, i was amazed how jon stewart loves to insult people he dislikes. this is pretty evident, when stewart starts to talk about donald trump. however, the sheer frequency in which stewart called trump an asshole was amazing.
In a second segment dedicated to Trump, Daily Show senior election correspondent Jordan Klepper talks about how The Donald, if elected, could be “our first openly asshole President.” Klepper then says that while Nixon was a “gaping asshole, but closeted,” Trump “says it loud and proud.” The segment also featured a cameo appearance by noted “asshole” Paul Rudd.
in germany lots of people say, criticism should be factual. germans even expect comedians to be factual. and indeed, it is more or less impossible to call someone an asshole, without facing legal consequences. there is only one way to call someone an asshole without consequences: call yourself an asshole. from time to time i do so.
