Article snippet: Posted at 7:30 pm on July 5, 2017 by Jim Jamitis Apparently there are some people who actually think politics isn’t stupid enough right now. Later this month in Pasadena, the third annual Politicon will feature a “debate” between comedian Chelsea Handler and Tomi Lahren, formerly of The Blaze. The Daily Beast broke the story. “Hammering” a Republican president is such a risky move for a comedian. From the clips I watched, the only thing Handler “hammers” is the really low hanging fruit. The only punchlines you don’t see coming from a mile away are the ones that come after Handler’s tired schtick has you looking for dead pixels on your screen just to alleviate the boredom. And calling Tomi Lahren a “controversial conservative pundit” is selling it a little strong. She’s a talking point parrot who doesn’t read much (and it shows). The most controversial thing about her is that for some reason she had a show of her own while many bright and talented conservatives didn’t. This debate will be as intellectually stimulating as that time Tonya Harding took on Paula Jones on “Celebrity Boxing.” It will be like watching a Samantha Bee impersonator arguing with a Special Edition “Make America Great Again” Furby. For anyone expecting a Lincoln-Douglas style event, you will be disappointed. (Also you should probably get a CAT scan at your earliest convenience.)   Link to the full article to read more
