Ridiculous Indignation
Seth Meyers, host of NBC's talkshow Late Night, on the nite of Tuesday-into-Wednesday, December 12-13, drew a preposterous distinction in a 'comedy' bit after his opening monolog ("Couple Things"; see it here), and became insanely indignant about that absolutely meaningless distinction.

Kayla Moore, wife of Ray Moore, candidate for U.S. Senate from Alabama, is shown rebutting the accusation that she and her husband do not like Jews by saying that "one of our lawyers is a Jew". For that simple, innocent, INNOCUOUS statement she was lambasted by Far Leftists, and Meyers piled on. It seems he found the term "a Jew" offensive, and insisted that she should have said instead that their lawyer was "Jewish". Hello?, sh*head: there is absolutely no difference between "a Jew" and "[a person who is] "Jewish". NONE.

"Jew" is not a dirty word, whereas "Jewish" is brite, shiny, pure, and unsullied. Mr. Meyers, don't you have legitimate issues to address?

Seth Meyers is a lazy S.O.B. who works only four nites a week, as does the other lazy late-nite host Jimmy Kimmel. These lazy bastards should be required to work five days a week, like everybody else in the real economy, and even fellow latenite talkshow hosts Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert. It's not as tho they have to slave away dumping smelly trash cans into garbage trucks for 16 hours a day. Their program is ONE HOUR long, and even adding in some time for reading thru the things that WRITERS would have them say, and even if they participate in writing sessions (and I don't know whether they do or do not), and even if they have to rehearse — but why would they? they read from a f* TELEPROMPTER!, don't they? — their "workday" is hugely less than the standard seven or eight hours that everybody else, Americans living in the real world, works. NBC should tell Meyers, and ABC should tell Kimmel, to work their half-day FIVE NITES a week, or look for work elsewhere, because they will be FIRED.

As for the whole "Jew" / "Jewish" megilla / mishegoss, we have here the famous "distinction without a difference". Is Seth Meyers' personally rich and hugely overpaid life (Meyers is reported to make over $3 million a year, for a workWEEK of, what, 16 hours?) so lacking in substance that he has to FABRICATE issues? Apparently Meyers thinks the word "Jew" has (to cite the Wikipedia article linked to above) "connotations associated with it that one party to an argument prefers to avoid". So, little Mister Meyers, you think that "Jew" is a dirty word, do you? That's on YOU, not Kayla Moore.
