Ben Shapiro on Wanda Sykes: "spouting leftist Hallmark cards cribbed from Democratic Underground"
Caution: Lil' Ben-Ben gets his tighty whities ALL in a bunch over Wanda. You'll either laugh your ass off or get really pissed off...maybe both...if you read the whole "opinion piece."

Wanda Sykes’ Gutless Performance
by Ben Shapiro



http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bshapiro/2009/05/11/wanda-sykes-gutless-performance/

Hollywood’s favorite phrase is “speaking truth to power.” It charts just above “She/he is the love of my life,” “Though we’re not together anymore, we’ll remain good friends,” and “Hey, where did I leave my underwear?”

Hollywood slings around the phrase “speaking truth to power” as if it were cocaine at a Sean Penn movie premiere party. And they particularly love slinging it around at the time of the White House Correspondents Dinner.

A couple years ago, Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central was the beneficiary of the “speaking truth to power” Hollywood press machine. He headlined the 2006 White House Correspondents Dinner, and laid ‘em in the aisles with brilliant lines like, “Over the last five years, you people were so good-over tax cuts, WMD intelligence, the effect of global warming. We Americans didn’t want to know, and you had the courtesy not to try to find out. … And then you write, Oh, they’re just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. First of all, that is a terrible metaphor. This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring. If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!”

Yes, when you’re a leftist, spouting leftist Hallmark cards cribbed from Democratic Underground counts as humor.

Nothing.

Wanda's been funny longer than you've been waiting for puberty to end.

When you're Ben Shapiro, funny will always be a mystery.

16. wow, he's a really poor writer
Having spent the last several hours grading student papers, I'm afraid can't get past the fourth paragraph of this.

I'm sure the content sucks, too.

25. I'd lay money on the fact that he's writing on DU from his "sleeper cell"...
...I don't think he'd be content with simply lurking. Weasels like that like to get in and stir the pot.

30. No way. They're the ones who've been booted off after three posts several times....
then they learn to hold it in for months and months until that one single topic that makes them completely insane, then they go off like Krakatoa. Unfortunately, I rarely get to see it. We should have a museum.

On a brighter note, how many searches for "Democratic Underground" did lil' Ben inspire today? As usual, the wingers prove themselves to be complete idiots by shooting themselves in the foot while helping DU edumacate the citizenry. I'm usually a critic of NCLB, but it seems to have worked well for Ben.

Oh, and I hereby give Wanda full permission to use, riff or plagiarize directly anything I've ever written on DU about Republics, Dumbya, Dick and the whole gang. She wouldn't be the first (and won't be the last) to use DU as a source.

23. Well, check out the bio for Ben Shapiro on breitbart
http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/author/bshapiro/
Ben Shapiro
Ben Shapiro was born in 1984. He entered UCLA at the age of 16 and graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in June 2004 with a BA in Political Science. He graduated Harvard Law School cum laude in June 2007.

Shapiro was hired by Creators Syndicate at age 17 to become the youngest nationally syndicated columnist in the U.S. His columns are printed in major newspapers and websites including Townhall.com, ABCNews.com, WorldNetDaily.com, Human Events, FrontPageMag.com, FamilySecurityMatters.com, the Riverside Press-Enterprise and the Conservative Chronicle. His columns have also appeared in the Christian Science Monitor, Chicago Sun-Times, Orlando Sentinel, Honolulu Star-Advertiser, RealClearPolitics.com, Arizona Republic, and Claremont Review of Books, among others. He has been the subject of articles in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Associated Press, and Christian Science Monitor; he has been quoted on “The Rush Limbaugh Show,” “The Dr. Laura Show,” at CBSNews.com, in the New York Press, in the Washington Times, and in The American Conservative magazine, among many others.

The author of the national bestsellers, Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America’s Youth (WND Books, May 2004), Porn Generation: How Social Liberalism Is Corrupting Our Future (Regnery, June 2005), and Project President: Bad Hair and Botox on the Road to the White House (Thomas Nelson, 2008), Shapiro has appeared on hundreds of radio and television shows around the nation, including “The O’Reilly Factor” (Fox News), “Fox and Friends” (Fox News), “In the Money” (CNN Financial), “DaySide with Linda Vester” (Fox News), “Scarborough Country” (MSNBC), “The Dennis Miller Show” (CNBC), “Fox News Live” (Fox News Channel), “Glenn Beck Show” (CNN), “Your World with Neil Cavuto” (Fox News) and “700 Club” (Christian Broadcasting Network), “The Laura Ingraham Show,” “The Michael Medved Show,” “The G. Gordon Liddy Show,” “The Rusty Humphries Show,” “The Lars Larson Show” (nationally syndicated), “The Larry Elder Show,” The Hugh Hewitt Show,” “The Dennis Prager Show,” among others.


He has "been quoted" on Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Laura! A Regenery author! And his TV credits!

Note to Ben - nothing is more passe than a "former child prodigy" who still banks on that rep way beyond childhood. "Winner, Pinewood Derby" needs to be dropped from cvs at some point.

Try a real job someday, Ben. Find out what it's like to do something besides write whatever shit pops into your head.
