I thought Jim Gaffigan did a fine job and was funny.  However he may have just lost all of his future comedy specials on Netflix, or jobs in TV. 

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Major drama within the Kamala Harris campaign this morning. A source reveals that Harris screamed at and angrily berated her campaign manager Julie Chavez for over 30 minutes on the phone this morning.

The source shares that Chavez advised Kamala not to attend the Al Smith dinner because it could send the wrong message and risk alienating LGBTQ and pro-abortion voters if she was seen cozying up to Catholics.

Instead Chavez suggested a compromise of sending in the poorly-received video in lieu of an in-person appearance.

Chavez was in tears during the phone call as Kamala shred her to pieces, called her an idiot, inept, horrible at your f-ing job, and told her that her stupid advice is going to be the reason she loses.

The joy is gone.

Just my two cents. I watched the entire event and meh ... it was ok.  Trump wasn't all that funny and at times it seemed more like a campaign speech than a lighthearted speech at a fundraiser.  Kamel's video was absolutely shameful.

Whoever’s idea this was either does not understand Catholics or does not understand the Al Smith Dinners theme of candidates roasting each other not roasting Catholics.

Harris is an atheist, so why would she comprehend anything about religions or religious belief.

ANd despite her cackling at thing that are not funny, I doubt she could say something, even something scripted for her, that would come off as funny and have folks laughing.

I tell you all, she is missing something, and that is the primary reason after spending $100 million, she did not make it to the Iowa caucus in 2020.

HARRIS IS AN EMPTY SUIT.  TOTALLY EMPTY!!!

Insults have no place at a Catholic fundraiser period.  It was inappropriate.

How is it that you don't know the difference between kidding around and downright insulting someone that's cringeworthy @Right_in_Virginia
