Fox News Really Hates Laurie Kilmartin, But They Really Love Life
Laurie made a joke about abortion on MSNBC and now Sean Hannity, Lara Trump and especially Pam Bondi really hate her for it. Here’s the joke: “I would like to find out who the leaker is, so I could make sweet love to that person, because that person is a hero to me. Ok? And if the leaker — a lot of people are saying it could be a conservative — if the leaker is a Republican, and if I get pregnant during our lovemaking, I will joyfully abort our fetus, and let them know.”
Former Florida AG Pam Bondi lost her shit. Sean, that foul and vulgar comedian is a zero. She is–she shouldn’t have been on TV. She’s trying to – for shock value – save a failing career. She’s also a woman who had mocked God in a stand-up comedian skit she did. So, she’s a zero. The host laughed. He encouraged her. He laughed at what she said. NBC, they need to come out and say how horrible what she said on TV, on national TV was. This was a news show, an alleged news show where she came out and said these things. She’s, she’s horrible. She’s a nothing.”
They say if a joke just reaches one person, it’s a success.

Mulaney Mocks Mayor
John Mulaney made fun of the Mayor of New York City at a charity event while Adams was in the audience. The comedian targeted the mayor for being too hard on minor crimes like selling mangos in the subway, while doing little about skyrocketing major violent crimes.

No guns, no crime, no barbecues on the subway! Better schools, better transportation, no more volleyball games on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway!”
Careful Johnny, comedians get attacked these days.
