Britt is as phony as Joe Biden is real
It was baked in that Saturday Night Live would use Alabama Sen. Katie Britt’s “absurdly overdramatic” SOTU performance as it’s cold open. My problem with SNL’s sketch? “Bless his heart” Britt will probably just be flattered that SNL asked Scarlett Johansson to play her.
“What was the point of that nonsense?” The American Conservative asked, descrbing Britt’s appearance as a ” hyper-emotional speech that verged from creepy to hormonal to giddy within the span of twenty minutes.” It’s a wonder SNL did not just replicate Britt’s address almost word-for-word, as Tina Fey once did in mocking Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
But The American Conservative‘s response to Biden’s SOTU was just as bizarre, judging it a declaration of war on half the country while calling Biden a liar and Britt “authentic.”
Judge for yourself which of the likely 2024 presidential candidates is the kind of authentic you want sitting in the Oval Office.
The American Conservative declares the SOTU a tradition draped in “pseudo-monarchic pomp” and out of character for “a country that defines itself against hereditary hierarchy,” yet “arch-feudal in spirit.” On that, we agree. Especially regarding conservatives who yearn for an emotionally stunted child-king.
