Soup, the manliest food
A Fox News host’s rules for masculinity were mocked, but one went too far
Idon’t know how to explain Fox News host Jesse Watters to regular people with good hearts and heads screwed on tight, as the saying goes.
I have so many friends and family who are busy with their lives — stressful jobs, family dinners, weekend hikes, movie dates, church choir rehearsals, etc. I don’t bring up Jesse Watters with them because they’d look at me as if I asked if they’d seen Sasquatch.
“Who?” they’d inquire, and I’d have to explain there’s this guy on cable news who says things that are supposed to make a particular group of people — mostly men who wear their sunglasses on their heads like tiaras — feel good about themselves at the expense of others.
His name is Jesse Watters, and he has the confidence of a country club tennis coach and the wit of a dive bar drunk who can handle only beer or wine. He’s rich and famous and has no idea I exist. He annoys me, and I admit that is entirely my problem.
Recently, he said something so outrageous that I gave myself little choice but to angrily type these little internet words you’re reading. This happened last week? Unless I hallucinated it.
