What she said. #nailedit your average Hollywood bigshot is no more knowledgeable or interesting on the great issues of our time than my great aunt Gladys. My take on why @rickygervais got it right. https://t.co/GZvtAQRCjR— Kay Hymowitz (@KayHymowitz) January 7, 2020 What he said. #nailedit 1. Simply pointing out whether someone is left or right wing isn't winning the argument. 2. If a joke is good enough, it can be enjoyed by anyone.3. It's not all about you. 4.
