Re: &quot;blah&quot;, I think it depends, like everything, on context.
The universe of offensive &quot;misstatements&quot; and subsequent walkbacks is quite large, and is fertile ground for snark. A neatly placed &quot;blah&quot; can still be quite effective in such a context.
it&#039;s pretty amazing. when i read walsh&#039;s crap, i realize all the secret / sotto voce things old white bigots (my 83 year old drunk uncle, jimmy kimmel&#039;s crazy aunt, pat buchanan...) have been saying in private since like the 60&#039;s are now - for the right - fullly expressed and out there and ok to say.

The really amazing thing about Walsh? Some agreed to mate with him.
&quot;Let me buy you a cup of dick, Joe.&quot;
Well, that was nice! Who doesn&#039;t like a horrible shit-print splatted on history?
