Samantha Bee
a former correspondent
for Jon Stewart
on "The Daily Show"
last night premiered
her weekly show "Full Frontal" on TBS.
With her debut
she has become
the first woman
on American television
to host a late-night show
taking witty aim
at both Hillary Clinton's
and Bernie Sanders'
(as it is true
that despite their respective merits
they are still politicians)
claims to authenticity.
But as the ultimate test
of her inheritance
to the hosting throne
this poet proposes
that her next topic
be comparing Bernie Sanders
and his vocal condemnation
of sexist "Bernie Bros"
to Donald Trump
and his endorsement through repetition
of a New Hampshire voter's assessment
of Ted Cruz
as a certain part
of female anatomy.
