  1. While Bess Kalb might be a great comedy writer, she negates the effect of her rhetoric by mocking some truly good people. While VP Pense leaves a lot to be desired, his wife should be off bounds. She’s a proverbial beacon of light in this Trump love fest. A woman unafraid to tell it like it is. Bess, you might want to wait a few years to mock someone’s physical attributes. It could be you.
