I have to get used to it, but it already tastes like more: Angela de Jong, who, as the bumping woman of that big army, “simple citizens” (her words) politicians attaques in talk shows. On Tuesday evening she was at Pauw & De Wit to chat about the Sonja Barend Award who, according to her, has to go to Tijs van den Brink because of his complete oeuvre, but also secretly also to make the lives of Frans Timmermans a bit more acidic on behalf of millions of ordinary mortals.
You could say that we as a country are now in the final phase. Looking for the average, we will always come to Angela de Jong again, whether or not we want. Angela de Jong uses her limitation and that turns out to be a deadly weapon. Everything she says and how she looks at it is of a straightforwardness that every resident of a cauliflower district recognizes. There is always a neighbor in between who ventilates such a lot that you leave it out of your head to interrupt him/her.
I have resigned myself to her comprehensiveness and I recommend that everyone do the same. Since then it strikes me how many talk programs there are not. Let her start in all talk shows with all party leaders, she is always right, so the party leader who comes out with the best mood has won the elections. In passing, she can go through the television nicely, but I think there is also a good football analyst living in her head.
Angela de Jong uses her limitation and that turns out to be a deadly weapon
Angela de Jong is our own accident, it has been on the wrong side of the road for years, but at the same time she is not afraid of a collision. Her reasoning: I have the fog lights on, they see me coming, right? Frans Timmermans drove with his truck right onto Angela’s family tray, funny how he makes estimation error on estimation error. As if he has just had his driver’s license while he has been on the road for years.
The fairy tale that we started to call Angela de Jong is only finished when she is going to wear responsibility herself. Make its Minister of Algemeen Dagblad, a comprehensive ministry that monitors the will of the people, preferably with state visits because they don’t know her yet. Let her take our cunt policy out there. This arch -conservative woman who explains sitting on a bag of grain in Sudan that it is no longer possible because otherwise the mortgage interest will be in danger.
But let her run a culture room to put a long way on waste. I think she can do that on behalf of everyone: walking through museums and making a shill between beautiful and ugly art.
