Shit. I’ve got some ‘splainin’ to do….

DAMMIT!!

I was most of the way there!!

But I’ve been told I sound like the voice of Charlie Brown in the christmas peanuts cartoon…

That castrating BITCH!

(I can’t believe we got through a hundred comments and no one made that joke yet. What are you guys doing, working or something?)

Cinnamon will take any excuse to work in a Who reference. Coming soon: “Acid Queen” Hillary Clinton wants to “fiddle about” with your healthcare!

I meant to remark on that line, as well. How exactly would an inability to speak, i.e. being ‘dumb’, affect one’s ability to detect anything?

sigh…

1. Lack of a sense of humor.
2. Lack of intelligence.
3. Political or religious views that are way to the right.

I could never, ever play James Carville’s role. Maybe that makes me an idealogue, I don’t know. But I’ll take a smart, funny sammich addicted Lefty any day over Mel Gibson.

Your assurance of only the very worst!

“detected” and “emanating” = It Pays to Increase Your Word Power-esque vocab-flaunting. Puh-leeze.

She’s a “writer” you’ll never read anywhere except online.

He didn’t sit in his chair so much as absorb it, his weary frame adopting the loose and somewhat angular construction of a young Mick Jagger or a Blue Heron. And while his body silently recounted the long days and nights of a serious political campaign, his eyes seemed to barely contain the rambunctious joi de vivre of Pee Wee Herman on a Sugar Smacks bender.

I asked ‘Jamil’ if he had one message that people should hear. He lazily shook a packet of NutraSweet and hummed a few bars of Al Green as he thought about his answer. Then, he leaned back in his chair and said, “If you do not vote for Hillary Clinton I will Kill you! KILL YOU!! You and all your family!!”

“Kill us?”

“Yes, kill you!! Wait, is that going in the book? I don’t think I… no, never mind. .. go ahead and quote me on that.”

He seemed to be in another place for a moment, his jaw working quietly as he picked up the Al Green song again.

Jerry: Not conversion. You’re thinking conversion?

Elaine: Well it did occur to me.

Jerry: You think you can get him to just change teams? He’s not going to suddenly switch sides. Forget

about it.

Elaine: Why? Is it irrevocable?

Jerry: Because when you join that team it’s not a whim. He likes his team. He’s set with that team.

Elaine: We’ve got a good team.

Jerry: Yeah, we do. We do have a good team.

Elaine: Why can’t he play for us?

frankly, i would hit it really hard, with my fist in its face. but still, the double standard suggests that others are right, and this is just pointless sexism that isn’t even as funny as other stuff on the thread.

One can easily imagine a universe in which reasonable people disagree about the attractiveness of Michelle Malkin. There is no such universe* in which the same can be said of Dafydd ab Hugh.

* “No such universe” unless said universe contains an excess of self-loathing and outre fetishes, to be specific.

“I would still do her” (and all that implies) makes you who say it at least the equivalent of the wingnut you would do.

I dunno, men are pigs. If the point is that her worth as a person or the value of her ideas can be judged by her photo, then yeah, we may as well be wingnuts.

At least from my end, they are two almost totally unrelated conversations. Maybe the “would you do her?” line of commentary shouldn’t even be here at all, on a snarky blog about wingnut writers, since it has no bearing on her or her writing.

But the thing is, her writing DOES have some bearing on her “doability”. Sometimes there is just something about “sleeping with the enemy”, so to speak. Evolutionary drive to cross-pollinate? Misogynist fantasy of conquering through sex (as a ritual substitute for violent force?) Who knows? I’m not dehumanizing her and all other women any more than sammich jokes dehumanize all fat people. It is just this additional reaction, sort of on the side.

Should I, and the other meathead boys keep that to ourselves? Probably. Does it make us just as bad as the warmongering, racist, sexist, theocratic homophobes? C’mon now.

Serious question here. Can we name conservative writers who aren’t wackaloons? Wackaloonyism is one of the defining characteristics of the field, after all.
