The fright factor is what she said. It’s the typical uninformed, unedited, ass-kissing, sycophantic behavior we’ve come to expect from yes-men, and women working for the Bush/Cheney war machine who couldn’t identify an Iranian if she/he were at a lutefisk-eating contest in a Lutheran church in St. Paul, MN. Thinking was not part of the equation here. Had even some of that occurred, she would have kept her mouth shut and her ass in a chair, unless she had just announced “dinner is served” – that which she is possibly qualified to say. But no, she “thought” she’d make an impression, and so out came this ridiculous racist hate speech. I guess that Pollyanna pose is meant to soften her vitriol. This level of stupidity AND ignorance is inexcusable and she should be immediately fired, with prejudice.

Obviously a sex slave to some repulicun mucky muck – cronyism! She has all the hallmarks of a wannabe dominatrix too – a confused image to say the least. Being British myself she reminds me of the post punk era when new wave sourced style and commotion from bad disco movies and porn, wishing for validity – when there was only jaw dropping aghastement. Sometimes America leaves me shaking my head wondering why shit floats along with the cream.- a fatal flaw.

Was it really necessary to insult the Desert Fox by comparing whatever the hell that is in the picture to him? Honestly. And what is it with our fascists not having the slightest aesthetic sensibility at all? For real. At least the Nazis were totally fashion-savvy.

There was indeed an Atrios link to this, Djur. His mighty reach is far and wide.

And yeah, I don’t recognize a lot of these names, myself.

Y’all are making me retroactively regret all the times I mocked PC weenies like Chris Clarke and Ampersand for crying “lookism.”

Chris Clarke is a PC weenie? He cries “lookism”? News to me.

Hell, all I recall from Ampersand was an offhand remark about being displeased by a cheap joke about a big fat dude. Seemed within the normal range of friendly discussion to me, but certain people around these parts tend to fart up a frantic shitstorm at the merest hint of a “circular firing squad.”

You really should consider your reaction to this thread in the future whenever you’re considering scoffing at some PC weenie. You may even want to consider jettisoning the right-wing poison pill that is the term “politically correct” altogether and making specific criticism of specific behaviors within a non-adversarial framework.

If person X makes a statement that observer Y finds unpleasant, and Y says as much, for person X to respond with an accusation of “PC” or “identity politics” is an escalation of the situation. It makes it more likely that Y will respond by labelling X in a similar manner. That’s what ended up happening in the sammich incident.

In S,N!’s defense, I don’t recognize any of the ‘tranny this’, ‘she/he that’ troglodytes on this thread. Presumably there was a link from Kos or Atrios or the like.

Oh, come on, people! I’ve read this entire thread and not one of you – NOT ONE– found this.

Coincidence? I think NOT!

Come on, sing it with me, softly so it feels like praying:

And I ran
I ran so far away ay ay.
And I ran
I ran both night and day
ay ay.

But you’re not home,

Your heart sweats,

Can we stop making fun of the way this chick looks now, please? Y’all are making me retroactively regret all the times I mocked PC weenies like Chris Clarke and Ampersand for crying “lookism.”

I didn’t even know I HAD sensibilities to offend, but this thread’s like a frat party, albeit one in which the brothers oppose Social Security privatization.

Anyone remember a great old movie called “Start the Revolution Without Me”? There’s a scene in which the King of France is told by his scheming wife that they are attending a costume ball that evening, so the king puts on this gloriously fabulous chicken outfit and regally walks down the grand staircase into the ballroom. As he’s descending into the crowd, he looks around him and discovers that no one else is dressed in costume and realizes that his wife is trying to make him look pathetically insane and incompetent.

You think maybe the same thing happened to Ms. Cagan?
