What is wrong with me?

Perhaps you wonder the same thing that I do: How do these people manage to figure out their way home after work, let alone be a viable political movement.

Sorry, there’s like a quarter to a third of the nation that is permanently and absolutely bat-sh*t right wing crazy. They will never, ever change. They will maintain a constant subversive niche whatever their numbers, and sometimes you can add another quarter or so to their numbers via mass manufactured propaganda and election stealing techniques, and you got yourself 4 – 8 years of hurt.

And yet, every woman I know hates Sarah Palin’s guts. My mom — sweetest woman alive, first person to volunteer to do anything — hates this woman on a gut level.

Women listen to Rush Limbaugh? Really?

It’s just that K-Lo’s too stupid to believe. Like His Grace, I can’t believe this woman can leave the house without a keeper.

K-Lo listens to Rush religiously, as she does all things.

This election does seem to be getting women riled up — and I’ll guarantee you it’s not simply because Sarah Palin is a chick.

That’s true.

Among the poll’s most dramatic findings: McCain is losing female voters faster than Sarah Palin attracted them after the Republican National Convention. Obama leads McCain by 17 points with women, 55%-38%.

I guess the big thing is that women don’t seem to like being viewed as property.

I prefer this earlier K-Lo on the same topic:

re: Team Sarah [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

A woman e-mails:

“I can only understand one in three sentences,” is the new “Don’t ask me! I’m just a girl!”

Most of my fellow females understand the crisis quite well, but I guess intelligence comes with being an “elitist” instead of an anti-intellectual like Palin.

I don’t think that dialogue is anti-woman or anti-intellectual. I think it’s acknowledging that many hardworking Americans — many who believe Sarah Palin speaks for them — don’t have time to get to the bottom of the mortgage mess and are outraged people who are sent to Washington to have the time let — especially these quasi-government agences like Freddie and Fannie — get so irresponsibly out of control.

And, I do happen to know so very intelligent men and women who simply do not have the time to keep track of how many times we’ve saved AIG or wherever in the last month.

Yesterday, callers to Rush’s show were majority women (I think all but one who made it on the air were women.) – K-Lo

WTF? As opposed to Designing Women?

The editor needs and editor.

I guess the big thing is that women don’t seem to like being viewed as property.

Well, that and the whole since we’ve gone black we ain’t going back thing.

Which is what I thought K-Lo’s “riled” thing was implying, but I’m not fluent in moron so can’t be sure.

You can stop wondering. The “movement” became non-viable some while back. You have noticed, yes?

K-Lo, just stop. Take a month off. A year. Just stop posting.

I guess the big thing is that women don’t seem to like being viewed as property.

Or as stupid, simple creatures who are so easily manipulated that putting a female, any female, on the ticket will compel them all to vote for you.

Crazy c**ts! Who knows what the hell they want?

How can you make her demi-snippet shorter?

Rush Limbaugh carefully screened his callers yesterday to make sure that lots of women got on the air when Sarah Palin called him. That means women all over the country love, love, love Sarah!!!1!1!!! Yay!11!111!!!11

you forgot to add “but it’s not simply because Sarah Palin is a chick”

Who knows what the hell they want?

Well, this particular vagina with legs has simple desires. I want $10 million in small bills, a $100,000 tax-free annuity, and two partners of each primary gender who can take turns boffing me senseless in whatever combination I feel like.

Barring the above, I’ll take “not being pandered to because I have breasts.” But I know which is more likely to happen first.

Rush Limbaugh screened his callers? I am shocked. Shocked! Since women don’t listen to Limbaugh, he must have got his female staffers to paper the house.

I keep going back. What is wrong with me?

(puffs thoughtfully on pipe)… Vell, mine boy, vat you ist zuffering vrum ist vat ve dokktors of zychology calls “Der Masochism”. Ya, dat is, you enjoys der hurting und der pain und der humiliazhion. But don’t vorry, ve can cure you mitt zeveral years of ze expensive analysis. Or just give you der zpanking, if you prefer!

… and yet I keep going back. What is wrong with me?

On the broght side, at least you didn’t start in on Jonah’s latest. Responding to an e-mail response to an earlier post, he says:

First, I didn’t use the word socialist.

That’s true. Here’s the phrase he used instead:

…the “crush the capitalists” crowd…

Then he says:

Who was the last conservative Republican official to call for abolishing the SEC or the FDIC or anything like that? If they exist, I don’t know who they are.

Sure Jonah – deregulation is totally not a Republican thing, I mean a Republican official in favor of deregulation? One that might have even said of himself I am a deregulator. I believe in deregulation. – surely doesn’t exist.

But then he gets to his point:

Where I think the reader’s complaint really falls apart is in his political analysis… the GOP would become a mixture of Jim Webb, Pat Buchanan and Mike Huckabee style populists. This would surely peel off huge numbers of white working class voters.

And then a bunch of nonsense. Umm Jonah, all the Pat Buchanan and Mike Huckabee supporters are already GOP. Your astute reader just pointed out that that is the crowd that would be left. If you took the moneymen out of the GOP all your left with is “guns and religion” (also racism, sexism and closeted homosexuality) If the social conservatives were all that was left of the GOP, the Dems would shift right in order to pick up all them voters who are willing to watch the Pride Parade but not ready to march in it. Regardless, the treasury would still be plus a trillion or so in not having to prop up a rotted financials industry, n’est çe pas?

Don’t worry about being pandered to by any of us. This is a sensitive lefty blog community here, and no one would dream of acting in a boorish or chauvinistic fashion, sweetie.

Or just give you der zpanking, if you prefer!

And here we are, again, right back at The Buttocks. It’s a blessing, and a curse, but definitely a sickness. Assynesthesia, I’m thinking.

Your pander, it is full of WEAK.

Seriously, after 30 years of backlash, you’re going to have to boor a little harder. 🙂

I want $10 million in small bills

I first read this as “I want 10 million small balls” and couldn’t for the life of me understand why anyone wanted 10 million small balls, unless it was to drop them on someone’s (or multiple someones’) head, a la Captain Kangaroo. I’m honestly sort of disappointed it’s actually money. Thought I’d found a kindred spirit.

“What is wrong with me?”
Maybe nothing. It’s like this:
You ever hung around ugly people and instantly felt more attractive?
Well, reading K Lo IQ can’t help but make you feel like The Smartest Person In the World.
Of course the problem is, reading her columns also reminds you that people this stupid EXIST.
Which leaves you feeling depressed.
It’s a vicious circle.

They’re just so stupid. I can’t take reading them much longer… and yet I keep going back. What is wrong with me?

I don’t know, Brad, but if I have to see K-Lo’s sickeningly juvenile face that makes me wince every time, I’ll scream.

Can you cover it with pie or something?

Brad,
First thought is OCD. Second thought is that you are a valiant oyster that filters that shit so that I can dine upon you in a classy restaurant (with Vodka to minimize the residual bacteria).
Either way, thanks bunches.

You know, I have a friend who looks just like that picture of K-Lo. My friend is one of the brightest women I know and she’s really, really cool. K-lo is like her evil twin.

As my mom would say, “Just shows ta go ya.”

It’s the Stupid, Stupid!

Assynesthesia, I’m thinking.

Or maybe just synassthesia.
