Gateway Dumbshit: False Equivalence, The Other White Meat

It’s a full-on celebration this weekend of false equivalence over at The Gateway Dumbshit. First, Hoft slathered himself up in Crisco and outrage over how unfair it was that Anthony Weiner wasn’t being treated exactly like Mark Foley because the two situations were exactly the same (much in the same way that Hoft’s weiner is exactly the same thing as a cold hot dog, except, of course, smaller, limper and colder).

Now Hoft has started flinging boogers from his nose because Tracy Morgan apologized for his gay rant but not for saying that Sarah Palin was “good masturbation material.” Again saying that you would stab your son if he were gay and saying that you think Sarah Palin is hot enough to wank to are completely and absolutely the same thing.

Now I’m beginning to wonder, seriously, how Hoft hasn’t killed himself yet by confusing household bleach and orange juice. I guess so far he’s just been lucky and wonders why all his underwear has turned a dull, orangish shade of yellow.

I agree with him. Tracey Morgan ought to apologize for putting the image of Sarah Palin alongside fapping…

Also, I thought one of the major pointers in Palin’s favor for the right-wing nutbags was the appeal to that sexually-repressed-but-you-know-she-needs-it hot librarian/soccer mom urge. I mean, at least I can understand that motivator, unlike them trying to sell me on they’re only into her for the articl- I mean, issues.

Everyone here should donate whatever you can to her PAC, it’s the least we can do to compensate.

And she really needs the money.

I actually agree that Tracy Morgan should apologize for saying that Palin is great wanking material That is absolutely disgusting. On the other hand, I am not sure that Hoft does not confuse the OJ and bleach (or perhaps antifreeze). It would rather explain the quality of his “thinking.”

I don’t think that their “petards” are capable of hoisting, or much else.

Texas Republicans– gotta love ’em.

Sounds like Rep. Riddle doesn’t want to go through rehiring any nannies or groundskeepers.

 
 

The word petard comes from the Middle French peter, to break wind, from pet expulsion of intestinal gas, from Latin peditum, from neuter of peditus, past participle of pedere, to break wind; akin to Greek bdein to break wind. (Merriam-Webster) Petard remains a French word meaning a firecracker today (in French slang, it means a handgun, or a joint).

The word remains in modern usage in the phrase hoist with one’s own petard, which means “to be harmed by one’s own plan to harm someone else” or “to fall into one’s own trap,” literally implying that one could be lifted up (hoist, or blown upward) by one’s own bomb.

The etymology seems particularly appropriate here, with the suggestion that wingnuts go bankrupt donating their money to Sarah Palin.

on the subject of the Gateway Dipshit (and this is genuine question), does any grown men actually wear vests anymore? I still see them for sale in mens stores, but I have never seen anyone buying them?

 
 

In all my time in this wretched Godforsaken country, the one thing that has appalled me most of all this this prepostrous preoccupation with bosoms. Don’t you realize they have become the dominant theme in American culture: in literature, advertising and all fields of entertainment and everything. I’ll wager you anything you like that if American women stopped wearing brassieres, your whole national economy would collapse overnight!

 
 

wear vests anymore?

Ah, what we in these United Snakes (& maybe Canada) call undershirts. In a humid climate like Hoft’s St. Louis, it’s not that bad a move.

I’m sure his mommy buys them for him, though.

Late response, exford, but the non-smoking is going great for everyone last I heard. tsam is passed the 1-month mark, I’m at 3-1/2 weeks and bbfk is only a day or two behind me. Can’t speak for everyone, but as for myself, I’m not even finding myself thinking I’d like to have a cigarette or being triggered by anything to want to smoke. I’m sure that would be different if I went out for drinks, so I haven’t done that. Also, I’m sure the e-cigarette is helping with the oral fixation as well as nicotine addiction, but I’m only using it half as much as I did when I first quit, and have just cut down the nicotine level as well…should be done with the crutch within the next month.

I’m curious as to health/other improvements my fellow quitters have noticed, though. As for myself, within a few days I was no longer waking up in the night coughing or coughing up crud in the mornings and not waking up with sinus inflammation every morning; within 2 weeks was not getting winded from walking for more than a few minutes, and my sense of smell has greatly improved. Also, since I went out of town for a week and a half after the first 10 days of the quit, and left out dishes of apple cider vinegar, the smoke stink is gone from the house, though the car still smells like a giant ashtray.

Have not experienced any increase in appetite or weight gain either, so for me, it’s all good.

Hey Jennifer; Well done!

Health: I’m feeling MUCH better. The increase in energy is noticeable, and I’m no longer waking up coughing an clearing my lungs at night.

I have had tons of beer since I quit and managed to dissociate drinking with smoking. It has now become a way of dealing with the cravings, which I hope doesn’t have negative consequences later. That remains to be seen, however.

I have gained weight, but whatever. I was pretty thin before, so I have room for some padding. I’ll suffer through that and get myself on a better exercise program. I joined the YMCA again this week, so an exercise regimen is just days from being built. I think I’m going to do yoga too. My daughters are laughing at me, but I’m hoping I can embarrass them to death by taking yoga with them-HA!

 
 

Now it matches his teeth.

Thus, we know how his teeth became that repulsive color.

I rode my bicycle 122 miles on Saturday. Since it was up and down the hills of western Dane county, and I took some stops, it took me 12 hours. It was quite a day for wildlife, I saw like 12 different kinds of birds, 5 deer, a woodchuck and assorted livestock. I only got charged by one ferocious hound, (luckily there was an invisible fence that stopped him from getting to me). The unseasonably cool weather was very nice for spending all day on the bike.

Without a doubt, she’s been subjected to the most biased media coverage in modern political history; enough to leave even the most thick-skinned of candidates shivering in the fetal position on the side of the road.

Fixt for historical accuracy. Sarah Palin is the legacy of corporatist media and a shining symbol of the decay of our educational system.

It’s sadly ironic that she invokes the founding fathers (despite having a grade school level understanding of their philosophies on government) but their free press and free speech doctrines were designed specifically to counter people like her. If the free press were working the way it’s supposed to, Sarah Palin would be just another frustrated soccer mom trying to seduce her daughters’ boyfriends. Now she’s a frustrated soccer mom who has managed to seduce an entire media enterprise.

Actually, it is beginning to look more and more like there is an actual equivalence between Foleygate and Weinergate (well, except for, as far as we know, Weiner hasn’t been harassing his teenage assistants, but who knows what we’ll learn next about Weiner) … and whaddyaknow — Weiner is being subjected to exactly (well maybe not, see below) the same treatment as Mark Foley.

So much for Hoft’s thesis. And actually, I’d still say Weiner is getting it worse (because he’s a Democrat, because his last name is pronounced wiener, etc.): did Mark Foley have so many Republicans come out so early trying to force him to resign? I certainly don’t remember the media being as saturated with Foley as it is with, well, Weiner.

And anyway … I live in Weiner’s district. When he was elected, he had a reputation as an egomaniacal horn-dog and exactly the sort of person who would be sending pictures around of his junk. Did Foley have a reputation when he was elected? It wasn’t as if we didn’t know who we were getting when we (well not me personally) voted him in, instead of, for example, the very private, friendly and down-to-earth Melinda Katz (yes, full disclosure, I do know her personally).

Fixxed for accuracy:

“right after she and John McCain had lost the election to the most under-vetted and media-aided Democratic candidate in modern American history .”

Yeah sure GWB, et al, (heck even John McCain, who was quite the media darling) were far more media aided and under-vetted than Obama, but from what I remember, during the campaign (and before hand, e.g. when he became a Senator), the media were far friendlier to Obama than they were to pretty much any other Democrat to the left of Kent Conrad (including, for what it’s worth, President — as opposed to candidate — Obama).

Perhaps, though, I should have known better than to support Obama precisely because the media did seem to like him a bit too much. OTOH, he actually seemed to have the most experience relevant to the job position (which is, after all, chief executive, and Obama actually did have experience getting people organized to get stuff done as, well, a community organizer) and he sure could give a nice speech (as opposed to most Democrats who seem to have flunked Cadence 101).

Alas, his media-friendly tendency to reflexively see “both sides of the issue”, not clearly state his positions and otherwise tack center is destroying his presidency — and I don’t just say that as a flaming liberal … I mean practically: Candidate Obama seemed to intuitively understand that if you show some backbone even if people don’t agree with you, they respect you. President Obama seems not to have learned that and because he fails to actually state his position clearly before stating how he’d like to compromise, people don’t know what he believes, don’t trust him and let their racism make them fear the worst.

I presume your parents live in Brooklyn or southern Queens then? Even though Weiner also has close ties to Central Queens, the general feeling around my neck of the woods is that Weiner views himself primarily as representing the southern half of his district and generally ignores us. So, I guess we are always ready to believe the worst of him.

which is one of the things that totally irritate me about that show and much other entertainment…young hot skinny wife with old fat oaf…why can the men be so unattractive, but they always make sure the wife is an hottie?

 
 

That Ziegler article reminded me of the Thomas Sowell column in the Washington Times wherein Sowell pooh-poohed the existence of the crime of “driving while black,” and then listed all the times he had been stopped for no good reason. But, when I went to the archives, I got this from the Moonie Times:

“That story has been removed from the site. Every so often, we are forced to remove stories from our site. We’re sorry but you just happened to request one of them…”

 
 

I presume your parents live in Brooklyn or southern Queens then?

Forest Hills.

One of the great things about writing is that you can bring you wishes and desires to life, in a way.

 
 

I have to admit that I am a little confused by the animosity towards Ron Paul. I have read that he is a racist (he wrote an article/column for a racist publication some years ago), wishes to destroy SSI and Medicare and Medicaid, etc., things that he would certainly see some pushback on….

I try to keep an open mind, i.e.,am willing to be schooled, since I am no expert in politics or politicians, or anything else for that matter (except maybe the work I retired from several years ago). I saw this list of items Ron Paul focused on in a speech recently:

1. Stop the Wars & Occupations
2. Make large cuts in the Military and CIA
3. End CIA Renditions/Torture, and the “Patriot Act”
4. Stop NAFTA, GATT, CAFTA
5. Stop bailing out Wall Street crooks
6. Expose the (Federal Reserve’s) frauds and hidden giveaways
7. End the Drug War
8. Support government whistle blowers

IMO, Pres Obama could strengthen his campaign platform by adopting this same list…..

 
 

N__B … I wonder if I know your parents then. That is my neck of the woods. Most people I know, though, are not big fans of Anthony (couldn’t say “not big fans of Weiner”), even those who agree with him politically.

So Hollywood writers all wish they were fat and unattractive? It explains Breitbart, I guess…

83 and 81, argumentative. She just had a hip replaced and is on a walker, he’s a big guy (still) with a cane. They won’t shut up about their idiot sons and fantastic granddaughter and grandson.

 
 

Oh, and they don’t give a damn with pols about anything except voting record and public speeches/comments.

Musta been because Obama invited the press to so many barbecues.

That sounds like just about everyone over the age of 75 who lives in Forest Hills. 😉

If they go to my shul (assuming they are Jewish), they will know me as the “red headed kid married to the black lady with the oh-so-cute daughter … isn’t she adorable? and so smart … and so well-mannered … and so tall for her age! could you believe she’s only 5 1/2? such a doll … “

Hardcore atheists.

If you’re from NY, what high school did you go to?

Well, the current top article on his site is headlined thus:

Restore America Now: End the Fed, Stop the Wars, Abolish the Income Tax!

I guess with Ron Paul you have to decide whether or not letting your own folks die on the street balances the foreigners bombed.

If you’re from NY, what high school did you go to?

I’m not originally from NY. Part of the reason why I wrote “not me personally” was that in, 1998, I was actually still in Sunny So Cal (where I grew up).

My wife is (mainly) an NY girl (even if she was born in south FL). She went to Bayside High.

 
 

Bayside High.

Ha! I was zoned for Bowne, but didn’t go there.

In defense of leftsist lie-beral Hollywood or wherever they film teevee sitcoms nowadays – you ever try to find an unattractive teevees actress? Even the “plain” ones have Pilates hardened bodies and cantilevered zero-gravity b00bs.

Not to sound all Haterade-drinky and party pooper-y or anything, but surgery and make-up helps an AWFUL LOT.

Helps what?

 
 

you know what the only downfall to my not smoking is? i no longer have the incentive to drive downtown and run my errands…i always at least had the chance to have a smoke or two while out and about…now my only satisfaction is that i am performing my job…

It’s not what it used to be, most of the old gang succumbed to Type 2 Diabetes.

 
 

And even she has been liposuctioned and had a nosejob an numerous other surgeries.

Like Powerball, it’s one of the few fantasies that keep us old, fat guys from offing ourselves en masse.

To be a little too generous to the “hot wife, ugly husband” thing on sitcoms: Have any of you seen Christina Hendricks’ husband? What the hell happened there?

Also, too, has anybody else noticed that Anthony Weiner’s last name is a slang term for penis?

I’d assume most of them would already have hung up.

I think it is fair to say that “the most under-vetted and media-aided candidate in modern American history” did indeed cost McCain the election.
