Of Sluts and Racists
Of Sluts and Racists
Sluts and racism would seem to be an odd mishmash of topics except that recent news items link them as elements of what’s seriously wrong in America.
SLUT is an ugly word designating a slovenly woman in Britain and a cheap, sexually promiscuous girl or woman in America, what UrbanDictionary.com defines as a skank, whore, and, in the hood, a “hoe” who is “too loose in the booty.” The word is made all the more ugly when we consider President Obama’s call for greater civility in public discourse and is uttered by one of his own, a committed leftist.
A little context: Laura Ingraham is a 47 year old, conservative radio talk show host and conservative political commentator and author of four best-selling books. Did I mention that she’s a conservative?
On the other side of the aisle–at the bottom of a squalid, slimy pit might be a better analogy–lurks MSNBC’s 57 year old, rabid, liberal attack dog and liberal commentator, Ed Schultz, who consistently plumbs the depths of humanity with his observations.
Did I mention Schultz is a liberal?
Anyway, he was talking about the weather the other day on MSNBC’s “The Ed Schultz Show” when he couldn’t resist a total non-sequitur and launched into a Republican-conservative assault accusing his nemeses of insensitivity toward victims of the recent, horrendous floods and tornadoes.
Where or how he came up with that I have no clue anymore than I have a clue as to why he viciously attacked Ms. Ingraham as a “right wing slut . . . yeah, she’s a talk slut.” I guess he didn’t get the Obama civility memo. It’s recommended that the viewer have a disinfectant handy but you can catch Schultz’s mini diatribe here: http://bit.ly/mU1IaO
The MSNBC resident lunatic Schultz is no stranger to controversy. He is also no stranger to incivility. He previously ranted that, “The Republicans lie! They want to see you dead! They’d rather make money off your dead corpse!” and labeled former Vice President Cheney a “dirtbag” who should die and voiced his wish that Glenn Beck would commit suicide and called New Jersey Governor Chris Christie “a fat slob. . .

Democrat Culture of Death
Democrat Culture of Death
. . . Just yesterday, a Democrat candidate for New Hampshire’s state legislature, Keith Halloran, expressed his regret that former Alaska governor Sarah Palin and her almost son-in-law Levi Johnston had perished in the Alaska plane crash which took the life of former senator Ted Stevens and four others: http://tiny.cc/isr1g.
Sick? You betcha, but explicable for the Party of Death, aka the Democrat Party, which wallows in the morbid. While accusing Republicans of being cold-hearted and insensitive louts who want to throw grandma under a bus, in truth, it is they, the Democrats, who feel free to voice death wishes for conservatives and crack funnies about conservatives dying of liver disease and in plane crashes.
It’s a natural inclination for certain people to project their own cheerless and gruesome psyches onto others as a defense mechanism to conceal their own sick and morbid thoughts. . .

Reflections on Polanski, Bubba, and Schultz
Reflections on Polanski, Bubba, and Schultz
Three separate tales of disillusionment:
Polanski Finally Arrested; Frogs, Poles and Lefties Lament:
Poor Roman Polanski, the aging Hollywood darling who for good reason hasn’t visited the Left Coast in decades, is the object of major angst and indignant protests in Poland, France, and of course, Hollywood.
His Hollywood buddies, accustomed as they are to weirdos, are also defending Polanski as one of their own.
The old lecher was arrested in Switzerland when his ego got the better of him and he ignored warnings not to go there since he was scheduled to get an award in Zurich.
Who would think that, after he had hidden out in France for decades and after admitting he drugged and raped a little girl in 1977, that a renouned Academy Award winner would be arrested?
Does an Oscar count for nothing nowadays?
The international protests are punctuated by reminders that the guy is 76 years old so why the big hulabaloo now? His victim, now 45, long ago forgave him for violating her and wants the whole matter dropped.
That Samantha Geimer sued the director and was paid off to keep her mouth shut about her rape is totally inconsequential.
Of far more consequence is the testimony by Polanski’s then main squeeze, Anjelica Huston, that the kid was “sullen.”
Using the she-had-it-coming-to-her defense, Huston testified that Samantha, “appeared to be one of those kind of little chicks between–could be any age up to 25. She did not look like a 13-year-old scared little thing:” http://bit.ly/1bABo.
Of no import is the fact that at least 90% of 13 year old American girls are “sullen” at one point or another and strive to look older, but 25? Anjelica’s perceptions may have been clouded by her affections for Roman and/or by overly imbibing in adult beverages.
Since Anjelica was at the scene of the crime and able to size up Samantha, the question is whether she condoned the rape since the kid was sullen and looked older than 13.
I can sort of understand that facet of the case but I can’t fully understand the consternation in both France and Poland.
France tends to swoon over anyone who signs up for citizenship, even unrepentant reprobates. When its new citizen is Roman Polanski, French authorities get positively livid and would defend him to the death, except, of course, against German invaders.
In Poland’s case, though, advocating for Polanski is much more of a sticky wicket.
Roman Polanski is often referred to as a Polish movie director. In point of fact, Polanski is as Polish as Regis Philbin.
The Jewish-born Roman “Romek” Liebling emigrated to France as a child just before WWII. One would think that being saved from almost certain extinction in the Holocaust would have inspired him to exult in his salvation and turn out films reflecting that exultation.
Instead, Roman Polanski directed Rosemary’s Baby and raped a 13 year old child.
Yet the Poles are up in arms over his arrest so many years after the act, supporting their famous “native son” since there aren’t an awful lot of famous “Polish” movie directors.
The Polish people would be better served by a government more interested in improving their lives and their economy than by a government involved in misplaced hero worship.
Polanski and the planet would be best served if he spent his remaining years in prison.
Bubba Resurrects an Old Canard:
Bubba, Bubba, Bubba. We can understand your envy over the bride’s basking in the limelight but maybe you could exercise some discretion and allow Hillary her moments in the sun?
When you dredge up Hillary’s bizarre “vast right wing conspiracy” theory, you make Americans think you’re either irredeemably mired in your guilt over Monica or that you’ve totally lost your mind.
You may recall that your loving wife invoked that theory way back in 1998 when it was already old; she used it to defend you against charges you were using the Oval Office as a virtual Oral Orifice bordello.
Work on getting some new lines, Billy Boy, instead of rehashing old tripe. . .
