What is up with conservatives and their obsession with Bill Clinton’s sex life. Almost 9 years later, we get to read hard hitting analysis like this from conservative-in-liberal-garb law prof, columnist, and blogger Ann Althouse. Can you say anything aside from, “Are you f’ing high???!” Hilzoy lays out how stupid Althouse is.
I have, for the most part, resisted the temptation to make fun of Ann Althouse, mostly because it requires more attention to her site than I am willing to give. But I just can’t let this pass unnoticed. It’s Althouse’s take on Hillary Clinton’s new video (which I found a bit baffling, not having watched The Sopranos), and specifically the bit in which Hillary orders carrots instead of onion rings for Bill:
“Bill says “No onion rings?” and Hillary responds “I’m looking out for ya.” Now, the script says onion rings, because that’s what the Sopranos were eating in that final scene, but I doubt if any blogger will disagree with my assertion that, coming from Bill Clinton, the “O” of an onion ring is a vagina symbol.”
This is a woman who also was also fascinated by the pose of a blogger and author who was standing in front of Clinton in a photograph. Enough so that she implied the woman was a slut, and that Clinton was trying to bed her.
What is WRONG with this woman and the bloggers that link to her approvingly? Are they just crazy or all on the same drugs?
Update: So, Althouse defends herself by claiming it was comedy and that we all fell for her cunning trap of talking about it. I admit to “falling into the vortex” or whatever, but what this means is that she’s either desperate for attention and links, which is sad, or that she’s quite frankly quite unfunny. The point being, Ms. Althouse, you can stop going back to that well. It’s dry. We all got over the Clinton sex jokes a few years ago when it was clear how good a President he was compared to the moron in the White House today.
