Somehow, grovelling just seems to suit Kathy Shaidle, doesn't it?
If everyone who comes to this blog every day...
bought a copy of my book Acoustic Ladyland...
I could blog full-time for the rest of the year.
Just sayin'...
Similarly, Kathy, if you weren't such an ugly, racist, homophobic douchebag, then people who weren't ignorant wingnuts might buy a copy of your book.
I'm just sayin', too.
"Acoustic Ladyland: Kathy Shaidle Unfucked." Coming soon to the $1.95 remainder bin at a carwash near you.
THE UNFUCKABLE HAGITUDE: If you were this homely, I suspect you'd be a bitter old screech harpy by now, too.
OK, OK, POINT TAKEN, that cheap shot at La Shaidle was uncalled for. Of course, if I was a Blogging Tory, I'd quietly erase that part of the post and move on. But that's not how we work here.

I love it when she's insouciant and coquettish like that. It's so endearing in its whimsy. And the "jes' sayin'" adds that touch of folksy charm that is truly the hallmark of an accomplished wordsmith.
Come on. I don't see that physical characteristics have anything to do with the issues. If the reverse were true, quite a few of us would be in trouble.
We can't go off like firecrackers every time some right-wing loon calls Al Gore or Michael Moore fat, and then play the same card with our enemies.
It might be fun, but it ain't cricket.
I see Dawg's policing again...
I think Shaidle already knows how wimpy a lot of liberals and lefties are, Dawg (in fact, it seems to be a source of her resentment from the period when she was a lefty). You don't have to keep reminding her that, when she calls for progressives to be rounded up and shipped to concentration camps, polite objections will be the only challenge she can expect.
Gotta go with the Dawg on this one. Honestly, it's not as though we need more to mock about her than what she actually SAYS, is it?
Me too. And don't ever forget that a woman that men deem "unfuckable" is usually the who one who said "No"
Hey! There are plenty of unfuckable liberals, too. Would you want Warren Kinsella in your bed? It's interesting that the ugly right-wing men don't get the same treatment... Ezra would make some extremely unattractive babies, yet I don't see his fuckableness being impugned so vehemently.
I mean, Kathy is indeed a racist, homophobic douchebag. But ugly? In spirit, obviously. In person? Not relevant.
Like anyone, she'd look nicer if she smiled. Would that be a sign of weakness?
Be it resolved that smiling is not actually possible for right-wing douchebags.
um, it was la schaidle herself who was recently extolling the value of mocking fat kids. apparently it was a character strengthening lesson or some such. she was quite certain that picking on the ugly was a good thing. thus, by her own reasoning, it should be fair to make note of her toad-like countenance. of course it isn't always best to sink to the level of a wretched scraggle-puss like kathy. so, shame on you cc.
and as noted, there are indeed few mentions made of the fuckability of the male bloggers and i agree that that is simply wrong. i believe someone mentioned ezra (and let's just for the sake of argument exclude transactions with professionals) on the open market i'd guess that ol' ezra is about as fucktacularily desirable as any other chubby blowhard that works up a sweat rolling a conservatively thin black sock off of his soft pink foot.
i don't roll that way but i'm sure somewhere, someone has a fetish for skin of translucent white and a paunch keeps the knees in shadow. but in general, ezra's an unfuckable loaf, sort of an older, pissier patrick ross sans mullet.

Seriously, PSA, I've never seen much virtue in setting your bar at, or a nanometer above, the lowest level reached by the folks you despise.
Normally I’d agree with Dawg, et. al., but given that Shaidle is so free with the derogatory insults based on the personal appearance of other people, she’s fair game for the same sort of treatment. Not of course that two wrongs make a right it should be understood. And at the end of the day, it’s what she writes and particularly the vile sentiments she gives life to through her writings that are the truly ugly part of her, not the dumpy façade of someone was most likely scorned and derided by the “mean girls” in high school for being a pathetic loser.
PSA - How could we forget do quickly that insults are good? Thanks for the reminder.
Still, I insist that the dumpy little whore would look better if she were to smile.
Personally I think Five Feet's exterior is almost as ugly as her soul/psyche/inner being/personality.

jeez balbulican, lighten up. i was going for the cheap laugh and answering a valid point raised up thread. men are generally not judged in relationship to their sexual desirability/currency. it was zoe that raised the spectral image of ezra knocking boots. i just took the notion out for a spin.
i'd suggest that there is a hangover effect from the patriarchal and sexually hierarchical assortment of our weird culture. despite progress in the culture at large there are still ingrained responses that lead us to judge women according to their sexual appeal, breeding potential or decorative status. this biased measure seems to apply until the individual is no longer fertile. at that point a new respect, as elder, matron and wise woman can accrue to a person whose talents and intelligence are allowed to exceed their fecundity.
conversely, men are not held to any such strictures and while physically pleasing men are accorded an unearned social status. that status can be usurped by men that display the ability to accumulate power through any of a number of means, academic, economic, physically or through inheritance. in short the double standard still exists, even among progressives, because we haven't re-wired enough of the lizard brain to generate new impulse models and definitions of attractiveness, individual value and worth.
returning to your original point, if schaidle can justify tormenting fat kids then she makes herself fair game. as to where my bar is set, i guarantee there's a lot of air between her standards and mine. i'll admit i make errors and poor choices from time to time, but i'll also argue that i want the best for folks, even those with whom i disagree ideologically. hell, i even hope creepy old ed snell makes a full recovery. though i hope he decides on a new hobby. kathy wants to see harm come to people. she wishes punishment, pain and privation on her enemies. i stick my tongue out and waggle my fingers. there's a difference there, subtle though it may be.
Well, unfuckable is a tad strong.
I mean....there are men out there with extremely bad eyesight and no sense of smell..so...ya.
Shes the one who says its perfectly alright to tease fat kids...I kinda get the feeling that karma came to get her.
So, if we insult Kathy Shaidle for what a twisted lying ugly FAT piece of dung she is, does that mean we'll have less twisted lying ugly FAT pieces of dung because of it?
ironic endorsement is fair play....
