Let us get something out of the way, first: We almost totally agreewith the National Review Online "The Corner" writer who typed this about the Anthony Weiner scandal.
Oh yeah. It's a classic. Maynard's leaves his lunch on the hood of a car which drives off. [laugh track] He jumps up and down in frustration. [laugh track] He stops by Dobie's father's grocery store and asks for some "like grub daddy-o". [laugh track] Dobie's father says "sure, just do some work around the store". Maynard is aghast. "WORK?!?" [laugh track] He grabs a butcher knife and cuts up Dobie's father and starts eating. "He's not as tough as he looks" [big laugh track] Then Maynard carves a swastika in his forehead. [fade out, applause].

OK, I can&#039;t stand him* in the first place. And lately he&#039;s full of this faux outrage about Weiner while displaying fathomless ignorance of on-line culture. &quot;I don&#039;t understand this stuff, but why don&#039;t they spell correctly?!?&quot; Then -- since you don&#039;t watch -- saying Weiner has a disease and needs treatment.
Last night he mis-quoted! the House Ethics Manual then pontificated about how members <i>and news anchors</i> should read and follow it carefully. What a fuckin&#039; idiot. ______________________ * will he ever just shut the fuck up and let his &quot;guests&quot; answer a question? (ans: no)
The latest NYT article (actual journalism; take notes Breitbart!) throws some light on this whole weird episode: Weiner did this A LOT. Whenever some female fan got a bit too gushy, he turned the conversation toward sex and started with the junk shots. Only he knows how far he&#039;d have been willing to take things, but it&#039;s creepy enough for me to want him gone.
<i> it&rsquo;s an offense like the one that used to be popular a generation ago with &ldquo;urban youths,&rdquo;</i>
NRO sure has it&#039;s finger on the pulse of America, doesn&#039;t it?
It&#039;s not even &quot;these kids today,&quot; it&#039;s &quot;those kids 20 years ago&quot;....who are all in their 30s and 40s now. So this was probably written by someone at least in their 50s, maybe older.
If thinking &quot;I&#039;m going to go online and complain about the music kids were listening to <b>20 years ago</b>&quot; doesn&#039;t just make you a cranky old fart, nothing does.
Exactly what the fuck were welfare queens supposed to do with a block of cheese? This was pre-Food Network, so who knew how to weave random ingredients into bison and goat cheese quiche?
I think that may very well have been the high watermark of Wonkette. It certainly was of Newell&#039;s illustrious tenure. Ah, Dame Noonaningtonshire!
&quot;Warts.&quot; I swear that said warts a second ago!
Thank the lord it does not now.
WOW! I had a flashback to a documentary I saw on the History Channel* about Elvis. _______________ * 100% history-free since 2007

And big dicks.
i don&#039;t think the organization that employs kathyn lopez should be talking about &#039;tasteless stupidity&#039;.
whenever i see any mention of national review, i remember they had to fire a buckley.
and then i laugh.
And I doubt Weiner knew it either.

What matters is whether she spills a bit on her blue dress. It&#039;s the Clinton rule: Every drop counts.
What goes into a Wonkettini? 9 parts gin, 1 part Cutty Snark?

Were these the Jewish Urban Youth or the Irish Urban Youth? I can&#039;t keep that shit separate!
