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. The whole story is gross and doesn't really matter and says very little about us, as a people, except for what we already know -- that we're a gross nation of gross people doing gross things, on Twitter. But, because it was published on the National Review comedy blog, "The Corner," it needed some ridiculous and offensive racial stereotype thrown in there, just to maintain institutional equilibrium. In other words, Anthony Weiner twit-picking his yfrog to some gal was
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!
