Scylla this is childish. When I was a kid and got caught ,if Im said my brother did it , my dad said we are talking about you now. It is about Foley now. When will you understand that sexual harassment has no age limit. Also as time goes on more comes out. Do you think offering a ride from the airport was just a delivery service. If Kennedy did this ,the repubs would have every Sunday sermon slaughter the DEm values. Sorry ,it.s your turn now. ---

[QUOTE=Scylla] More like muchos ignorant and embarassed. I was wrong on this. I acknowledge it, and I thank you for the correction [/QUOTE] Wow. Somehow this makes me even angrier. Your loyalty was so blind–delusional–that you drank enough Koolaid to write that preposterous OP, with ZERO critical thinking; you just swallowed what Coulter and the other delusional, dishonest demagogues regurgitated down your baby-bird throat. Coulter is a tree falling in a forest; you and your dittohead ilk (and I hate that word “ilk” but nothing else will do here) are the ones who disseminate her (and her ilk’s) destructive propaganda, but you get to just go, “my bad, I was misinformed” and leave it at that? Does this not teach you _anyting at all_–serious question–about the veracity of your wonted sources? Will this not make you at least sniff the Koolaid before you drink your next batch? Fine, you stuck the Dope’s proffered finger down your throat and hurled the Koolaid you’d swallowed. This time. But have you learned anything at all about the Koolaid? Or is this just about the swallowing for you? \* (Is there an award for most overused metaphor in a single post? Can I get a nomination here?)\* ---

> [@Maeglin](#): > > I think “Pubbie Spin Machine” makes an even better name for one’s penis. It’s savagely aggressive and often has serious problems with timing? It’s mocked and despised by progressive-minded women? It stands up for the Bush Administration? Yuck. Personally, if a guy offered to show me his “Pubbie Spin Machine”, that would be a turnoff. “Elected Pennsylvania congressman” is much cuter as a humorous euphemism, and even has a sort of gracefully elaborate indirectness that recalls the metaphors of some Asian poetry, IMHO. Nope, **Dan Blather** and **Miller** win this one. ---

And this, boys, is why we should never cite Ann Coulter. Because since she is one of the Undead, her very touch will make the thread undead, and people will continue to kick you while you postrate in abasement, having recognized your mistake, and beg for the bullet to the back of the thread’s neck… > [@elucidator](#): > > Chorus of Bitter Virgins in the particular context, obviously male ones, and in that case is there any other kind? 😛 ---

Just want to point out once again the irony of Foley helping to pass laws making his internet conversations with those under 18 a crime, even if they are of the age of consent. In other words, he can have sex with them, but not IM them. ---

I, for one, could wallow in this opportunity to watch with partisan glee the members of the Republican House leadership twist slowly in the wind while insisting “I am not a schmuck”. I could demand “What did the Speaker know, and when did he know it?” till the chickens come home to roost. I could comment upon a cancer growing on the GOP’s prissery. I could do that, but it would be wrong. Not that _that_ would stop me. 😉 [sub]Am I dating myself or what? 😃 [/sub] ---

[QUOTE=elucidator] Hell, I thought he was too smart to _read_ Ann Coulter, much less _quote_ the transgendered harridan!

Coulter’s masculine appearance has been a long running source of jokes on this board for years. Is this the first time you’ve ever noticed? It’s not an anti-TG joke, it’s a joke that she looks like a man in drag (clock the adam’s apple). **'lucy** is far from the first to riff on that theme. ---

Nonetheless. If someone, in a negative rant had referred to Mayor Bloomberg or Tony Blair as “that gay motherfucker,” or who/whatever, I’da had my hackles raised. Calling Hillary Clinton a lesbian won’t make you sound very enlightened either. I’m not sure why but “by the way, is Ann Coulter really a man?” is not as pejoritive sounding to TG folks as calling her a “transgendered harridan.” Using such a word as part of a phrase that’s meant to be insulting is asking to be called on it.
