I will defend even sven… I thought his/her post was a pretty good “evaluation” of the reasons that younger people voted for Arnold. (1st paragraph was excluded by Ellis in the OP…) The penis thing was pretty amusing and overdone… but still its a country without good leaders looking for a good strong dick to lead them… 
Ah, they’re 1920’s style penises.
Gives a whole new meaning to the word “flapper”, wouldn’t you say?
Sure, go right ahead.
Brilliant.
Pathetic, mindless and utterly stupid.
Sounds like she’s having trouble getting laid, is all.
While I may not agree with even sven, I can’t see what she’s done that’s Pit-worthy. It’s a valid analysis, based on her own observations. She even adds a disclaimer of sorts. I don’t see the problem.
All together now:
EEW!!
Isn’t it, Peni?
Just wondering…
No, penises is correct.
I hope I’m not being wooshed here…
My friend? You’re a totally righteous dude. Even to this Aussie all these miles away, it’s plain to see a man with style.
Heh Heh Heh…
Fuck man… that’s a low blow. Fucking funny, but a low blow nonetheless!
Sure. You don’t have a TV (last time I heard) so I guess you didn’t see when he did the SNL monologue in tighty whities… and started boning up mid-way through…
I don’t have screen caps, but I’m sure I can find some on one of my sick & twisted Yahoo! groups. 
even sven, your are Germaine Greer and I claim my (phallocentric) £5.
Again: EEW!!!
So even sven’s being pitted for saying in a humorous way that America’s looking for strong leadership?
To avoid getting pitted right now myself I better point out that choosing George W. Bush was America trying to get the weakest most flaccid 2-incher-with-a-bend-in-it in the nation.
Oh damn, he beat Al Gore, didn’t he? There goes that theory. (Unless you believe that he didn’t beat Gore. Or beat off Gore. Or whatever.)
Yeah, I don’t get it. I’m pretty sure that even sven’s penis posts are tongue-in-cheek.
What’s everyone so pissed off about?
No, she’s being pitted for equating everything America does with stupid, warmed-over rubbish about penis envy.
I tend to think Freudian theories about penis envy are at least credible enough to be interesting, and certainly, mixed with disaffected post-pax-Clintona youth, feminist analysis, and a healthy dose of sarcasm, made for good reading.
Unlike your writing. Do you feel threatened? Taunting trolls about pink nipples is okay with you, but penis metaphors are not?
Dickwad.
I don’t know about credible, but I certainly can’t imagine being offended by anything even sven has said in either of those two posts. What’s your trip, Michael Ellis?
