Warning: Many links are to Kathryn Jean’s Fluffy Pink Womb of Zygote Love.
Kathryn Jean thinks that Mitt Romney is a man of principle because he vetoed a section of legislation which would have required all Massachusetts hospitals, including Catholic ones, to provide emergency contraception to rape victims – or as she puts it:
would require Catholic hospitals to provide abortifacient drugs
thus managing both to include the word “abortifacient” and entirely exclude the words “emergency”, “rape” and “victim” – even though Romney vetoed it for entirely political reasons, knew at the time his veto would be overturned, even said that “in his heart of hearts,” he believed that rape victims should have access to emergency contraception, but now believes that a similar rule “tramples on religious freedom”.
President Obama, on the other hand, is a big scary blah man who wants to take away, in turn, our liberties, our virginal innocence and the little blah babies he fathered upon us with his heathen lusts.
Also, Kathryn Jean is preparing for the inevitable day when she will need to snuggle up next to Mitt’s special undies and worship at the temple of the Mitt. I bet Mitt’s pubic hair looks just like the hair on his head.
Also, defunding Planned Parenthood was a “business choice“. Italics in the original.
The “Editors” think that Susan G. Komen for the Cure is (or at least was, and probably still is) an organisation of principle because Planned Parenthood doesn’t do mammograms, all they do is do breast checks and refer people for mammograms. So there. After all, finding out how to check your own breasts and then obtaining a referral to a mammogram clinic when you find a lump is easy-peasy when you are poor and/or illiterate and/or don’t have insurance. I think they offer them at McDonalds, with a side of fries and a free home pap smear kit. Besides, this is great because it lets us talk about abortions some more and donate our usual three bucks a month to a charity that doesn’t fund child murder and then feel smug about it.
The fact that Victor Davis Hanson – writing about President Obama appealing to black people – wrote the following sentence without being blasted into smoldering scoriae is proof that there is no God:
The strategy may have always been implicit, but I cannot quite remember a president or presidential candidate explicitly trying to rally a constituency on the basis of shared racial identity — except for Obama’s earlier appeals to Latinos to “punish our enemies” and his 2010 midterm video targeting specific special minority groups to get out and vote.
Sorry. I seem to have had some bile stuck in my throat. Victor should, at the very least, have been afflicted with boils for that weaselly “explicitly” up there.
Just like me, Mark Krikorian thinks Ron Paul is a mouth-dribbling wackaloon, except for Mark it’s because Ron Paul is a closet lefty who doesn’t hate brown people and wants to give them lollipops instead of shooting them.
Daniel Foster REALLY doesn’t like Gawker:
(For the uninitiated, Gawker’s imperative role on the Internet is that of the mother bird, partially digesting the work of others with the enzymes of bored irony and the gastric juices of sarcasm, and regurgitating stub articles fit for the consumption of the shrieking, featherless hatchlings that comprise my doomed generation.)
Donald Trump is either tripping on some hellishly good painkillers or stark bugfuck mad. Or both, I suppose.
What the Poor Need is a Fucking Trampoline.
Jesus. I what I need is a drink and some kind of pills. The green ones, I think.

The poor’d probably get a really good bounce if Newt laid flat on the ground and everyone jumped on him.

This is OT, but I have to tell this. AP headline, Gingrich called Romney Obama lite. Noot is a real fool.

I wish Gingrich didn’t mention trampolines, that triggers my eternal grief over loss of The Man Show.

I think they do breast exams at Walgreens. You know, the same way they do pap smears.

Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick, am I going to have to start putting art pieces on my posts too?
You know, what we really need is a fundraiser specifically for the Planned Parenthood Pregnancy Termination fund. Every penny raised could be donated in the names of K-Lo and Karen Handel.

@Maude:
I’m sometimes wondering if the whole schtick of Gingrich is not to attack Romney from the right so that he looks like more of a moderate for the general election.

You misspelled that. Romney is a man of principal. Upon which he makes very nice interest.

No, those are OK because white is the default. It’s only an issue when it’s non-whites calling for racial solidarity.
There’s probably an analogy with shampoo formulas but I’ll leave that to the professional pundits.

I sometimes wonder if these conservatives ever go to the doctor because the health care system they describe bears no resemblance to the one I am familiar with. We must also consider the possibility that Kathryn Jean Lopez has never had any form of gynaecological exam in her entire life.

@Calouste:
I have wondered the same thing, especially since it does not seem Newt is allowed to attack from the left. When Newt did attack from the left (the Bain vulture capitalism phase) the Republican establishment ire at Gingrich was notable, and he quickly moved again to the right flank.
As independent, anti-establishment rebels go, Newt seems to have to know his place.

The way to deal with the likes of Victor Davis Hanson is to run him through with a period javelin. If we can just get some museum to loan us one…

My favorite hypocrisy of the day over at NRO was half the posters at The Corner trying to spin a Savage Liberals Are Bullying A Private Non Profit Charity narrative (e.g. here and here), while inbetween those two posts we get this pearl from Michael New:
These guys and gals have been spinning bullshit for so long that when the shit goes down they just can’t help themselves. Shameless? You betcha!

I will quote the blogger Prometheus6 who said it first:
Black people do not vote for Barack Obama because HE is Black.
They vote for Barack Obama because WE ARE BLACK.
And, unlike other groups in this country, Black people VOTE IN WHAT THEY PERCEIVE TO BE THEIR OWN BEST SELF-INTEREST.
Talked with a girlfriend this past weekend about this. The problem with Black folks is getting us TO the polls. Once we get there, we’re quite clear as to whom deserves our vote.
We DO NOT have, as a community, a history of voting against our own best interests, like say, your working class White Republican voters, who have been voting against their own economic self interest for DECADES, as they wrapped themselves in the luxury of delusion of Whiteness.

Sarah, please! You gave me a visual of Mitt’s helmet-head pubes just before I’m going to bed. I blame my nightmares on you!

I wish Gingrich didn’t mention trampolines, that triggers my eternal grief over loss of The Man Show.
All I remember from that show are the shots of the camera panning over the boobs in the live audience and the girls (Juggs?) on the trampolines–which was nice, because who wanted to stare lovingly at Adam Corolla’s ugly mug? (Face for radio, I say.)
Speaking of boobs or jugs, as a fellow female bodied person I didn’t much care to see titties bouncing, as I tend to wince in sympathy. There’s a reason all of us sporty types think sports bras are AWESOME. Just sayin’.
Another Halocene Human
By boobs in audience I do not mean bewbs, but rather mean to imply that these were fellers who were easily impressed.

Word.
And maybe it’s the vodka talking, but I love the way you put that. Wrapped in the luxury of the delusion of Whiteness. Just look at the success of Lou Dobbs–the working class whites of a certain age I know who couldn’t bring themselves to vote Republican yet still gotta blame somebody for Everything That’s Wrong With The World and Hispanic immigrants got elected. They Tuk Er Jerbs, Also, too.
