"We have expressed our displeasure to Don"

 

 

"The female, equipped with a Defense far superior in polymorphous ingenuities to the rather simple Attack of the male, developed, and perfected, the Diversion Subterfuge. The first manifestation of this remarkable phenomenon was fudge-making." (James Thurber: Writings and Drawings)

"Seems to me that MSNBC needs to remove a lot more than "MS" from the network to improve its image," writes Michelle Malkin re the cadaverish Don Imus's latest gratuitous trashing of a woman who doesn't please his eye, in this case MSNBC anchor Contessa Brewer:

That skank has to spend three hours with makeup in the morning . . . Who's she kidding? . . . Plus, she's dumber than dirt . . . Oh, my God, what a pig.

Who's a pig?  'Can't help but wonder how Deirdre feels about her husband's venomous misogyny. We used to watch "Imus in the Morning" when the old boy was trashing Bill "it depends upon what your definition of is is" Clinton years ago but haven't been tempted since GW moved into the White House. Presumably, Imus's ratings are still healthy amongst a subset of our fellow Americans (misogyny is universal and can rear its ugly head at any time), since the best the bottom-line guys at MSNBC -- soon to be The NBC News Channel -- can muster in his defense is "We have expressed our displeasure to Don."

Women can be as idiotic as men -- natch -- especially Marxist-lite women (do they realize their entire worldview was invented by a member of the opposite/oppressive sex?)  Check out Ann Althouse's comments re Christina Hoff Summers's National Review piece on ''College Republicans' response to the overpromotion of 'The Vagina Monologues' at Roger Williams University and the predictably repressive/humorless response from the administration."

"cadaverish" - I've been reading English text for about 53 years now and honestly believe that is the first time I've ever seen that used AND used so well. He is indeed cadaverish... I love it.

Dittoes on no-longer-do-the-Imus-thing. I got tired of "The Ranch" and also, rather tired of hearing what dear "Deirdre" was up to.

I've never listened to Imus - I'm sure he's syndicated somewhere here in Chicago... just about everyone else seems to be why not him too. But he's just a more high profile example of how fixated the media is on looks... especially women's looks. These talking heads - of all sorts - when they don't like the person in question - will immediately criticize how they look. It's because they don't have anything else to say. And yet, people continue to let their inane garbage come spewing out of the radio and television at a continuous rate... *sigh*
