If things go right, I might be showin' her my "O" face.

That woman is an idiot.

Her analysis is just as tortured as that by the guy who claims that Tony was killed by the Members Only jacket guy in the final scene. I mean, it may be true, but that guy, like Ann here, finds (creates?) meaning in everything.

As a female and as an attorney, I can say that this woman is an idiot. Was she making a futile attempt at humor? Or was she making a partisan jab? Either way, I'm not into it.

12:34 - thank you for listing your credentials, otherwise I could never have taken your post seriously. That is, as a gibbon and a former leader of F-Troop.

12:40 - Alike Althouse, you attempt to make a snarky and sardonic comment and yet sound like an asshole.

Worst law professor ever.

Don't miss the bloggingheads where Althouse completely lost it. Seriously, a totally embarrassing and pathetic meltdown.

http://bloggingheads.tv/video.php?id=231

When people get worked up about something out of proportion to its intrinsic importance they're usually telling us about their personal history. Think of Roy Cohn and gays, Jim Baker and sex, New Gingrich/Henry Hyde and fidelity, and so on. When Ann Althouse spends a couple of paragraphs telling us a vagina is shaped like an O, therefore, is she bragging, complaining, or asking if that is the way it is supposed to be?

Lat - spare us the unbelievable lightness of ann althouse

Lat - you're kidding right? Are you aware of Althouse's absurd posts on the AutoAdmit lawsuit. The one where she didn't read the complaint but felt qualified to opine on how the petitioners had no case and should toughen up. And after numerous bloggers pointed this out - she simply lied and said that she never said what she said. Why in god's name are you giving her the time of day?

L.C.,

Couldn't I be snarky, sardonic, and an asshole? Given that snarky = sarcastic, and sardonic = derisively mocking, I think I succeeded.

But mainly, I'm just a gibbon.

Hey 1:38,

Can you give an approximate time for the Althouse meltdown? I can't bear to look at her face and hear her voice for over an hour.

Thanks.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS BEAUTIFUL PHOTO:

Forever and ever, man...YEAH!

I won't dispute Althouse being nuts, but why do people get so worked up? I guess cause its funny?

Blogging is not some higher art form. If that post appeared in a NYT op-ed piece, I'd be concerned. But there are how many friggin' bloggers out there? Does even a fraction of 1 percent of what they say actually mean anything? Bloggers write crazy stuff like that because it makes them a pseudo-celebrity if only in a dorky cyber kind of way.

2:08 -- If you click on the "Is Ann a Conservative?" link, you'll pretty much be there.

Lat has nice hair

2:11 - would it influence you at all to know that Althouse HAS in fact written a guest editorial for the NYT?
(Albeit not about onion rings = vaginas)

Lat,

You really should hammer Ann about her autoadmit comments as another poster has already suggested. She was spewing all over her website before she had even familiarized herself with the facts. She deleted comments that were taken verbatim from the complaint, and then, said, "oops" I didn't realize that was in the complaint (one would assume she read it, since she took such a quick and strong view on the matter). And the quotes below just about sum it up. Keep in mind, these two comments were within two posts of each other...

Ann Althouse says:

"You're out of your mind if you think lame insults and bogus threats are more debili[t]ating."

Two posts later Ann Althouse says:

"I don't know that these rape threats were bogus."

Althouse? Ugh... dude, I used to like you.

Althouse? Ugh... dude, I used to like you.

Althouse? Ugh... dude, I used to like you.

Wow! Some of the commenters here are really, really angry and, more alarmingly, angry AND infantile.

You've got to wonder who's sitting next to you on the subway after reading stuff like this.

And, they're all anonymous.

Not that there's anything intrinsically wrong with that.

However, it doesn't take much of a penis to flame someone when your name is "anon".

That doesn't mean that what they're saying is not true. If I said "Paul A'Barge is a sexist idiot for equating penis-bearing with some warped sense of courage," the fact that I sign "anon" does not mean that you're not a sexist idiot.

Ewwwww... you're touching her!

Hey look, Legally Chocolate is hoisting her own petard. Way to come off like a condescending know-it-all, and an asshole to boot. If you object to her analysis, offer your own, or don't be surprised when people give you the same stupid treatment you gave Althouse.

Haters.

So Bugs Bunny was a gay guy who ate phallic symbols?

What's up, Doc?
Clinton did have to cut fried foods out of his diet over cholestoral/weight/heart concerns.

She's protecting him, if she wanted Bill dead she'd offer up a double serving of the Onion rings...

I think the reaction to the althouse onion ring post is far more interesting than the post itself, and far more telling. Why the rush to condemn a simple observation? It's true I guess that two artists can't see one thing the same way.

Althouse's interpretation of the ad isn't really all that out there. I think most people make the mistake of assuming that she must be arguing that such interpretations were intended or "hidden" in the ad, which *would* be nutty. But interpreters of texts have declared themselves free to disregard the author's intention for decades now.

HOWEVER...

Althouse is a huge attention whore who thinks way more of herself than she deserves. Her interpretation may be defensible under the last fifty years of literary theory, but it's not actually that clever or interesting. The whole "vortex of Althousiana" thing, wherein everyone is supposed to be entranced/infuriated by her every minute thought and deed, is beyond boring, as well as shallow and embarrassing.

For the record, I'm with Lat. Althouse's blog is my all-time favorite.

Althouse is a hack. A poor professor. A "conservative" living off the backs of Wisconsin taxpayers.
