NYT.ÂÂ
Publication capped “intense internal deliberations” at TNR.
“I want you to picture Johansson,” McCormick writes in the Daily Telegraph, “curled up on a sofa in a subterranean studio, soft and gorgeous in a sort of indie pin-up way; long platinum blonde hair; huge, blue fawnish eyes; voluptuously indecent red lips; slender but curvaceous frame…” ÂÂ
At which point the reader might suspect a flattering review. Not the case, sadly. McCormick writes: “The first time I heard her singing voice emerge from the speakers, I thought I was listening to a guy. Her voice is very low, shaky and has about two notes in it. Think Nico, backed by the Flaming Lips. On acid. Johansson has made a seriously weird record.”
Should have titled it Nippleodeon.
Small Study Concludes Some Women Do Not Have G-Spots*
Well, that’s just the sort of thing a small study would conclude, isn’t it?
American icon Willie Nelson says he supports efforts to impeach President Bush and “throw the bastards out,” adding that the administration will do anything to stay in power, including staging an event to cancel the election.
* I blame the patriarchy
The only deliberation I can see happening were the various leftist factions arguing about when a hitjob like that would do the most damage.
Hmm, I totally dug Nico. She was something of a femme fatale. Everybody knew it.
Just a little tease at all tomorrow’s parties.
Um, yeah. Of course it’s weird.
Out, damn’d spot! out, I say!â€â€One; two: why, then
’tis time to do’t.â€â€Hell is murky
I guess that means she’s a two – fer in the talent department; girl can’t act worth a lick.
So, Dan, you’re saying that Scarlet Johansson doesn’t have a g-spot?
I gave moneys to McCain today cause I don’t think he would hit that and the New York Times can tongue my, um, you know. Well not really but that’s just a figure of speech.
Hey, Flaming Lips rock. Unless you see them outside, I would suggest you bring a bottle of o2 with you.
Lox? Or just pressurized oxygen?
Probably not safe to use where people are smoking, in either case.
You don’t like the lox? How about a shmear?
Willie looks tired. What say someone get him a couple Geritol tabs and a big yummy bowl of oatmeal?
Willie is upset he can’t reach the electoral g-spot. He should check his spam folder for offers that can help him.
I like a lot of Willie’s music. He should stick to that.
Good grief. No wait, there’s nothing good about it. Grief! If Bush were so eminently impeachable, then impeach him already, or STFU. This wearisome simpering makes my ears bleed.
*covers ears with Band-Aids® *
Seriously, I knew this would happen. We get a test to determine if a woman has a g-spot, but it can’t be performed in a bar. What good is that?
I just think there are people out there who will do anything to stay in power, …they’ve already proven they’ll do anything to keep it
Pare their own fingernails, even.
Aloof, detatched, removed.
Stop Global Whining!
I wish, in October, that Cheney would announce that he is bringing Karl Rove back as his Chief of Staff for the last few months, and then have a rash of secret meetings to make all of the loonwaffles go insane.
And, speaking of insane, I watching Olberfuckingdouchenozzle for about 10 minutes tonight. He had a segment where he created a time line where every single succcess in ferretting out terrorist plots or increase in threat levels was just “coincidentally” timed with some random event that he deemed to be important. He makes the NY Times seem like journalists.
I also watched that Abrams guy who I used to respect. He was hammering on the McCain story saying that it has to be a big deal because some unnamed staffer anonymously told a reporter that someone else warned a female lobbyist away from McCain, and that in and of itself is important, and proof of either an affair or impropriety. McCain’s atty ripped him, kindly.
Unless McCain lied about it under oath or told somebody else to lie about it under oath, I don’t give a damn.
It’s going to be fun, come January, whoever’s inaugurated, just to watch the loonies who were sure that Bu$hitler would stage a coup to stay in power forever. The mix of relief and disappointment on their pathetic little faces will be…delicious.
Of course, if Johnny McMaverick wins, the “another stolen election” bullshit will get real tired real fast.
I saw Beck in concert with the Flaming Lips backing him up. Incredible show.
Oh, and not that I didn’t believe Toby Keith already, but Willie gots to have some killer weed.
What I think this morning is the context of the story near as I can figure was McCain’s gearing up for a presidential run in the wake of Clinton. Hence the hypersensitivity to appearances. Timingwise this maybe hurts Hillary by association but definitely sucks up enough media oxygen to make it less likely for her to break through with any messaging, so I think it makes Karl’s point in the previous post stronger about what her options are. One candidate could speak to this “issue,” the other one that would be too funny, so I’m thinking this could delimit her press availability.
The way NPR – which is hugely skewed towards the Obama demos – is licking it up I think is illustrative.
Also though … doesn’t this kinda youthen McCain up a bit?
You won’t see John and Cindy in any double bathtub “when the mood is right” ads anytime soon. Blue steel is what I heard.
NPR led into a story this morning by claiming that the NYT piece was actually about McCain’s possibly improper connections with lobbyists generally, only to have the story be about how the NYT claims that their story is about McCain’s careless disregard for his reputation . . . which speaks, presumably, to his judgment.
Wriggle, wriggle.
Right, and that’s cause for a story they’ve already reported on, 8 years ago, to land on the front page, above the fold. And they endorsed this guy with a careless disregard for his reputation. Yep. Uh huh.
Fortunately for Willie, he probably doesn’t remember most of the stupid shit he says ten minutes later. The ol’ short term memory has got to be pretty well shot.
Nico is pretty well past her expiration date, but Neko Case is pretty hot.
Willie’s braiding his pigtails too tightly.
Dammit, it’s been almost 8 years and Bush still hasn’t imposed a complete fascist dictatorship! What the hell is he waiting for???
He promised himself he’d wait until his approval rating got lower than Congress.
