An Iraqi national wearing wires and concealing a magnet inside his rectum triggered a security scare at Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday but officials said he posed no apparent threat.
Wha???
Speaking of Ass Magnets . . .
The French Constitutional Council has approved a law that criminalizes the filming or broadcasting of acts of violence by people other than professional journalists. The law could lead to the imprisonment of eyewitnesses who film acts of police violence, or operators of Web sites publishing the images, one French civil liberties group warned on Tuesday.
So, I guess at least acts of violence by professional journalists are fair game.
11-inch uncut monster cock (wouldn’t want to leave any of that on the cutting room floor; let the envy begin):
Ann Coulter being homophobic
Andrew Sullivan samples the ambiance of CPAC:
She’s absolutely right that this is absurd and funny and an example of p.c. insanity. She could have made a joke about that – a better one, to be sure – but a joke. But she didn’t just do that. She added to the joke a slur: “John Edwards is a faggot.” That’s why people gasped and then laughed and clapped so heartily. I was in the room, so I felt the atmosphere personally. It was an ugly atmosphere, designed to make any gay man or woman in the room feel marginalized and despised. To put it simply, either conservatism is happy to be associated with that atmosphere, or it isn’t.
Mickey Kaus on the halcyon days so mendoucheious.
Speaking of travesties . . . I don’t have much to say about the Scooter Libby conviction, but Clarice does, and I hope she’ll write a book about this.
John Sanders at TownHall has thoughts on Reparations for Coulter. Matt Barber’s sense of humor is not as good as Coulter’s. More misplaced liberal outrage.
I think we can all relate to this guy.
(MayBee meant the ass magnet guy)
He posed “no apparent threat” but triggered a “security scare?” That doesn’t even make sense. Does al-Reuters employ anyone who can write an intelligible story?
Just delete me and put me out of my misery, Dan Collins.
Andy is God-smackingly vile. Arguments about what she said aside (well-trod territory), attempts to paint the entire conservative tent with the words used ONCE by a pundit makes my head explode.
Wait. I thought Andrew was talking about the decor!
Not to beat a dead horse, but:
When did she actually say this?
(Yeah, I’m actually beginning to understand JG’s rants about language deconstruction….)
Sorry, MayBee, but I liked your comment too much to do that.
This link you posted about Corporal Sanchez, Dan, what is the point the writer is trying to make?
That it is wrong to (not) call John Edwards a faggot but OK to out a Marine as a former porn star because he seems a bit old at 36 to be a Corporal?
If I wasn’t frit of being rehabilitated, I would say the man is in danger of disappearing up his own arse.
As for the magnetic Iraqi, he probably put the magnet up there as a sort of mechanical ferret. Nothing peculiar about that. These airport security people are obviously prejudiced and had time on their hands.
And some sort of glove, hopefully.
I don’t know what point the guy was trying to make, furriskey. Maybe I should just link to Malkin.
Context, man, context!
Ann Coulter is a rightwing skank attacking a Democratic presidential candidate with beautiful hair by using a word forbidden to everyone except those it describes.
Cpl. Sanchez is a trained killer and torturer, a willing tool of the imperialistic patriarchy (and probably a closet Joooo), giving bad publicity to the more-enlightened-than-thou anti-war protestors.
So of course it’s wrong for Coulter to “out” Johnnie Edwards, but it’s STRIKING A BLOW FOR TOLERANCE to out Sanchez.
Get it now? Or do you need further11 re-education?
Okay, McGehee. I get it. It’s just that there’s something offputting about the . . . atmosphere of that blog.
Thanks for the last link Dan, I needed a good morning laugh. Clarice Feldman, pure comedy gold!
I think I’m probably beyond hope. I can’t even link to a blogroll. It doesn’t believe I’m who I say I am. Now I’m not sure myself.
I’ve worked out the magnet thing, by the way. It has to do with the Islamic injunction to shave the body, coupled with a desire to look hirsute.
Now the problem, obviously, was, “How to get the iron filings to stick to the belly in a natural looking way.”
If you want the rest of the explanation you have to bung Jeff a twenty.
Do you have a Google identity, furriskey? I think that’s what it’s asking for these days.
That was one of the ones I tried. I’ll try again.
My word, Volvos are cheap in America.
I’m so confused by all this deconstruction nomenclature. In a simpler time, Sullivan’s quote around what Coulter did not say would be a lie.
It’s simply too nuanced for me.
I’m not even sure if Sanchez was “outed” per se. There actually are gay pr0n stars who are not gay. Method-acting or something. Hard for me to say, I’m not a thespian.
I’ve just heard that Mr. al-Maliki also had chewing gum and a rock tucked away in his compartment. I realize that you never know when you’re going to need a rock, but chewing gum? Did he jam that up his ass for safekeeping/later use?
Can somebody explain to me why Andy SUllivan got an invite to Cpac ? Or was he there as a “journalist”.
Plus if he got a cold recpetion, I doubt its simply because he’s gay.
Jim–
I knew the coinage “Kerfluffle” would come in handy. I just didn’t know it would be so soon.
I once dated an assistant to the assistant fluffer.
Well, not really, but there’s a joke in there somewhere, I’m just sure of it. I did once know a guy who dated a girl who went to high school with Traci Lords, though. Kind of my one and only “brush with celebrity,” and how sad is that?
To plug the leaks in the fuel tank if some Focker crept up behind him and let fly. Come on, I need a challenge.
Actually, Dan, as I parse it
It’s only acts of violence by professional journalists that CAN be broadcast. Which kinda narrows the content of TV, in my opinion. Who the hell wants to watch a 24/7 channel of Dan rather slapping around Geraldo Rivera?
10 hours a day, 3 days a week, TOPS, man.
I hear Dick Cheney’s daughter is.
mojo–
That’s what I thought I said.
I expect it will be in Taranto this afternoon.
Dan Collins: Would someone please tell Andy Sullivan that he’s responsible for his own feelings, no one else is–certainly I’m not, nor is Ann Coulter.
Or maybe, just tell him to grow up.
Cheers.
I would, Forbes, but then he’d write a column denouncing me for hurting his feelings.
