Oh Snap! Now THAT'S An Insult

Written by Bryan (just Bryan) of YouAreDumb.net (the snarkiest website on the internet) regarding The Lady Lynn Forrester De Rothschild, Democrat doyenne, telecom heiress, Hillary supporter, who married a rich English lord several decades her senior, who now is declaring her support for the Republican ticket:
"Oh, you may SAY you're pro-choice, but it sure is easy to support Sarah Palin and lie to yourself that she's a centrist when you're menopausal and the only thing that comes out of your husband's dick is a small cloud of stale Earl Grey powder."
Sometimes, a great insult is a clever double entendre, or a puckish play of words, or a well-conceived witticism to express your dislike for people, deftly using their own smarmy qualities to belittle them. Other times it's just . . . exactly right . . . to go ahead and crudely insult their spouse's genitals. I don't know why this is so. It just is.

" Sometimes, a great insult is a clever double entendre, or a puckish play of words, or a well-conceived witticism to express your dislike for people, deftly using their own smarmy qualities to belittle them."

Yes, I agree with that. In fact you have used that against me (at least once) and I thoroughly enjoyed your witticism.

"Other times it's just . . . exactly right . . . to go ahead and crudely insult their spouse's genitals. I don't know why this is so. It just is."

Actually....no it is not ok. This is were your loathing for Republicans and Christians comes out...in a none to flattering way. If you were standing next to me and insulted my spouse, I assure you we would be throwing down and my fist would be connecting to your face. And I am certain if I insulted your spouse (soon to be) you would do the same to me.

There is nothing worse then an internet tough guy...and this Bryan is the typical internet tough guy. I do not know who this Rothschild is or what she did that was so bad...and frankly do not care. Crude, insulting, humiliating, degrading, comments directed towards the persona and that persons family is just plain wrong.

As far as the bullet you posted about abortion issue. I absolutely hate the fact that this issue always appears to be the be the end all of issues. In a time when we face....an economy meltdown that could surpass even the great depression, two wars (Iraq/Afghanistan), a possible war (Iran), Russia flexing its muscles again, and terrorism, the abortion issue should not even be in the top five.

But for what it is worth here is what I believe. Although I am pro-choice I would have Roe v Wade overturned. I believe in States rights. Let each State decide what should be done with the legality of abortion. Some states (bible belt) will immediately pass laws against abortions (with the exception of the life of the mother and rape) and the rest of the states will keep it totally legal. Of course if this were to happen we would get to see one of the “skeletons in the Democrat’s closet“. There is this thing called "Southern Democrat", if you are down south no matter what your political party is...you must be pro-choice. You will never get elected to city dog-catcher otherwise (Before I came to Hawaii I was living in Georgia - needless to say I did not enjoy my three years in the bible belt). Well, many of the southern states are run by those Southern Democrats (majority party). Those Southern Democrats will be the ones limiting abortion rights. Just for the entertainment value of watching the Congressional Democrats have to explain why all the limiting laws to abortion rights are coming from...other Democrats - would be worth it. In the end this issue is such a waste of time….even if RvW is overturned abortion will always be legal (granted maybe some would have the inconvenience of having to travel across state lines to get one).

Considering everything Palin stands for that is sooooooooo wrong (and lets face it - she is wrong on so many issues), couldn’t Bryan have picked something….more significant to get pissed about? But the most unforgivable comment Bryan made in that article…..“and even Bill Gates is a repentant dickweed” That is totally unforgivable…Bill Gates has always been and will always be the anti-Christ.

One word response: Kennedys.

I've laughed at late night comics insulting Bill Clinton by making fun of Hillary's appearance, bitchiness, or frigidity for about 15 years now, and the genre of "yo mamma" jokes are some of my favorites. When it comes to humor, I'm nonpartisan. A small cloud of stale Earl Grey powder coming out of an old Englishman's dick is a funny concept, whether it's coming from Bryan Noname or Don Rickles or Jimmy Kimmel.

As for the abortion issue, like I said: "Cloud of Earl Grey powder" is the subject of the post. (I'm still smiling there.) But, truth is, I don't argue with your views on abortion at all. My saying has always been "I think abortion should always be a choice, and I think it should always be the wrong choice." I wouldn't overturn RvW simply for that reason... because it would be taking that choice away, or at least causing a long road trip. Other than that, abortion really isn't an issue with me personally, politically, or intellectually.

And, yes, Bryan could have (and has) picked something more significant to get pissed about regarding Palin... but again... Earl Grey. Heheh. It's just... old guy, old dick... British, and thus British tea... ah, forget it.
