Shut Up and Drive
Rhianna, “Shut Up and Drive”
It’s been one of those days for handing out ball gags again. Big time. Where should we begin?
Let’s start with Don Imus. Anyone who followed his egregious missteps in the wake of Nappy-Headed-Ho-Gate knew that these were old Cowboy Don’s true colors. From calling Gwen Ifill “The Cleaning Lady” to the notorious remarks that got him axed from MSNBC and temporarily banned from the radio, Don Imus has always been one gaffe away from getting permanently consigned to the dustbin of no-longer-relevant media personalities.
Well, now he’s finished the job (via C&L):
Just months after returning to the airwaves with a pledge to mend the wounds caused by his racist and sexist comment about a women’s basketball team, Don Imus is again drawing fire for injecting race into his radio show.
During an on-air conversation Monday about the arrests of suspended Dallas CowboysAdam Jones, Imus asked, “What color is he?” Told by sports announcer Warner Wolf that Jones, who used to be nicknamed Pacman, is “African-American,” Imus responded: “There you go. Now we know.” cornerback
Imus: “What color is he?”
Wolf: “He’s African-American”
Imus: Well, there you go, Now we know.”
When I first read this story earlier, I have to admit it didn’t seem like a huge deal. But once you listen to the audio, it’s pretty clear Imus asked the question knowing that Jones was black, like it somehow proved whatever point he was trying to make. You knew it was only a matter of time before he dug himself another hole.
Of course, they’ll mount a full court press of moss-backed old bastards from Inside the Beltway to help poor, beleaguered Don keep his job. Holy Joe Lieberman and John McCain, Peg Noonan and David Frum will all be called upon to come by the studio and testify to the old cracker pusbag’s sterling qualities as a broadcaster and a man, “Don, he’s not a racist,” they’ll insist, “He just, you know, says racist things. And just about The Blacks. Spics and chinks he’s got no problem with…”
God, just retire you anachronistic old shitbag. Go have ten or eleven drinks with Geraldine Ferraro and the two of you can talk about how you’re not racists just because you hate and resent talented black people. It’s the REST of us who are racists for calling you out on it.
Speaking of getting called out, though. The New York Times has had a shocking burst of self-awareness with regards to MoDo:
This blog took a fair amount of heat for suggesting during the primary that Maureen Dowd’s nonstop catty columns about Hillary had an obsessive, even unhinged quality to them. So it was pretty gratifying to see that Times public editor Clark Hoyt weighed in yesterday with a piece aggressively attacking Dowd’s coverage of the Dem primary.
The crux of Hoyt’s case is that her columns on Hillary were “loaded with language painting her as a 50-foot woman with a suffocating embrace, a conniving film noir dame and a victim dependent on her husband.” But take a look at Dowd’s defense of herself…
Oh, let’s not. Please.
Oh, all right.
“I’ve been twisting gender stereotypes around for 24 years,” Dowd responded. She said nobody had objected to her use of similar images about men over seven presidential campaigns. She often refers to Barack Obama as “Obambi” and has said he has a “feminine” management style…
“From the time I began writing about politics,” Dowd said, “I have always played with gender stereotypes and mined them and twisted them to force the reader to be conscious of how differently we view the sexes.” Now, she said, “you are asking me to treat Hillary differently than I’ve treated the male candidates all these years, with kid gloves.”
Can we correct this in the name of accuracy? As in, “From the time I began writing about politics, I have relied on and wallowed in gender stereotypes while reinforcing the most facile and condescending perceptions of our nation’s poltical class, not to mention my own sociopathic obsession with Bill Clinton’s penis, thereby forcing the reader to be conscious of how much my view of gender coincides with notions of feminity portrayed in George Cukor’s 1939 camp classic, ‘The Women’.”
Even The Times has enough sense to be appalled:
Aulisio, the reader who wanted a review of Times coverage, asked if a man could have gotten away with writing what Dowd wrote. Rosenthal said that if the man had written everything Dowd had written over the years and established himself as a sardonic commentator on the sexes, “I’d say the answer is yes.”
Of course, there is no such man, and I do not think another one could have used Dowd’s language. Even she, I think, by assailing Clinton in gender-heavy terms in column after column, went over the top this election season.
“Over to top” is the nicest way they could think of to say, “Off her meds and completely batshit crazy”.
And finally tonight, Carpetbagger thinks Unca Karl’s pathological jealousy is showing:
Karl Rove has made it clear on multiple occasions that he actively dislikes Barack Obama — if there’s a more helpful testament to the strength of Obama’s character, it doesn’t come to mind — and he continues to make his criticisms of the Democratic candidate more and more personal.
ABC News’ Christianne Klein reports that at a breakfast with Republican insiders at the Capitol Hill Club this morning, former White House senior aide Karl Rove referred to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, as “coolly arrogant.”
“Even if you never met him, you know this guy,” Rove said, per Christianne Klein. “He’s the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone who passes by.”
Oh, you know, Piggy. I think you’re getting Barack Obama confused with that scrawny, repressed, right-wing faggot with the shiny suits and a giant head, Stephen Green, aka the “VodkaPundit”.
Having never been to a Country Club myself except as a temp worker, I’ve never met “that guy” that Rove is so obviously threatened by and sooooo painfully jealous of.
Andrew Sullivan noted that Rove is “revealing more about his own insecurities than Obama’s.” I think that’s certainly true, but it’s worth going even further.
Of all the metaphors Rove could have used to attack the first credible African-American candidate for the presidency, he had to go with “the guy at the country club”? Seriously? Jake Tapper noted, accurately, that Obama “wouldn’t be admitted into many country clubs that members of the Capitol Hill Club frequent.”
Indeed. Because I feel fairly certain that the only black men at Karl Rove’s Country Club are there to slice the roast and bus tables.
Oh, poor Piggy. Maybe he’s gotten disoriented and forgotten that his erstwhile boss was “that guy” at the Country Club, swilling martinis, stealing off to the gents’ to do more blow, and handing out snide comments and insulting nicknames.
And finally, Greg Sargent notes the irony of Rove’s attack.
It should also be noted, of course, that Rove took a man who actually is a country club denizen who makes “snide comments” about others — that would be George W. Bush — and turned him into a regular Joe. Meanwhile, the guy who would struggle for admittance to some of these exclusive enclaves — Obama — is now “the guy at the country club.” Rovian up-is-downism at its finest.
Exactly. Rove’s description sounds spot-on like Bush — right down to the “snide comments” he makes about people who pass him by.
Rove is going to have to do better than this. Usually his ugly attacks aren’t quite this silly.
Or quite so self-contradictory. Last week, Barack Obama was the Mysterious Dark Outsider, possible Muslim Manchurian Candidate, the Great Dark (Did We Mention DARK?!) Unknown. This week, he’s some kind of privileged Country Club insider? Get it straight, Piggy! Apparently, “the math” isn’t the only thing you suck at.

Hey everyone. I had probably one ofthe most depressing conversations of my life this evening. The store hired a new bag bow who was working my register and we were talking during a lull. I asked him if he was in school, he said he graduates next year and then he’s joining the Army. I asked him why, he said to get money for college. We were both due to go on break so we continued our conversation outside. I asked him if he knew that chances were good that he would be exposed to some nasty stuff like depleted unranium and who knows what else once he got sent to Iraq, if he didn’t get crucial body parts blown off. Add to that the problems with the GI Bill and poor health care from the VA, and there was no guarantee he would get enough money to go to college. he said he wasn’t worried, he signed a contract and the Army wouldn’t screw him over.
What he said next chilled me. He said none of that mattered anyway, he was fighting for his country. He asked me who I was voting for, so I told him. He asked how I could do that since BO is a Muslim and swore his oath on a Koran. Then he started in on needing to drill any and everywhere in the US to get oil. I took a deep breath and told him he was fighting to make a few old men richer, BO’s not a Muslim, and there’s plenty of land already under lease that is not being drilled, and even if we drilled everywhere they want to it wouldn’t make a nickel’s difference. Finally I told him to stop watching Faux news and get some better information. He asked me how I knew he watched Faux. It took all I had not to laugh in his face.
This boy is as babyfaced as they come, seems like a nice kid, does his job well, is courteous to customers, and his head is completely crammed with propaganda that he has swallowed hook line and sinker.
Sorry to be so long, but the whole experience was just so depressing.

gold fish lived in lrge heavy glass bowl (now have plastic aquarium. i highly recmnd plastic. now.) slipped out of my hands in sink. spherical shaped, shattered and bounced up in blades like a guillotine…shards and bits flew all over kitchen…as far as 6 feet. good news is, only one hand/arm got it: nothing in eyes etc and no arteries .

By Gnome de Plume on Jun 24, 2008 12:04 am |
Laura, those tendons are sneaky. In graduate school, I had a friend who just nicked the inside joint of her pinky finger with an exacto knife. The tendon snapped all the way back to her elbow! She was in a cast up to her shoulder because they had to cut the whole arm open to pull the tendon back up. That was 30 years ago, before arthroscopics. Here’s hoping your tendon is much more cooperative.
By Laura on Jun 24, 2008 12:07 am |
thank u dr.d
I’ve been reading hand surgeons web pages 2day and looking at pix of this type of surgery. i think have good chance of getting tendon 2 work. don’t know about nerve…hope i learn more 2morrow.

Laura, I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you this, but the most important thing is to be cared for by a doctor who excels at this type of surgery.
I broke my finger a few years back while walking a dog (don’t ahsk) and was operated on by a fine splendid surgeon who explained to me how the structure of the human hand is proof of the existence of God.
Hope you feel better asap. Ouch ouch OUCH!
madmom — it is so very sad to think of that young man and the many, many others like him. But you done good for planting a seed — I don’t know if I could have had the patience to do even that.
On the flip side, one of the attendants in the garage in my place of employment (as noted previously, across the street from the FBI
– no 24/7 surveillance in THERE, no siree Bob) recently asked me where I got my Obama sticker. He talked about how hard it is making ends meet with two young children, working two jobs…..about his father who emigrated from El Salvador and always talked to him about JFK, and how he and his wife will be eligible for US citizenship next year. He REALLY sees Obama as a beacon of hope.

She approached a man and asked him to buy a ticket. He asked what the prize was and, when she told him, he said he already had one. To which she replied “Oh buy one, with any luck at all, you won’t win.” He bought, he didn’t win.

Laura: Best of luck with your finger, but skip the joke, they’re on to it. My partner A., a retired music professor, had to have rotator cuff surgery on his shoulder some years ago. During the pre-op consultation he asked the surgeon if he’d be able to play the piano afterwards. The doc looked at him and asked, slowly and suspiciously, “Could you play the piano before?”
A. said of course he could, and the doc said oh, oh good, sure, should be no problem.
