K-Lopez.jpg

National Review Online editor Kathryn Jean Lopez is usually found mooning over dreamy, but married men such as Mitt (shoulders you can land a 747 on) Romney, and George W. (choked on a pretzel) Bush (or, when she really wants a challenge, confirmed bachelors like Pope Benedict), while telling other women to start having babies and stop having sex. But in her Townhall column this week, Ko-Lo blazes a trail through new and unexplored wastelands of rejection with a fawning, seductive tribute to Sarah Palin, in an apparent effort to stir up some hot prude-on-gal action.

Palin, History and Life

When Sarah Palin speaks, liberal feminists go wild.

Really? I ask because recently I had drinks with several women who could be described as “liberal feminists,” and when Sarah Palin appeared on the television, and not a single one of them drizzled beer on her t-shirt, whipped her bra over her head like a lariat, or danced on the table, with or without underwear. Next time I should probably turn the sound up a little more.

The woman is like a stilettoed catalyst for backlash from the professional political sisterhood.

The simile is like a Mason jar for backwash from a woman who likes to rinse and spit.

Much of the bitterness that gushes forth from the lefty ladies has very little to do with Palin herself.

As seen in the latest release from National Review’s line of Porn for Conservatives: Socialist Squirters #4: Lefty Ladies Lugubriously Lap Laissez Faire Lubrication.

It’s about many of the things she represents:

Greed, rank opportunism, and a non-stick-to-itiveness that suggests she sprays on Pam as a sunblock.

She’s a happy mom, surrounded by a big family and husband; she’s pro-life, religious and conservative; and, lest we forget, a political powerhouse the likes of which has not been seen for decades.

You’d have to reach all the way back to Lonesome Rhodes. So let’s tally up her powerful political achievements: she was trounced in her one national campaign, and quit halfway through her term as governor of a remote, sparsely populated state. But her time as pageant royalty technically counts as executive experience under a constitutional monarchy, so if you throw that in, then she’s about ready for her diamond jubilee.

Palin talked about “a new revival of that original feminism of Susan B. Anthony.” She said, “Together, we’re showing young women that being pro-life is in keeping with the best traditions of the women’s movement.”

The tradition of spending decades struggling for a basic and hard-won right, so that subsequent generations of women can spend more decades chiseling away at it.

Palin talked about “empowering women,” and in her worldview that translates into making sure women know that they have options when they are pregnant in “less-than-ideal circumstances.”

Those options include “having the baby” and “having the baby,” unless the pregnancy threatens your life, in which case you have the option of “getting a nun excommunicated.”

In the rhetoric and reality of the liberal feminist movement from which a comment like that is born, freedom doesn’t extend to the unborn child. Increasingly, Americans are not tolerating this. In the tradition of the suffragettes, women, increasingly, will have none of it.

Well, they’ll have abortions, but they’ll pay for them with Susan B. Anthony dollar coins, which will heroically slow things down at check out, and make it a real pain in the ass for whoever has to go to the bank on Friday.

And so I understand why women of the left react early and often to Palin. It’s not about her, it’s about the threat to their power she represents. They’ve based so much of their political activism on the tenets of the sexual revolution, which have been such a disaster for women, men, children, and families.

Yeah, I love getting advice on my driving from someone who decided to ride in the trunk.

But the jig is up. It didn’t fly with the likes of Anthony and Stanton. And it’s increasingly not flying now. It’s not the pro-lifers who went rogue in the first place.

I thought going rogue was a good thing, something worth paying stylists, branding consultants and ghostwriters a lot of (your publisher’s) money. But then I read the asterisked disclaimer:

The two things which probably have surprised me most over the course of my life are 1) the fact that crappy, intelligence-insulting advertising continues to sell crappy, intelligence-insulting products fifty years after television first irradiated the nation’s living rooms with it for eight hours plus per day; and 2) that right-wing/High Church apologetics still take off from the utterly fabulous and then start lying. (Which, by the way, is more delusional: armies of feminists “embittered” by every Palin speaking engagement, or Sarah Palin, happy hausfrau and political juggernaut?) It’s the same shit I used to get every morning on the editorial pages of Gene Pulliam’s Indianapolis Birch Society Morning News in the Sixties: perpetual outrage that one’s political opponents were always being disagreeable.

As they worked to demonstrate that Anthony was indifferent on abortion, the Palin critics managed to conveniently skip over the other suffragettes and their writings in newspapers and letters.

Oh, yeah. Just like all the people complaining about BP never mention that none of Shell’s platforms is gushing oil. Beyond the nominative, I mean.

☺a non-stick-to-itiveness that suggests she sprays on Pam as a sunblock.☺

This would give an entirely New! Improved! meaning to “Teflon President”…

☺…while telling other women to start having babies and stop having sex.☺

Oh, fucking snap! Now they’ll have to sue you for their new slogan. I love it…

Oh, for fuck’s sake.

Nobody tell K-Lo that Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were fierce advocates of birth control (as a way of avoiding abortion, which was at the time hellaciously dangerous). That might give her teh sad.

and, lest we forget, a political powerhouse the likes of which has not been seen for decades.

They keep saying this. She FUCKING LOST.

Jesus Fucking Christ. Want to hear about a motherfucking powerhouse? A black guy with the middle name Hussein crushed America’s Favorite War Prisoner AND this same “powerhouse” after winning a hard fought primary against a high-profile Senator and former First Lady and despite being pretty weak tea is much MORE popular than KLo’s latest cause macabre.

This conservative cloudcoocoo land is really something to despise.

Not because it’s not amusing — it’s neigh hilarious – but because they try and force us to live in their idiotic dystopia. It’s not like I have a bias when it comes to this shit, but I’m currently living through it and the election results provided empirical proof. Barbie doomed McFuckface’s already pretty-shitty chances.

But I know, insulting smart people’s intelligence while stroking the fragile egos of their idiot audience IS the game for “conservative intellectualism’s” flagship magazine. The only difference between THAT and the stupid shit they wrote about 30 years ago was that during the Reagan regency (fuck, I’ll even grant that that corpse was a comparative “powerhouse”) they tried to whore up the basic Cardinal sins they worshiped with fancy words and “philosophical” dressings to pretend that there was some larger virtue to their douchebaggery. Now they can’t even do that. It’s all assertions and taunts.

I fear it’s terminal.

Janet Napolitano is more of a political powerhouse than Palin.

K. Lo rides in the trunk? Somebody tell Dan Savage…

liberal feminists go wild

I’d pay for that DVD!

The woman is like a stilettoed catalyst for backlash from the professional political sisterhood.

So she’s a reactive chemical in Manholos?

I hate you, Scott.

She’s a happy mom, surrounded by a big family and husband; she’s pro-life, religious and conservative; and, lest we forget, a political powerhouse the likes of which has not been seen for decades.

So she’s Nancy Pelosi, only dictatorial?

Palin talked about “empowering women,” and in her worldview that translates into making sure women know that they have options when they are pregnant in “less-than-ideal circumstances.”

In a “Matrix” kind of copper-top way…

They’ve based so much of their political activism on the tenets of the sexual revolution, which have been such a disaster for women, men, children, and families.

Yes, I concur. After all, if it wasn’t for the two-income American household, America wouldn’t have to outsource jobs: we’d have a steady supply of slaves here.

Just like all the people complaining about BP never mention that none of Shell’s platforms is gushing oil. Beyond the nominative, I mean.

You ever heard of a little nation called “Nigeria”?

Sarah Palin is the Paris Hilton of politics. Eventually even she will go away.

“…Much of the bitterness that gushes forth from the lefty ladies has very little to do with Palin herself…

Does she give even ONE example/instance of feminists gushing with bitterness towards Palin?

My own annoyance at Palin is being told by ugly dimwits like KLo that her existence frightens and angers me.

It’s sm ironic fact that if K-Lo weren’t so ugly, she’d have married and had scads of kids at age 14.

I believe that Sarah Palin is popular because everyone wants to sleep with her. I’m betting her star will lose its glow and she’ll be in Playboy by 2013…and Penthouse by 2014.

Let us add another notch to the Palin Political Powerhouse.

Idaho State Rep. Raul Labrador topped Vaughn Ward in the battle for the GOP nomination for Idaho’s 1st Congressional District.

While I’m always happy to see Palin’s reverse-mojo at work, I can’t get over the thought that “Raul Labrador” sounds like a male porn star from a Simpsons episode. Especially when he’s topping another GOP politician.

Well, the guy who topped Vaughn was a Teabagger…

You ever heard of a little nation called “Nigeria”?

yes, I seem to have acquired a few banker friends there over the years. They have oil too??

Well, the guy who topped Vaughn was a Teabagger…

So was Vaughan. In fact, Palin appeared with him.

So, curiously, is the Democrat in that race.

yes, I seem to have acquired a few banker friends there over the years. They have oil too??

Why yes! They are practically awash in it!

“Raul Labrador” sounds like a male porn star from a Simpsons episode.

I think Hank Azaria played “Raul Labrador” in _The Birdcage_.

Somebody send her a link to my site, willya.

@scott

It’s a furry scene, just the start of a full-on puppy pile! Be grateful I’m not including any links.

☺and, lest we forget, a political powerhouse the likes of which has not been seen for decades.☺

This is right up there with DoughBob’s “A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius”, except for one thing. K Lo’s statement could actually be read as true, given that Palin’s political powerhousiness, which has a negative value, is, indeed, unparalleled in American political history. And she almost does make W look brilliant. She looks better in pedal pushers, tho…

Please post again soon. K Lo’s photo is haunting me, like a “Wanted” poster at the Post Office: that dead-fish-eye stare of one hellbent on reviving the worship of Baal and infant sacrifice.

I think Hank Azaria played “Raul Labrador” in _The Birdcage_.

Actually, it was SPARTACUS Raul Labrador…

Something to say?
