(Update)The Vagina Monomanias
By Mona
.
What is it with right-wing bloggers and their fixation on the female fun part? They simply cannot shut up about vaginas, and are seeing them and ranting about them everywhere. Sadly,No is the go-to site for the Ace of Spades’ fixation on we wimmins’ icky nether parts. And now, they find Ann Athouse figuring Hillary doesn’t want Bill consuming onion rings cuz — I kid you not — they are vagina symbols.
.
Of course, as SN also captures, the way Michelle Malkin is ogling an onion ring would then suggest her hubby may have cause to worry. And also catch how Instapuzt finds Althouse leaving herself, er, open for suggestion of invitation.
***Update: Ok, commencers are noting Alehouse says she was just kidding, and only thinking Hillary was promoting her healthcare concerns in denying Bill has onion rings and insisting instead on carrots. And ere at UO, commenter Monte Davis says: “Surely we are not blind — even in the dark — to the significance of what Hillary ordered instead for Energizer Bill:Carrot sticks.” But folks, sometimes a carrot is not just a carrots Althouse — who insists all that the Clintons do is ripe for Freudian analysis — makes obvious:
Nevermind, no matter what I did I couldn’t get graphic to take.

“He loves and hates it as he loves and hates himself.” Tolkien has it covered pretty well – people who are at peace with themselves, and who don’t get their jollies from sex being dirty, are free to develop other fixations.

There seems to be a lot of derangement going on among University of Wisconsin profs these days. In addition to the Nonstop Nonsequitur Machine with the Bizarre Freudian Fixations, we also have the dean of American climatologists going a bit off the rails in his dotage.
Reid Bryson is 87 and helped lay the groundwork for the scientific study of global warming. Years ago, I had him as a professor, and he was known as a brilliant scientist and a wonderful teacher. He was a poet of climate, a lyricist of weather, a mesmerizing lecturer about climate’s impact on humans and vice versa. Now he bad-mouths Al Gore and his skeptical statements are widely quoted by global warming opponents. What happened? The University of Wisconsin emeritus prof outlived his expertise and found himself stranded on the far side of a paradigm shift.
Because of his considerable accomplishments in the past, we should probably cut Bryson a bit of slack; after all, he is 87. But Ann Althouse is not.

It’s not all about the batter-dipped wives, y’know.
Surely we are not blind — even in the dark — to the significance of what Hillary ordered instead for Energizer Bill:Carrot sticks.

What got me is that this skit was obviously poking fun at Bill’s appetite for fast food. I guess some people can’t even see a joke when it’s put right in front of their…. faces (yes, that’s the ticket).

I am given to understand that shortly after talking about onion rings as symbols for vaginas, AA bragged about having sucked her critics into her “vortex.”
….seems to be a running gag. still.

Didn’t he, er, once rather famously stop at a fast food place for a bite – in the middle of a jog?

Mmmkay, Ann, but anyone who googles “Althouse” and “breasts” — or searches Lawyers, Guns and Money for their hilarious mockery of her fixation on a feminist blogger who has….BOOBS! … and wears sweaters that (gasp!) reveal the fact, already knows Althouse is a nutcase on above-the-navel female fun parts as well.
Added to note: an insane rant Althouse went on also in the context of Bill Clinton, with whom the hussy Gap-sweatered blogger posed for a group foto. Nuaghty, naughty feminist blogger with boobies not bound down.

Althouse’s follow-up is probably just the old trick of ‘I was only *joking* – come on, nobody would say that for real’.
This rarely works in real life, after having stepped on one’s, um, male fun bit in public. But right-wing bloggers seem to get away with it.
