Well, it appears that Clinton Derangement Syndrome has driven Dame Althouse right ’round the twist. I’ve maintained for months that the Lesser Perfesser was a few balloon animals shy of a birthday party, but today, oh, today she has hopped on the short bus to Woof-Woof Land and left a note (in crayon) behind saying that she hates us all and she’s never, ever coming back (via Roy at Alicublog).
You see, Senator Clinton, in her effort to appear more hip and savvy to the new Wired World of Politics, has (at least tentatively) embraced the realm of irony and sly humor. She has a ways to go before she’s going to be anybody’s choice to replace Rosie on “The View”, but I thought that in her new campaign spot with Bill she did a decent job. The spot is modeled after the final scene of the series finale of “The Sopranos” with Hillary as Tony and Bill as her Carm, meeting in a diner while Chelsea struggles to parallel park (a la Meadow) outside.
The spot is actually pretty charming if you ask me. It sure beats Mike Gravel’s creepy “I Am Standing on Your Lawn Staring at Your House Because I’m Stalking Your Vote” ad.
But to a person as gravely afflicted with CDS as Althouse, the “Bill and Hillary Soprano” short is riddled with deeply sinister Freudian undertones, shot through with double entendres, and Not Suitable for Viewing by Children. She honestly wrote the following (Brace yourself. No, really, I mean it. Teh Crayzee is about to fly thick and fast in here.):
4. Bill says “No onion rings?” and Hillary responds “I’m looking out for ya.” Now, the script says onion rings, because that’s what the Sopranos were eating in that final scene, but I doubt if any blogger will disagree with my assertion that, coming from Bill Clinton, the “O” of an onion ring is a vagina symbol.
Uhhhhhh, hold up, wait a minute. This blogger strongly disagrees and I’m sure if you gave me a couple minutes, I could run out in the yard and round up a couple dozen more, at least.
But, you were saying, Ann:
Hillary says no to that, driving the symbolism home. She’s “looking out” all right, vigilant over her husband, denying him the sustenance he craves. What does she have for him? Carrot sticks! The one closest to the camera has a rather disgusting greasy sheen to it. Here, Bill, in retaliation for all of your excessive “O” consumption, you may have a large bowl of phallic symbols! When we hear him say “No onion rings?,” the camera is on her, and Bill is off-screen, but at the bottom of the screen we see the carrot/phallus he’s holding toward her. Oh, yes, I know that Hillary supplying carrots is supposed to remind that Hillary will provide us with health care, that she’s “looking out for” us, but come on, they’re carrots! Everyone knows carrots are phallic symbols. But they’re cut up into little carrot sticks, you say? Just listen to yourself! I’m not going to point out everything.
Apparently in the Mind of Ann Althouse absolutely anything (even something as innocuous as a humble onion ring) gets larded down with layers of psycho-sexual significance when it’s submerged in the warm, sticky tide of sexual charisma that surrounds our former president like a fog.
Boy, I bet Jessica Valenti is relieved by this development. Looks like we now have conclusive proof that the whole Unpleasantness from last fall was just a spasm of Althouse’s mania to compulsively eroticize anything and anyone (apparently up to and including innocent foodstuffs) that is unlucky enough to be photographed with Big Dog. I wonder if Ms. Valenti realizes now that she could have been wearing a blouse made of prepared vegetables and the reaction would have been exactly the same.
I think it’s time we collected Miz Althouse and turned her over to some kind of behavioral science unit for study. A case this advanced could perhaps provide us with clues and insights into other victims of severe CDS like Chris Matthews, who was shouted down by an audience today for not asking Senator Clinton anything even remotely serious or substantive in a public question and answer session.
Over at Althouse’s blog, even her readers are starting to uneasily eye the exits:
- dave™© said…
- Lady, you are bug fuck crazy.Bug. Fuck. Crazy.
- Invisible Man said…
- Wow…I mean just Wow. I don’t even know where to start with that one.
- trifecta said…
- This one does go into the crazy lady who watches too much Sanjaya drinking cheap wine file.Sorry. You are entering Chris Matthews/Dick Morris land. It’s a scary little world.
This one is my favorite:
- steve simels said…
- I’ve been saying for weeks that the voices in Ann’s head were getting louder and louder.She’s reaching meltdown, folks.Seriously, the preening narcissist and one-woman non-sequitur generator is, I think, only one glass of chardonnay away from buying and Uzi and taking out 30 college kids while vlogging an American Idol rerun.Don’t say you haven’t been warned.
Damn.
Now I really want some onion rings.

Close to one?
crap!
The Zed may be gone, but we will carry it in our hearts forever.
Evenin’, T. How you be?
What kind of fuckery is this?!?!
Maybe I’ll read and find out.
Wow. Such bizarre projection. Just. Dee. Ranged.
I saw we turn her over to our very own Dr. Kirk Murphy. Let him take rehabilitate her and her fuckery.
TRex is on his way home and will be joining us shortly.
triciawrites, congratulations on the non-zed.
Goddamn, what a LOOOOOOOON.
Loonieloonloon.
Wow.
But TRex, I thought you were the type that liked carrots better than onion rings!
Hi y’all!!
Never (seriously, and I AM a girl scout) tried to do numbero uno.
Dang close in my estimation.
Love you all.
TRex…we’ll be here at the same time in the future, DOLL. But, not tonight. Ask Loo Hoo. I been burnin’ the candle…both ends.
Still….
Y’all are the best.
Suzanne…once a blonde…(luv ya).
From downstairs…
Loo Hoo YGM…Paule’s email address.
Gonna go cross eye here, so I’ll say G’nite.
But, before I do,
My list of Good Stuff Today:
Mr. Moore went to hear Larry Johnson tonight.
Gotta interview at a groovy (I SO hope) non-profit org on Monday.
Got a letter from Dianne FI today in the mail.
Tomorrow’s the last day of school for the kiddling.
Oh, there’s more, but I’m too tired….
Think we could get Bill to tip her completely over the edge and send her a cigar?
sleep well, demi. we will be here tomorrow :)
Suzanne, I try.
But, gotta get them engines charged…to bed for me…tomorrow, then, dear. (heart)
Got your email, demi, thanks. I’m scared to read this article, but here goes!
SnarKassandra @ 14
Hi. I wasn’t sure I wanted to say anything about TRex’s taste in side dishes…so thanks for taking it out of my hands.
Unbelieveable.
And I thought some of the wingnut comments about Hillary’s new theme song were over the top. (Outsourcing her campaign to Canada? Please.)
But speaking of that new theme song . . . Personally, I think HRC’s trying to suck up to Pach, going with Celine Dion.
lol, but I liked “I Am Standing on Your Lawn Staring at Your House Because I’m Stalking Your Vote”
in a dadaist sorta way.
but, hey, I’m weird. now i’ll go back and finish reading.
As the first guy quoted, I should point out we’re not exactly her “readers.”
We just watching the slow-motion mental car wreck…
Peterr @ 21
Did you see what Olbermann said about the theme songs? That she should have used the Journey one?
SnarKassandra @ 24
I love KO.
Here in Madison, Wisconsin, not only do we have the Non Sequitur Machine with the Bizarre Freudian Fixations all cathecting, as they say, on Bill Clinton, but we also have the 87-year-old UW emeritus professor and “father of U.S. climatology” turning into a gobal warming denying crank:
Reid Bryson is 87 and helped lay the groundwork for modern theories 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 the know-nothing right. What happened? The University of Wisconsin emeritus prof outlived his expertise and found himself stranded on the far side of a paradigm shift.
Ann Althouse, however, isn’t 87 years old.
OT:
Army again considers longer combat tours
WASHINGTON – The Army is considering whether it will have to extend the combat tours of troops in Iraq if President Bush opts to maintain the recent buildup of forces through spring 2008.

Anything other than Celine. Don’t care for her singing though she’s probably a perfectly nice person.
Onion rings are vagina symbols? Straight people can be SO weird sometimes.
SnarKassandra @ 24
Nope. Was cooking dinner.
Grilled kielbasa, with “Lower East Side Potato Pierogis” (mashed potatos and grilled onions, stuffed inside potsticker wrappers, and boiled for 3 minutes), with a caesar salad alongside. Yum.
No onion rings.
Lovely job as always, TRex. Thanks for the phrase, “a few balloon animals shy of a birthday party.”
Dare I ask what the Rethuglican contenders are doing for campaign themes? My vote for McCain would have to be “Still Crazy After All These Years.”
OT, but:
Mau I be the first to urge that Bush pardon Rudy’s crack-addicted South Carolina cocaine campaign manager?
I mean, there’s no underlying crime here. The guy’s being set up by an overzealous prosecutor. Ok, so he traded some cocaine for a little cash, but that doesn’t make him a *coke dealer*. I mean, who hasn’t? I’m sure Bush can sympathize.
Really, it’s just a shame. And I feel really, really bad for his family — assuming he has any, which I don’t know. But even so, like Rich Cohen said, jail is scary for white-collar people.
Besides, it’ll make us look open minded and less shrill if we can, when advocating for a Libby jail sentence, tell conservative critics that we’d be happy to support a pardon for Giuliani’s coke addict campaign.
Doncha’ think?

SC GOP State Treasurer Busted For Bolivian Marching Powder:
Did anyone else not realize that they were carrot sticks? They looked like some weird nouveau health food to me. I remember thinking, “What the hell ARE those?”
It’s that sex obsession of the repubs at work yet again. Never ceases to amaze does it? How many of the comments agreed with her (I’d go look b ut I think I might be sick)?
Great post, as usual TRex. I guess one would have to eat a lot of carrots to gain enough eyesight to see that point of view.
Probably only room for one head up that ass at a time tho.
JGabriel @ 38
Heh! I shoulda known JG would beat me to it.
Yet another case of “If This Were A Democrat It Would Have Led The Evening News”.
My first reaction was: That can’t be right. For one thing I can’t stand eating onion rings.
I decided that this was a totally inappropriate remark so just let me paraphrase Freud and say that sometimes an onion ring is just an onion ring.
Of course, how wingnuts perceive the universe is something of a mystery. They can look at Bush and not see the worst President in our history. They can look at Scooter Libby and not see a felon. They can look at the Iraq war and not see it for the disaster it is. I’m surprised they don’t see the unholy onion ring as a sign of the Last Days but maybe that’s just if Hillary gets elected. *g*
Frank Probst @ 34

God, if only Hillary had chosen Liz Phair’s ‘Supernova’ (”You fuck like a volcano and you’re everything to me”) or, even better, ‘Flower’ (”I want to be your blowj*b queen”)as her campaign song or background music for the video, now *that* would have really driven Althouse over the edge.
Alas, it would have also provided way too much fodder for further Republican libels on Hillary & Bill’s marriage. But, damn, Althouse’s reaction might have just been worth it.

Your midnight snack.
After my disastrous presentation nails for biting a few days ago, today’s snack comes with an explanation.
The vegetables (including MANY carrots) are INSIDE the onion ring. Don’t ask me about the rest of the veggies. And no speculation at all about this snack for at least three minutes. (Ms S just went off to bed.) Thank you.
Mods: Someone please kill my posts at 59 and 64? Screwed up in the editor, think I must have hit ‘quote’ instead of ‘edit’ comment.
And kill this one too.

It’s like watching Alphonse Bertillon in his old age ranting against the new fingerprints fad that was causing police forces around the globe to forsake his carefully-crafted “bertillionage” system. He lived just long enough to see his life’s work flushed down the toilet.
She keeps guzzling the vino and her brain will reach 87 a few decades before the rest of her.
Something fun to do with carrot sticks.
Cut them long and slender and soak them in salt water. When they are very limber, tie a knot in the center of each one. Soak in cold fresh water until they firm back up to their original crispy state. Serve with party dip as how-de-do-dats.
Tell them you grew them that way. Way cool.
And with that goofiness, I’m off to bed.
Attention-seeking Altmouse gets her wish.
(I’ll never look at onion rings the same way again, tho.)

Kirk will also need vats and vats of brain bleach …
Given TRex’s post last night about the GA house race, here’s an update from the AP: As expected, Whitehead leads, but only with 44% of the vote (99% precincts reporting). Thus it looks like there will be a runoff.
That’s the good news.
The bad news is that TRex’s longshot progressive hope, James Marlow, is 115 votes behind another GOP candidate, Paul Broun.
It ain’t over yet, TRex . . . keep your tiny little forelimbs crossed, or whatever you do for luck.

As soon as I read Suz’s comment, I thought of you, Petro! Maybe you could teach her a thing or two! With the added bonus, she’d be out of the States!!! Aloha, Ya’ll!!! 8-)
Drivin’ by, but glad that Ms. Althouse has projected her sexual neuroses onto the Clintons. I was so worried that the obsession with Clinton sex had gone away, sort of like high school social hierarchies.
Oh, wait, right, apparently everyone in this world is still in high school.

As a former restaraunt worker, I’m picturing the fun the wait staff will have the next time the Lesser Professor goes out to dinner.
For instance, imagine Ann asking for suggestions from the appetizer menu, to which the server replies, “Have you ever tried the onion rings?”
Or after the meal, the server o-so-politely asks: “And how were the carrots tonight, ma’am?”
If she keeps this up, she’ll never be able to eat out again in her life.

I think that, being generous souls, we should take up a collection for ole Ann, and get her what she needs.

I don’t know if relieved would be the right word. I’m sure it’s nice to know that all that breast fixation was just a function of Althouse’s jealousy and psychopathic sexual fixation on Clinton, but on the other hand, that means that to Althouse, Jessica’s just another onion ring. Or eggs sunny side up. Or something.
Perhaps a certain ambivalence is the mot juste.

Tbes, now you’ve got me thinking of a favorite summer dessert, chocolate pizza.
Roll yourself out some pie dough and put it on a pizza pan. Bake till golden.
Spread a layer of chocolate pudding on cooled dough. (Not instant pudding, please.)
Whip up some cream and spread it on the cooled pudding.
Grate some good chocolate and sprinkle on top.
Chill and serve. Yum!

As for TRex’s blog and the humor that far, that seems hilarious too! On the news tonight seeing people call each other names or accuse each other of various nefarious deeds, I felt more of the daily despair—- so this humor was good, now I can sleep without nightmares. Onionrings, good grief!
juslin, don’t make me stop this car. And don’t even think about doing tossing that my way.
Chocolate pizza is perfect for a foodfight, juslin!
Sploosh! Jam hits wall.

Bananas in a Waldorf salad ?!!
So, “carrot sticks” can be “stiffened” by soaking in fresh cool water. Good to know.
My mom’s favorite fruit salad involved LARGE quantities of Meyers’ Rum.
My stepmom is from Indiana and the most curious introduction to our holiday table was something called Watergate Salad.
I never have been entirely able to ascertain what’s in it, but it involves the adulteration of perfectly normal pistachio pudding with canned pineapple and marshmallows.
Brrrrr. It’s the most eerie shade of radium green, too.

‘Scuse me, folks, but I can’t get enough of the Digby thread, so I snuck back downstairs to finish reading the comments.

Hey, Suzanne! Lotsa little political events in Alaska today, but I was too busy to keep up. Watching the 10:00 night news, there are so many politicians going down – all GOP – that it is just freaking amazing. Usually this stuff closes down for the summer unless it is an election year, but the FBI keeps these guys in the limelight. Sadly, on the news, another former colleague and friend from my corrections days – Frank Prewitt – ex-DOC commissioner, has his name surfacing as part of the Veco scandal.

Via War and Piece:
Ha’aretz: Netanyahu departs for U.S. in bid to increase pressure on Iran. … “Netanyahu will then arrive in Washington where he will meet for talks on the Iranian issue with Vice President Dick Cheney, Democratic Party presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, and Republican Party presidential hopeful Fred Thompson.”
I don’t even know what to say about this.
Hm. I love onion rings. I’m also a gay man. Do you think the SecundoPerfessor would deconstruct that for me?
Hahahaha..

ET, Josh at TMP has a piece up today asking for all kinda of AK info. Was hoping you would stop by so I could make sure you saw it.
waving to jacqrat
Margot @ 301
It has already been said:
“President Bush lacks the political power to attack Iran. As an American strike in Iran is essential for our existence, we must help him pave the way by lobbying the Democratic Party (which is conducting itself foolishly) and US newspaper editors. We need to do this in order to turn the Iranian issue to a bipartisan one and unrelated to the Iraq failure.
We must turn to Hillary Clinton and other potential presidential candidates in the Democratic Party so that they publicly support immediate action by Bush against Iran. We should also approach European countries so that they support American actions in Iran, so that Bush will not be isolated in the international arena again.”
pow wow stopped through several times today with a strong recommendation for folks to read this independent report on Iraq..
I wanted pass it along in case anyone is interested.
With that, I bid you all a good night.
g’nite es.. sleep well

A couple of years ago, I told Josh in an e-mail I thought he should tone down his ego. He did, but hasn’t written back since. Of course, he’s been busier since then… one of my heroes, but I think he regards me as too pro-Palestinian to trust.
I’ve written extensively about how pathetic Alaska media is compared to outside sources on GOP corruption here. Almost always, TPM Muckraker is the best node for comparing this new generation of Alaska muck stories to other such tales around the USA, and I cite them as an example of the best of the best. I comment there a cuple or more times per week, but only on Alaska.
waving back at suz.. poked you back, too.
ET @ 306,
I think not. I mean, Hell no! What is wrong with these people?
darn near put my eye out with that thang, jacqrat
ET – my take was that he was wanting to keep the eye of the media on what was happening in AK and was wanting news articles and such that are not as available here in the lower 48
I just parachuted in to see what was up…

Gen. Tira made the remarks about Iran, Bush and Clinton in December. What do you mean by “Hillary had better promptly dispel….?” Nobody in the US media has even asked her about Gen. Tira’s remarks, nor has she made comments on them.

First I hear South Carolina Treasuer Ravenel is charged with Crack which has a much higher sentence, now its Coke which has a lower penalty. Kos has an article saying the penalty for Coke Max is 20 years. I’m sure the minority comunity is going to be pissed if he gets a deal even if Ravenel names names. Which given they probably have Ravenel’s phone records he better talk fast before the Feds bust his connection. First Scooter then Paris and now Ravenel the political climate for pardoning Scooter has just gotten more toxic too many rich people are getting busted and trying to get special treatment. If however Ravenal starts naming South Carolina Republican poltical names to save his skin then the story gets even more play on TV making things worst for Scooter.
Never mind Scooter South Carolina has just gotten a lot more competive guilt by suspicion is going to hurt all of Ravenal’s political friends. That and the hard core anti drug crowd is going to turn on the GOP. Driving from Seattle to Illinois last summer I saw lots of signs in Red Western states saying “Meth Free Comunity”. I saw signs painted on Farmer’s barns saying “Meth Kills ” I saw a beautiful painting on the side of a barn of a young woman somebody’s Daughter, Wife, Girlfriend don’t know for sure next to a Meth Kills sign. Democrats should talk about stopping Meth it seems like a Western State win.
Wait, so Bill was eating a bowl full of dicks and Althouse didn’t immediately claim that he must be secretly gay? Sloppy journalism there, Ann. Sloppy.

Good morning, pups. Late because of computer problems today. The NYT has MoDo on Hillary, and onion rings (yes, THOSE onion rings) and the Sopranos, and Thomas Friedman on the Palestinian civil war.

Coffee and tea are ready, and so is a selection of bagels with cream cheese. Have a splendid day.
Good morning!
I watched the Mike Gravel ad. Am I going to die now?
I think we’re seeing more weird psychology here (with Althouse, I mean. I don’t know what the f$&^ we’re seeing with Gravel).
For all her professed hatred of liberalism and especially Big Dog, I think she’s hot for him. She buys into the Satyr-like image the Right has crafted, and — casting herself mentally as the repressed Victorian lady — she wants to get wild in the woodlands. I have no other explanation for her weird hyper-eroticism with all things Clinton.
Do all these Clinton-bashing conservatinas just need to get some action?
My Gods, how many personal issues are the rightwingers going to parade in front of us?

Good morning. I just went to the Althouse website. The comments are very entertaining. I think we’ve reached a tipping point here. Americans are waking up and revolting against the nonsense we’ve been fed for the last 6 years. They’re starting to call the politicians/media/pundits on their bulls**t.

That and the comments on the Cohen article calling for Bush to remediate Libby’s sentence.
How’s this…30 months with a reduction for time served ;-)

And yesterday there were 98 glorious pages of smackdown (leavened by a remarkably uninteresting and dispirited group of 2% or so dead enders) of Richard “lights out” Cohen’s idiocy in the WaPo. It was great and instructive to see a readership calling bull on his spewing.. Good times..
This comment about Benji Netanyahoo going to meet with Hillary, Guilini and Thompson?
Is THAT coming from Netanyahoo’s office…or from HoJo?
I think Hillary should bluntly state that she won’t speak with an unelected Israeli citizen who did his most to sabotage every effort that her husband made for Peace between the Palestinians and the then elected government of Israel.
And if HoJo is behind this she should tell him to “F*

Wow, I couldn’t read all the comments on Ann Lushwell’s post but there are some seriously unhinged people who apparently think this woman has something important to say. In serious EPU country here but couldn’t let this one go unnoticed. And she teaches law? Now that’s a scary thought. I wonder how many of her former students now work at DOJ.

ok, what man among us hasn’t stacked onion rings on his tumescent appendage to see how many he could fit? ok, I’ve never done it either… worried about grease burns… but I imagine I’d need an entire bag of Ore-Idas at least!

Onion Rings = Vagina.
To quote the great Keanu, “Whoa!”
Mostly likely in EPU-land, but I just have to say that “Sometimes a carrot stick is just a carrot stick.”
The one thing this author has in common with the person they are attacking is that they both take themselves WAY too seriously.
Oh goddammit, I love those baby carrots. Great to snack on, easy to cook and good for you. Does this make me gay?
A few tiles short of a hacienda indeed.
The Gravel ads are vintage ’60s absurdist comedy. Almost Monty Python-esque. They don’t whack you over the head with their attempt at humor, but they’re a far gutsier move than a SNL-level parody of the pop culture moment of last week.
Then again, Gravel has little to lose by trying something completely different.
I have had to pause and give a long think to “the meaning” of the advertisement. It’s kind of a Rohrschach (sp) thing and could have many meanings. The carrots & onions theme probably popped into some people’s minds because of the time of day and hunger on the mind. But, there are other possibilities.
I’d rather think it doesn’t indicate much of anything. It gets Hilary’s face on t.v. without her having to say anything — and that’s apparently the best she has to offer.
The tentative offer of “Isn’t peace and prosperity for 8 years worth doing again?” is first of all not guaranteed and second NOT ENOUGH. I add the “NOT ENOUGH” because I believe there are a lot of pent up needs of Americans and we can’t afford Republican-Lite again. We can’t afford to let Bush &Co off with a slap on the wrist. We can’t afford to accept the moral decrepitude they offer us. We need more.
If I were being snarky I might suggest the sudden blank ending is how I’d like to see the Clinton show come to an end. We need to get past that era and make some big progress with new leadership.
