In Ace’s defense, when all you have going for you is fear, trembling and twisted knickers, sometimes you just gotta take a break to rest up some.

Loesh: whatever happened to that conservative mantra (vis a vis the Patriot Act) of “If you’ve got nothing to hide you’ve got nothing to worry about?”

Lie back, relax, and think of Reagan.

Well, after Dana’s groin pat-down narrative, I guess we learned that her husband doesn’t put out.

And, Dana, if you didn’t get pix, then it didn’t happen.

You know, if I had been attending NN this past weekend, I would totally have wanted to be sporting a bright flashy “I AM BRETT KIMBERLIN” T-shirt. Reactions would have been priceless!

Not to Dana’s husband: Just because you are wearing a medium t-shirt and size 34 shorts, doesn’t mean you ARE a medium shirt size and 34 waist.

Side note. My photo shop skills are poor at best, but I will be brushing up asap, eagerly awaiting the next contest with Hoft/Ace of Spades/Loesch as a centerpiece. The possibilities are endless.

Obviously Miss Dana misunderstood – the TSA picked up indicators for nitrites - from the lovely couple’s early morning activities amidst the breakfast buffet….

Ace’s weepfest against ‘anger’ would be a little less funny if he didn’t have a pirates flag as his logo and HL Mencken urging him to slit throats as his blog manifesto.

But only a little.

Folks, you must check out Alvin McEwen’s splendid and rigorously polite takedown of Jim Hoft the Negro Toucher:

Me: Mr. Hoft, I loved your work on Kevin Jennings.

Hoft: Well thank you

Me: I would have loved it more if it was accurate. Come on man, you know that stuff wasn’t true.

Hoft: (nervous laugh)

Me: I mean come on, seriously, where did you get that stuff.

Hoft: Well I’d have to look over it.

Me: But you wrote it and you were wrong.

Hoft: Well I don’t remember . . .

Me: Well I could send you the information. Are you going to correct any of what you said.

Hoft: Well I’d have to look over it

(Hoft begins to move away from me.)

Me: Wait a minute, where are you going? Let’s continue to talk. I haven’t even mentioned the Obama speech stuff. That was when you said Obama’s people was ordering audience members to applaud but it was really the Jumbotron for the hearing impaired.

Hoft: Well . . like I said, I would have to look at it.

Me: Well I got your twitter, I can send you where you got it wrong if you send me your address.

(Hoft was already gone)

Go check out the rest of the post for McEwen’s encounter with Dana Loesch.

Wait. What? Loesch is complaining about TSA and the stupid prono-rape scan machines that do eff all but bathe you in loads of Xrays (even tho TSA minions are instructed to tell you that they don’t and aren’t dangerous)?? I thought people like Loesch was all down with the Patriot Act, and that if you had nothing to hide, then all was good in the land.

Is Loesch now having 2d thoughts about that? Well, welcome to my world, honey… I’ve been living in that *reality* for quite some time. Go get ‘em, tiger.

This would be, uh, interesting, if it wasn’t so damn stupid. Suddenly some conservative is *inconvenienced* and then light dawns that the TSA & Chertoff’s taxpayer rip-off machines are worse than worthless, not to mention how stupid that pat-downs are. Oh but when us libtards say it, we’re fucking retarded or something. It’s only for realz when a honest to goodness conservative happens to have to deal with reality, and then the whining victimization commences.

I’m sure Loesch would still be all for it to happen to all libtards, but not to her “kind.” Maybe we all need to carry ID cards now to see who gets the pat-down and who doesn’t? I’m sure Loesch would be up for that, so that she’s not inconvenienced.

BTW I fly a lot and opt for pat-downs v. the Xray of doom machines. I’ve noted that, lately, TSA takes it’s own damn time to get around to the pat-down, like sometimes up to 10 min before anyone “has the time,” despite what looks like hundreds of TSA peons wandering around aimlessly behind the scenes. They really want us serfs to go through Chertoff’s xray of doom machine. I make sure I get to the airport in enough time to sweat it out.

derp

onitgoes,
Might I suggest the next time, go commando and slip on tennis shoes while wearing an orange jump suit. Also, too, an optional “Political Prisoner in Training” stenciled on the back.

If RMoney wins, republicans will have special cards to exempt them from scans, pat-downs, and shoe removal. Only Dems and Socialists will be subjected to groping, death rays, and sticky floors.

I understand inconvenience, embarrassment, feeling degraded, etc.. It happens almost every time I have to go to the doctor for anything. I certainly don’t enjoy the TSA scrutiny. Still, I don’t get the ultra civil rights outcry by fellow liberals. As I recall, Republicans wanted to continue to contract airport security out to private enterprise. It was primarily the Democrats in congress who pushed for creation of the TSA. I think it’s the last government hiring program I can remember. The employees don’t set the policy, and I bet the number who could be found to enjoy “patting down” the people boarding airplanes would equal the number of voter frauds that actually occur. Maybe we have no need for continued security, although that seems unlikely, but I do know we don’t need anymore badmouthing government, since we’re suffering from 40 years of successful right wing brainwashing about the evils of government.

Clearly, it’s Obama’s fault. And quite possibly, Malia’s.

THIS is what happens when you’re too cheap to buy Astroglide!

I have a very close relative who is a TSA supervisor. Performing pat-downs is the most distasteful part of her job, with requesting humans to walk through the “perfectly safe” full body scanner a close second. Because she knows the dose of radiation a person gets far exceeds the daily yearly recommended amount.

She is a dedicated government employee (as are, she tells me, her colleagues). I trust her completely. And I love her dearly.

Thanks. I was afraid I might be taken for the daily scold.

Meanwhile, on a dare,Jim Hoft touched a negro

I am hearing this read in the voice of a young Chevy Chase.

Most Persecuted White Man In America.

a.k.a. Most Persecuted American, amirite? Because, hey, who else matters?!

That’s strange, because I read all of TBogg’s posts in the voice of Morgan Freeman.

Isn’t it hilarious how the Kochs are forced to invent Potemkin awards and spend money on hotels and airfare for the bloggers they have and not the bloggers they wish they had or might have in the future?

I guess it’s better than them stealing welfare and no doubt the Kochs get that warm trickle down feeling from it all.

As an old fart I’ve decided to pass on a trip to NYC for my 50th high school reunion next year, unless I decide to take the train. I’m not going to go through the scanner just so I’ll be able to read in bed with the light off, and I’m sure that my industrial strength underwire bra would set off all sorts of metal detectors. It pissed me off enough to have to take off my shoes. Trust me, TSA, you do NOT want to see me without a bra…

Anyway, he is now tied with Ace for the Most Persecuted White Man In America.

No way, uh uh, impossible. Do you realize how many contestants there are for that position and title? Just think of all the people out there who are no longer permitted to use the n****r word in polite conversation…and they miss it. That right there is serious persecution, if you’re Rush Limbaugh or one of his listeners.

Jim Hoft touched a negro

In the same way that Sarah Palin Heath touched a negro?

As an old fart

I thought “old fart” was first declension masculine.

These Guys

OB1 (…Kenobi?): that rocks.

I hate it when libertarian assholes treat TSA employees like shit. In that short tape, the TSA guy acted very professionally, despite her attempts to rile him. It’s like that other asshole who warned the TSA guy about touching his junk. The audio showed clearly that the TSA acted calmly and professionally, while the young guy and his father acted like arrogant assholes. Did I use “asshole” too much? I just can’t think of a more descriptive term.

Just to be clear: I have no problem with TSA being a govt/public sector agency & job. When I refer to TSA employees as peons, you can include me in a description of being a peon. That’s how I see most of the 99% these days. IF we’re going to have something like the TSA doing this work, then I’d rather see it be public, rather than private, for a whole range of reasons.

That said, my experiences with TSA have really varied. Many workers are courteous and helpful. Some are not and can be rude for no real reason (although we all have bad days).

Just noting that lately I’ve *routinely* been made to wait 10 minutes or longer for pat-downs at various airports, and I can *always* see quite a few workers who seem to be milling around. Finally, 10 or more min later one of them will detach themselves from the herd and deign to give me a pat-down.

I think it’s because they’ve been directed to not be so “available” to do pat-downs. I think it’s bc the PTB want to force the rest of us peons through the radiation box (probably based partly on some “cost saving” measure). No thanks.

Just saying…
