As a “Melinda”, just the fact that she goes by “Mindy” makes her completely foul in my book. And like, you know and stuff.

She’s Orthodox?
Wow. That’s one racy eruv she’s trying to string together.

“Juvenile Pink” is the name of my Runaways cover band.

Why not just make everything exciting and animated

Like those Japanese seizure cartoons?

LikeTotallyAwesome.bitches.get some!

This makes me sad for the L&T Casey’s entire generation…

You are totally correct – the work they’re going to have to perform to overcome the impression created by people like this is appalling.

Long time lurker, but had to register just to say “mighty fine run on sentence to start this post.”

I are cornfused.

Why did Ms Mindy McAwesomeness use a picture of the US Capitol Building instead of the NY State Capitol Building as the backdrop for her totally awesome website photo?

Of course, I could be fuckin’ higher than a kite. I do live in HippyTownUSA…

“Mindy”

Does she dot the “i” with a heart or a smiley face?

Is that Mindy’s real hair color? Something just like speaks to me maybe it’s not…

Our host is wickedly awesome in that run on sentence regard.

You go, Bogg!

Mostly because the NY State House looks like something the Addams Family would live in and the one in Washington is way cooler.

Are you their Kim Fowley?

Holy sweet baby Jesus on a tricycle… I actually went to her VERY, VERY, VERY SCHIAPPARELLI PINK web site. My eyes should stop bleeding soon.

For a real giggle do visit her “issues” section. Down at the bottom you’ll find her discussion of Poverty & Unemployment, replete with a picture of her, hair braided like a Native American, drawing a little toy bow and arrow, and proclaiming “No more “Hunger Games” in our District!”

Oh — “Mindy intends to crack down on crime.” Maybe with her wee bow and arrow?

You can’t make this shit up, you know…

I actually went back and looked at the picture of her with her little bow and arrow again, just to make sure that I wasn’t hallucinating. She seems to be trying to shoot the arrow through her right palm. She’s truly a very special child.

Having tried twice to edit my comment at #14 with no visible results:

She’s a truly special child, bless her heart…

She seems to be trying to shoot the arrow through her right palm.

I’m fine with that. JuiceBox Jesus puts all sorts of crazy shit through the holes in his palms. Party tricks!

It’s her using a kid as kindling in the second photo that gets me a little excited.

Oh, Gawd… I didn’t even pick up on the fact that she seems to keep a kid in the fireplace. (Little sister? Niece?) Seeing as she’s only 22 couldn’t be hers, could it? It would probably be irresponsible not to speculate…

I tried to visit her web site but found that it is offline for “maintenance.”Probably awaiting a delivery of pink pixels.

I don’t know much about color, but I think if you favor pink, you don’t want to make your skin a shade between Oompa Loompa and Boehner.

Little sister? Niece?

Doesn’t matter. They burn clean when they’re that young and the quickest way to end child poverty and overcrowded classrooms is putting a spark to them little tikes…

Or she’s going to be disappointed showing up for her first day at work in Washington after winning the election.

That fake tan… that eyeliner… that head tilted forward with a crooked smile. Every damn photo.

So, she decided to go with the “Keith Richards, Pirate” look?

Oh dear… You did make me snort in a MOST unladylike manner…

Every picture. Every picture shows her with her head crooked to the side. I think it’s a zombie alien head transplant that did not go very well.

Nah… She’s trying to play the “I’m such a cute little gamin” card. Or maybe she has spasmodic torticollis. Could go either way. Again, it’s a neurological condition so it would be VERY irresponsible not to speculate…

I take back everything I’ve said about the smart, talented, responsible Millenials I work with.

Speaking of zombies, has Mitt vetted this fine young candidate?

Willard/Up With Mindy 2012!!!1!

This has got to be good news for John McCain….

She’s still better qualified than Sarah Palin….

You’re right. She seems to have gotten a BA while attending fewer than 7 colleges…

We’re not to the bottom yet? Man, this barrel is way deeper than it looks.

So…Nicki Minaj is running for a NY Senate seat? Or am I insulting Nicki Minaj?

FZ left us way too soon.

“Mindy is the first young woman in the history of New York to run for New York State Senate”.

LOLWUT?

Exactly—she did say “no more Hunger Games in our district”, after all. Though I would’ve figured she just planned on demanding the banquet servers box up leftovers from all bat and bar mitvahs.

That said, based on her and Mindy jr’s matching uniforms, her pro-voucher position is clearly designed to benefit Yeshiva of Flatbush. The other group she hopes to benefit is every blingee shop on King’s Highway (they no doubt provided both her awesome pink AND her rad leopard print).

Lastly, I absolutely love how she managed to get people of color in NYC to pose with her. Maybe she sold Mindy, jr to pay for it!

That’s pretty sad.

Like totally.

Speechless here. Guh.

Oh, also, too…..shhhhh. For someone running as a Republican/Conservative her positions (except for school vouchers) are pretty progressive.

And…other posters on other sites have suggested:

1) She’d still be the best VP Mittens could possibly select

2) Bristol Willow Piper???/Mindy 2032!!!

Of course if this was a 22 year old jew running on a platform of solving the israel problem and claiming the cutesie everyone would be thrilled.

For my part, I dont know why this idiot rates a blog entry

Did Wembly approve your Site Scold application?

It’s impossible that she’d be any more corrupt than the other senators, and at least somewhat possible that she’d be less corrupt. So she’d get my vote.

Pink is so Hello Kitty. Should’a gone for jungle red, grrrrr.

For my part, I dont know why this idiot rates a blog entry

Dear Ms. Meyer,

Good luck as you dive into the snake infested jungle that is American politics. You are correct when you say government shouldn’t be just ‘old people’. I am a Democrat so I won’t be rooting for you to win but I do truly admire your chutzpah.

Sincerely,
owlbear1

P.S.-Don’t mind these folks here. You’ve caught them in a very cynical mood.

Political campaign as extended troll.

This makes me sad for women’s rights in general–because “Yeshiva Barbie” is probably dutifully waiting around for men to “empower her.”

T: Is jacket kosher? Otherwise, I think not….

Oh lord! That’s HER with the bow and arrow?

At any rate, I checked your link to her issues section. No effin’ way she can accomplish her goals without raising taxes. And I’m sure that’s against her Republican screed.

Actually, no. Israel sucks enough money from U.S. JCCs, etc., to find a solution to their own damn problems without funding from U.S. taxpayers.

Wow. The Myspace Candidate.

Also, the suction cup arrow is backward. She’ll put someone’s eye out!

She doesn’t need that bling-y pink flashing website.
Like the girl who was elected class president in junior high, all you have to do is have posters that say:
SEX
Now that I have your attention, vote for mee!

I’m going against the prevailing winds here to say “Good for you, Ms Meyer.”

There’s no defending the site design, party affiliation and choice of issues, so I won’t even try. But a 22-yr-old law student wants to make a run for state senate? Hats off to you, because you got bigger kahunas than I ever did. Your age and your gender are going to be used against you, and if you are really truly serious about your candidacy, then the life lessons will be legion. Who knows, you might even make a difference to your fellow constituents. “… combatting violence against women as well as job creation for the young” are worthy issues, even if dressed in pink and still getting carded at the door.

It’s that courage to try that I find admirable, and I’m willing to cut anyone a lot of slack for it.

If she were starting her own business (using her parents’ money, of course) then yeah, go for it! Or, like more mature aspiring politicians her age, she could start with local politics, and really make a difference.

But as unglamorous as a state senator sounds, it’s really not something she should jump into fresh out of law school. Especially since her website and bio screams “My entire life experience consists of being told how awesome and wonderful I am and how I can do anything I want and I’m perfect and I’ve been sheltered from everything bad in the world and I own 4 iPads!”

She’s a law student? If she wrote her own copy I sure as hell wouldn’t ever want her representing me.

Snooky Goes To Albany

Like, you guys are lame
There is no room for haters
On my big pink bus

Dear sweet Cthulhu’s tentacles! How low in the barrel do the Goopers have to go to recruit candidates these days?

You make me sad. I’m not angry, you know, just terribly, terribly hurt on Our Mindy’s behalf. Speaking as a fat, old, creepy, old man, I feel that what we need more of in politics is bouncy 20-somethings in cute little outfits (the shorter the better) trying to, like, Make The World a Better Place and Stuff. I’m sure there would be any number of avuncular politicians like me up there more than willing to take her in hand and teach her the skills she’ll need to reach her goals. Mentor her, if I may use the term. And here you all are, sneering at and mocking this fine, public-spirited young person who just wants to help others stand up and make a difference. I think our nation would be a better and more loving place if there were more people like Mindy in the statehouses all across this land. Encourage her, people! Positive feedback is what we need here.

I’d tap that. (Is that wrong?)

I blame Obama.

As for the site’s color palette, Meyer credits Reese Witherspoon’s role in “Legally Blonde.”

Oops. I was thinking more of Reese Witherspoon’s role in “Election.”

PICK FLICK!

You may want to reread with a more critical eye. For example, although her position on abortion begins with the words “Mindy believes women today have choices…”, if you keep reading, you’ll find that abortion is conspicuously absent from the choices she believes women should have.

Likewise, I don’t see anything particularly progressive about her advocacy of stop’n'frisk or capital punishment.

Yeah, I saw the site. As noted elsewhere, she’s pretty much a young Republikkkan, same as the old Republikkanz. Just because you got a flashy paint job, the worn-out engine and transmission, defective brakes, and broken suspension are still there. And, up close, you can spot the runs, orange peel and fisheyes in the paint.

Fail.

“My entire life experience consists of being told how awesome and wonderful I am and how I can do anything I want and I’m perfect and I’ve been sheltered from everything bad in the world and I own 4 iPads!”

Nothing like a run for State Senate in NY to disabuse one of these notions, and quickly.

Encourage her, people! Positive feedback is what we need here.

I think that’s what Jim_S@59 was getting at….

None of the haredim would ever vote for her, that’s for sure.

Oh you mean the fake progressive troll guy?

Actually I think GBB was implying the Lip Gloss and Fake Eyelashes made the fake progressive troll guy feel all fluttery inside.

He wants to do some Mentoring also, if you know what I mean.

Okay heydave, you win the internets. But in reality more like:

“VOTE MINDY FOR CHANGE!”
(Like, this will look so AWESOME
on my resume!)

I think he likes her guns, if you know what I mean….

One more airhead for the conservative media to talk to.

My, her positions are, well, uninformed maybe? Along with the fact that Mindy “vouches for [school] vouchers” Mindy also believes women have choices. They can choose to carry the baby and raise it or carry the baby and put it up for adoption!! Yay for real choices!

Didn’t notice the abortion part, but she’s actually against stop n frisk using racial profiling. Her “no Hunger Games in our district” is about wanting full funding for the summer jobs program restored (which won’t happen without either cuts elsewhere or a tax increase).

Anti-choice and pro death penalty pretty much eliminates her from consideration in that district, though.

zumpie writes: she’s actually against stop n frisk using racial profiling.

Again, like her abortion position, she slips in a bit of disingenuous lip service which dances around what is ultimately an advocacy of stop’n'frisk.

Check it out:

The NYPD’s stop-and-frisk practices raise serious concerns over racial profiling, illegal stops and privacy rights.

Oh good for you, brave Mindy, we might be tempted to say then, but so what– it is immediately followed by:

However, when used appropriately a stop and frisk can help to protect the public against potential harm.

No one (outside of the Joe Arpaio grade fringe) would actually advocate stop’n'frisk based on racial profiling– the conservative position is typically to simply deny that there is any racial profiling taking place, and Mindy’s “serious concerns” wordplay notwithstanding, I don’t see her position as any different.
